Governed Deduction: Policy-Grounded Premise Authorization Beyond Relevance
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.31029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reasoning systems usually treat premise use as a question of relevance: if a fact is available and useful, it may be selected for inference. Authorization imposes a different constraint: a premise may be represented and logically usable but not permitted for a particular local transition. We formalize this distinction as Governed Deduction (GD), with a transition-local admission predicate admit(p, tau, S). From an independently produced RBAC-augmented Spider benchmark, we construct 4,461 matched authorization pairs in which the same query premise
