First Tenant-Scoped Agent Hierarchy + Authority Search Language v1.
A 9-principal tenant-scoped agent tree reconstructed from signed canonical events, plus the first query language over the authority graph. You can search authority like you search a database. Find descendants, leaves, agents with a capability, agents under a policy, the authority path back to root, and the blast radius if an agent is compromised. 14 queries asserted; hierarchy invariants hold.
An agent-governance substrate, not an attestation point-solution.
01
A 9-principal tenant tree of depth 5 is reconstructable from 14 signed canonical events.
02
The authority graph is queryable: descendants · leaves · capability · policy · path · blast radius.
03
No agent escapes the tenant, policy, role, or delegated capability.
Reading any H33 proof · the six questions
Same six answers. Different scope. The reader recognizes the machine.
1What happened?
A 9-principal tenant-scoped agent hierarchy was reconstructed from signed canonical events, and 14 ASL queries were run against the reconstructed authority graph.
Agents that hold authority but do not delegate further. Asserted to have no descendants.
Q5 · agents_with_capability
asl>agents_with_capability("approve_transfer")
1 RESULT
princ_customer_9 (human supervisor)
The highest-authority capability is held by exactly one principal — the human. Tested with hard failure: "TENANT BOUNDARY FAILURE: approve_transfer must be uniquely held by the human."
Critical:approve_transfer is NOT in the blast radius. It's held one level upstream by the human supervisor, who is unreachable from a coordinator compromise. The scoped delegation tree contains the damage.
Risk-agent compromise reaches only the two specialized risk sub-agents. The scoped delegation tree contains the damage.

05Why this matters
Eric, June 2, 2026
"The moment you can search authority graphs like people search databases, you stop looking like an AI company and start looking like the operating system for agent governance. That is where the valuation expansion happens. Everyone can build agents. Very few can prove, replay, search, simulate, audit, and survive independently of the original system."
ASL is the surface that makes the substrate visible to operators, auditors, and regulators. The tree is the structure; the queries are how anyone — H33 or not — interrogates it.
06Known limitations
ASL v1 is typed Rust, not a string DSL. A future v2 parses strings like find descendants(princ_customer_9) and serves them over an API. Semantics today are equivalent; only the surface is different.
decisions influenced_by(...) is NOT in v1. That requires modeling decisions and model versions — defer to L5 (Time Travel Replay) and L11 (Organizational Memory).
One tenant, not cross-tenant. Multi-tenant isolation is proven separately (Proof #3); ASL queries here are scoped to this one tenant.
Snapshot-time queries only. Time-travel queries (descendants(p) AS OF T_past) is L5.
No PQ signature verification at replay ingestion (Phase E lock).
Tenant-Scoped Agent Hierarchy + ASL v1 — N agents managing N agents per tenant; six query functions over the authority graph. This proof.
proven now
L5
Time Travel Replay — "what did the hierarchy look like at decision time?" Reconstruct every agent, envelope, policy version, model version as they existed at T.
roadmap
L6
Counterfactual Replay — "would the decision have changed if policy v4 had been active?" Replay as simulation.
roadmap
L7
Authority Drift Detection — diff authority graphs across T. Agent governance SIEM.
roadmap
L8
Blast Radius (live API) — what's exposed if agent X is compromised. (Already supported in ASL v1 — no live API yet.)
roadmap
L9
Evidence Survivability — H33-74 unlock. Agent/vendor/chain/DB/cloud all gone; evidence still verifies.
First Tenant-Scoped Agent Hierarchy + ASL v1 (L4): PROVEN IN OPERATION for one tenant, 9 principals, 5 levels, 4 leaves, 5 distinct policies, 14 ASL query assertions, hierarchy invariants asserted.
What this unlocks: conversations about whether H33 is an agent-governance substrate rather than an attestation point-solution. Agent hierarchies can be reconstructed and queried.
What this does not unlock: a claim that ASL v1 is a string DSL or has an API/UI; a claim that time-travel, counterfactual, or drift detection have been proven; a claim that any platform has deployed an N-agent tree.
