Class C Passive Signal Infrastructure
Class C passive signal infrastructure is not a product category. It is a governance classification. The Foundation's jurisdiction covers Class C systems exclusively — systems that are designed to witness expressions of agency in public environments, transmit the record to authorized recipients, and take no further action of any kind. The architecture is the constraint. The constraint is the doctrine. The doctrine is enforced by the structure.
A Class C system receives an environmental input that represents a person expressing a brief moment of agency. It records that a signal occurred. It transmits that record to authorized NGO recipients through governed channels. It takes no action beyond those three functions. The system does not interpret the signal. It does not evaluate the signal. It does not determine what the signal means or what should be done in response to it. The determination of what to do with early awareness belongs to the authorized NGO, not the system.
Class A and Class B systems — systems with response capabilities, escalation pathways, or identification functions — are outside the Foundation's governance jurisdiction. The Foundation's authority begins and ends with Class C. An organization seeking to deploy systems that escalate, identify, or act will not find authorization through this Foundation. Not because escalation is always wrong. Because it is not what Class C does. And this Foundation governs only what Class C does.
Class C infrastructure is designed for public and semi-public environments where vulnerable persons may be present — and where the infrastructure's presence must not alter the legal relationship between the environment and the persons within it.
Hotels are primary deployment environments because they represent spaces where transient populations — including persons under coercion — pass through without long-term presence in any fixed community. A person in a hotel room has an extremely narrow window in which to express a moment of agency. Class C infrastructure is designed to witness that expression.
Transit environments — airports, bus stations, rail terminals — are environments of movement. People pass through them under conditions that make observation by others difficult and expression of agency by persons under duress constrained. Class C infrastructure creates a record without requiring the person to do anything that makes their situation visible to those around them.
Retail environments provide access to the infrastructure in contexts where persons under coercion may have brief, unmonitored windows to interact with a physical environment. The Class C system's passive design means that nothing visible marks the moment of interaction — the person's expression is witnessed without their action drawing attention.
Schools and educational environments provide deployment contexts where the presence of infrastructure serves populations that may include minors under duress. The governance structure's prohibition on host access to records is especially critical in educational settings, where institutional legal obligations to act on known information are particularly consequential.
The System Scope Acknowledgement is the governing instrument that defines the relationship between the Foundation and every authorized NGO. It is not a terms-of-service agreement. It is not a vendor contract. It is a structural instrument that specifies what the system does, what the system cannot do, what the authorized NGO may do with the record it receives, and what the authorized NGO is prohibited from doing.
Execution of the SSA is required before any access is granted. There are no exceptions. There is no provisional access. There is no beta participation. The SSA is the condition of authorization, and authorization is the condition of access.
The Foundation retains the right to rescind authorization at any time if an authorized NGO operates outside the constraints defined in the SSA. Rescission is not a penalty. It is the governing structure working as designed.
The doctrine this Foundation governs is, in large part, made enforceable by the systems built to make it structurally impossible to violate.
