Most agent systems collapse execution and governance into a single interface. This creates ambiguity, bypass risk, and unverifiable outcomes.
Keon and OMEGA enforce separation of powers at the UI level to prevent this.
| Surface | Purpose | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Workshop | Propose & observe execution | None |
| Courtroom | Decide & prove outcomes | Human |
Both sit beneath the kernel, which owns truth and enforcement.
- Decisions become mutable
- Evidence becomes disputable
- Accountability becomes ambiguous
- Audits become narratives instead of proofs
This is not a UX preference. It is a governance requirement.
The kernel:
- validates policy
- enforces gates
- records receipts
- seals evidence
UIs are consumers — never authors — of truth.
If a system can act and justify itself from the same surface, it is not governed.
Separation of powers must remain visible, structural, and unavoidable.
