The membrane between human authority and AI capability is now something a clerk could verify on Court hardware in two hours. Here is how a 217-byte text file became a constitutional computer, why it has two strata, and why the AI inside it is always sensor, never judge.

A three-ring microkernel architecture and 36-month phased roadmap for building the 5QLN Foundation governance system. Specifies kernel components, the C1 Validator's audit-mode extension, AOSRAP attestation lifecycle, CBRP recovery state machine, and four named open seams to close first.

The Codex's own §3.5 is the verifier — not commentary on it. Three layers — cryptographic, grammatical, epistemic-register — implemented as a deterministic AI-free binary any third party can reproduce bit-for-bit. Plus the Phase 1→2→3 harness build that earns a Chancery verdict.

A step-by-step guide for human fiduciaries to initialize, operate, and maintain the 5QLN governance kernel—the only operating system that enforces the Membrane Protocol, walks the S→G→Q→P→V cycle, and produces byte-identical, court-ready artifacts.
