Delegation Model
AI agents do not hold independent authority in selfdriven.legal. Every agent operates under a KERI-delegated AID — a dip (delegated inception) event that derives the agent's identifier from the conductor's AID, with explicitly scoped permissions. An agent cannot exceed what its conductor delegated.
Cryptographic constraint: The delegation is not a policy document — it is a key event. The agent's AID cannot produce valid signatures on actions outside its delegated scope. The constraint is mathematical, not procedural.
