Simple Explanation (for anyone)
Imagine a system that is always running.
Nothing disappears from the screen.
Nothing breaks.
Nothing restarts.
The system does not constantly interfere with what you are seeing.
Only one thing happens:
When a person tries to perform a new action, the system checks whether that action is allowed.
If it is allowed:
the action happens normally.
If it is not allowed:
the action simply does not occur.
No warning screens.
No errors.
No white screens.
The system does not control the user continuously.
It only evaluates new actions, exactly at the moment they are requested.
Technical Explanation (for developers)
The problem with traditional models
Most systems implement governance like this:
legal state changes
→ UI reacts
→ components are recreated
→ side effects appear
This mixes governance, execution, and interface.
The result is instability, recomposition loops, and unpredictable behavior.
The correct model: governing actions, not states
In Legal State Governance:
Legal state changes do not trigger execution
Only explicit human actions are evaluated
Architecturally:
Layer Responsibility
Governance Decides whether an action is allowed
Executor Executes the action if allowed
Interface Displays the current state
No layer leaks into another.
The concept of Explicit Human Action
Every sensitive operation must pass through a single, explicit checkpoint:
Button(onClick = {
if (governance.allows(action)) {
executor.execute()
}
})
This is the only authorized place to execute something meaningful.
There is no:
automatic execution
hidden side effects
implicit navigation
Practical application (WebView)
The WebView is created once
It starts in a neutral state (about:blank)
Governance never manipulates the WebView itself
Navigation only happens after a human click
Interception occurs only here:
shouldOverrideUrlLoading()
And it evaluates:
intent (domain)
legal context
Not the full technical URL.
Why this model is robust
Eliminates white screens
Prevents recomposition loops
Supports legal downgrades without disruption
Preserves system predictability
From an engineering standpoint:
The system becomes deterministic because it reacts only to human actions.
One-sentence summary
Simple:
The system only decides when you try to do something new.
Technical:
Governance operates exclusively at explicit action points, never on passive state changes.
