Architecting Accountability: A Comprehensive Framework for Decision Provenance, Deterministic Replay, and Forensic Auditing in Machine-Mediated Systems

Architecting Accountability: A Comprehensive Framework for Decision Provenance, Deterministic Replay, and Forensic Auditing in Machine-Mediated Systems The proliferation of machine-mediated decision architectures in high-stakes operational environments necessitates a paradigm shift from traditional event logging to comprehensive decision provenance. When automated systems execute bounded, non-lethal software actions—ranging from automated network quarantine to algorithmic credential invalidation—the ability to reconstruct, audit, and interrogate the operational history is paramount. This report details the theoretical, structural, and technical architecture for a public f
