The Framework

A framework for ordering governmental informational power

Ordered Informational Authority, Fiduciary Commons, FCGIAS, and the model acts perform different but connected work.

Fiduciary Commons is not a synonym for privacy law and not a claim that all information should be hidden from government. Government must possess sufficient informational capability to perform legitimate public functions. The framework asks how that capability should be allocated, limited, activated, and tested.

Ordered Informational Authority supplies the general theory. Fiduciary Commons applies that theory to the relationship among the individual, information, and government. FCGIAS translates the resulting limits into architecture and conformance. The model acts translate them into positive law.
