Architecture

Build only the informational power government needs

Architecture should make unnecessary governmental informational power unavailable rather than merely promise that it will remain unused.

A promise not to misuse a capability leaves the capability in place. Fiduciary Commons therefore treats architecture as part of public law. Systems should deliver legitimate public functions while withholding unnecessary standing power to observe, correlate, infer, retain, or repurpose information.

FCGIAS evaluates effective informational power, not labels or physical topology. It reaches APIs, shared queries, vendor platforms, learned artifacts, metadata, and ordinary arrangements through which government can exercise capability.
