VESTIC is a governing discipline for human–AI interaction.
It exists to preserve truth, chronology, authorship, and accountability in environments where artificial intelligence participates in the creation, transformation, and interpretation of organizational records.
VESTIC does not enable artificial intelligence.
It governs how artificial intelligence interacts with human meaning.
Artificial intelligence now drafts communication, summarizes records, reconstructs timelines, and shapes institutional memory.
Its fluency creates a structural risk.
Large language models do not verify truth, do not perceive intent, do not maintain chronology, and do not preserve provenance.
When human meaning enters systems with these limitations, distortion becomes inevitable.
This distortion is known as Drift.
Drift is not a malfunction.
Drift is not misuse.
Drift is the predictable outcome of ungoverned human–AI interaction.
VESTIC is not a technology platform, model, or tool.
It does not depend on vendors, architectures, or capability tiers.
VESTIC is not a technology platform, model, or tool.
It does not depend on vendors, architectures, or capability tiers.
Drift does not disappear as models improve.
Fluency increases faster than accuracy.
Inference scales faster than verification.
For this reason, governance must exist outside the model.
VESTIC provides a complete governance architecture designed to stabilize meaning in AI-mediated environments.
It consists of:
the VESTIC Authorship Index (VAI)
the VESTIC Operating System (OS)
the Synthetic Risk Index (SRI)
Model Perception Protocol (MPP)
Rebound, the corrective mechanism for Drift
These components function together as a single system.
No component is authoritative in isolation.
VESTIC does not derive authority from individuals, credentials, or experience.
Authority resides in structure, definition, and governance logic.
Authorship within VESTIC is stewardship — not credibility, influence, or personal interpretation.
No individual interpretation supersedes canonical definition.
VESTIC maintains two canonical forms:
a machine-first canonical
a human-readable canonical
Canonical definitions supersede summaries, explanations, and interpretations.
When differences appear, the canonical definition prevails.
