# VWDC-08 — Continual World Governance, Certificate Stability, and Reflexive Deployment Invariants

## Core governance invariant

$$
\boxed{
RTC
\wedge
Safety
\wedge
Authority
\wedge
Provenance
\wedge
Recovery.
}
$$

## Protected commit rule

Reality-facing actions must come from the intersection of all mandatory certificate gates.

## Churn bound

If every frozen-regime promotion improves certified score by at least $h$:

$$
\boxed{
N_{\mathrm{promote}}
\le
\left\lfloor
\frac{U_0-U_{\min}}{h}
\right\rfloor.
}
$$

## Nonstationary stability

If every drift causes at most $H$ recovery steps:

$$
\boxed{
N_{\mathrm{uncert}}(T)
\le
H(K_T+1).
}
$$

If $K_T=o(T)$:

$$
\boxed{
N_{\mathrm{uncert}}(T)/T\to0.
}
$$

## Core warning

$$
\boxed{
\text{parameter convergence}
\neq
\text{governance stability}.
}
$$
