Human Governance Without the Human Is a Governance Failure
Many AI governance documents speak beautifully about human oversight while quietly moving the living human to the edge of the work. A policy is not judgment. A checklist is not responsibility. A sign-off is not presence.
The failure begins when governance becomes a performance layer around work that is already drifting. The human is asked to approve, but not to shape. Review happens after the system has chosen its direction.
Signalane starts from a different premise: the human anchor must remain active inside the work. The person holding purpose, context, current truth, and moral boundary cannot be replaced by an artifact that merely remembers what someone once wrote.
This does not make AI weaker. It makes AI safer and more useful. A capable system can move faster when it has a clear return point.
