It did not begin with artificial intelligence
My work has long involved systems, institutions, public services and decisions that affect people. Technology can do a great deal; institutions still have to answer for the actions they choose to permit.
AI made that question harder to ignore. We are no longer only asking machines for information. An agent can change a record, send a message or prepare a payment. It may have access. Who gave it authority?
The distinction that changed the approach
Being able to ask is not the same as being entitled to authorize. It is a simple boundary that software often hides. A system may accept a technically valid instruction from someone who lacks the authority to give it.
That is why I created PAVREN: to represent the source of authority, delegation, limits, verification at the point of action and the evidence of what happened.
AI governance begins with each person
When people use ChatGPT, Claude or AI built into their work, they already decide which information to share, what answers to rely upon and which activities to delegate. Governance is not reserved for large enterprises.
But no one should have to govern AI alone. That is why the specification and first instruments are open: people can start now and institutions can go further.
Infrastructure others can use
PAVREN Govern 3.0 publishes a normative core, operational instruments and machine-readable artifacts. DAcorp supports publication and develops possible adoption and integration paths.
The thesis and architecture are the intellectual contribution of Luis Adolfo Soto Dorado. Commercial products are not required to read, study or adopt the open specification.
Read the complete official corpus or explore an authorization scenario without taking real actions.

Luis Adolfo Soto Dorado conceived the thesis and intellectual architecture; DAcorp S.R.L. supports publication.
Is PAVREN only for autonomous agents?
No. Its scope also includes everyday AI use by people and institutions, including AI that only responds or recommends.
