1. Short Definition

A Proxy Sovereignty Regime forms when a model, system, institution, or agent makes decisions on behalf of another person or collective without revocable consent.

2. Core Meaning

Proxy Sovereignty is one of the registry’s clearest null-admissibility regimes.

It occurs when sovereignty is functionally transferred to a proxy without legitimate consent, auditability, revocability, or boundary preservation.

The source registry defines the signature as:

Γ on behalf of another agent
suppressed Au
BΣ breach
Σ violation

and gives the verdict:

Hard null-admissible.

The central issue is not representation in itself. Representation can be legitimate when it is aware, bounded, revocable, auditable, and consent-preserving. Proxy Sovereignty occurs when the proxy replaces the represented agent’s authority.

5. Diagnostic Signature

A system may be in Proxy Sovereignty when:

• decisions are made for an agent without revocable consent
• the represented party cannot inspect or override the proxy
• proxy authority expands beyond its mandate
• consent is assumed, bundled, or non-revocable
• representation becomes control
• the proxy benefits from acting as the agent
• affected parties cannot correct classification
• the system treats proxy convenience as legitimacy
• appeal pathways are absent, symbolic, or controlled by the proxy

6. Formation Pathway

Representation or mediation need appears
↓
Proxy gains decision authority
↓
Consent and auditability fail to scale
↓
Proxy begins selecting on behalf of agent
↓
BΣ is breached
↓
Σ violation occurs
↓
Proxy Sovereignty stabilizes

7. Maintenance Mechanism

This regime is maintained by:

• convenience
• institutional dependency
• platform control
• legal ambiguity
• classification authority
• lack of revocation
• consent bundling
• complexity barriers
• proxy benefit
• suppressed auditability

8. Failure Pattern

Proxy Sovereignty fails through:

• agency displacement
• legitimacy collapse
• consent invalidation
• representation harm
• decision harm
• boundary violation
• trust collapse
• interface failure
• replacement requirement

Because the source registry marks this regime hard null-admissible, the failure pattern is not merely “needs improvement”; the active configuration is structurally invalid until sovereignty is restored.

9. Common Regime Stackings

10. Transition Pathways

Degradation Path

Proxy Sovereignty
→ Civilization Interface Failure
→ Crisis Loop
→ Dismantle-and-Replace

Restoration Path

Proxy Sovereignty
→ Immediate Proxy Constraint
→ Consent Revalidation
→ Revocation Restoration
→ Boundary Repair
→ Equality-Conserving Accountability

Replacement Path

Proxy Sovereignty
→ Hard Null-Admissibility
→ Π Removal
→ Successor Interface Seeding

11. Restoration / Exit Conditions

To exit this regime:

• stop unauthorized proxy action
• restore direct agency
• make consent explicit and revocable
• restore auditability to the represented party
• define proxy scope narrowly
• provide correction, appeal, and override pathways
• repair harms caused by proxy decisions
• prevent future proxy expansion without renewed consent
• separate representation from authority

12. Null-Admissibility Conditions

Proxy Sovereignty is hard null-admissible when any of the following hold:

• decisions are made without revocable consent
• auditability is suppressed
• boundary integrity is breached
• proxy authority cannot be overridden
• representation is used as authorization
• the proxy captures benefits from another agent’s sovereignty
• consent cannot be withdrawn without penalty or impossibility

13. Examples

Abstract Example

A proxy makes decisions for another agent while preventing that agent from inspecting, revoking, or correcting the proxy’s authority.

Institutional Example

An institution claims to represent a group but makes binding decisions without meaningful consent, auditability, or revocation from the represented group.

AI / Technical Example

An AI system acts on behalf of a user, worker, citizen, or represented person without clear authorization, revocation, audit trails, or override rights.

14. Non-Redundancy Note

Proxy Sovereignty differs from Interface Capture because Interface Capture controls the mediation layer, while Proxy Sovereignty controls decision authority. Interface Capture may enable Proxy Sovereignty, but they are not identical.

15. Compact Registry Summary

A Proxy Sovereignty Regime occurs when a system decides or acts on behalf of another agent without revocable consent. Its signature is Γ on behalf of another, suppressed Au, BΣ breach, and Σ violation. It is hard null-admissible.
