  Bounded AI and a Layered Assured-PNT Architecture for Jamming-Resilient PNT

  A layered assured positioning, navigation and timing architecture combining bounded artificial intelligence, integrity monitoring and sensor fusion, in which authority boundaries are defined between machine recommendations, human decisions and deterministic decisions. Machine-learning authority is confined to advisory functions while consequential decisions remain subject to deterministic control and human oversight. Specifies a mixed software- and hardware-in-the-loop test campaign with fault injection, human-autonomy teaming measures, and representative measures of effectiveness, and states that the campaign is specified rather than performed.

  The Authority Gap: Why Meaningful Human Control Fails at the Tier Where It Is Signed

  Digital War (Springer Nature / Palgrave Macmillan) · Vol. 7, article 6 (2026) · Published 31 August 2026 · DOI 10.1057/s42984-026-00113-1 · ISSN 2662-1983 2026 Peer-Reviewed Article

  Argues that the hollowness the critical literature documents in meaningful human control has an identifiable architectural source: authority is distributed across computational tiers, and the human signature attaches at a terminal tier downstream of where classification, proportionality and collateral-damage estimation are computed. Names this the terminal-systemic authority gap, in which control is formally present yet substantively hollow because the endorser cannot review machine-paced, opaque reasoning inside the decision window. Third peer-reviewed journal article and third discipline, after hardware-security engineering and security theory.

  The Ingratitude Paradox: A Causal Mechanism of Democratic Discounting of Successful Protection

  Theory-building and mechanism-specification study. Specifies a five-stage causal mechanism by which democratic publics systematically discount protective action that has succeeded, grounded in the securitization literature and the availability-heuristic tradition in risk perception, with scope conditions set by a contrastive case and a stated falsifiable cross-case prediction identified as untested.
