IMPLICATION
Audit trails generate themselves.
When specifications execute directly, every decision is inherently traceable to the specification that produced it. No reconstruction. No approximation.
Compliance documentation becomes a byproduct, not a project.
What gets generated automatically
Decision trace
Which specification executed, with what inputs, producing what output
Rule explanation
Human-readable explanation of why the decision was made
Version history
Which version of the specification was active at decision time
Change attribution
Who changed the specification, when, with what approval
Mathematical proof
Cryptographic proof that the decision followed the specification
