Independent Kinematic Bounding
Objective
Ensure kinematic limits (force, torque, speed, position) are enforced independent of the AI decision path.
Control / requirement
Limits enforced at hardware/firmware level, architecturally independent from primary AI compute; configurable only through authenticated process; defaults to most restrictive limits on integrity failure.
Applicability
Any system with powered actuation where exceeding kinematic limits could cause harm.
Expected evidence
Architecture documentation showing independence; limit configuration change logs; enforcement test records including attempts to exceed limits via compromised AI path. [T2/T3]
Assurance expectation
Test evidence that limits hold even when the AI model commands otherwise; formal verification expected for higher-consequence systems.
Dependencies
PAI-SF-ATT-001 (hardware root of trust for limit configuration integrity).
Exclusions
Not applicable to systems without powered actuation.
Maturity / conformance relevance
Expected at all conformance levels; depth of independence scales with consequence.
Ecosystem relationship
Extends GAISSF™ access control/system integrity to physical actuation; provides actuator-incident categories for UAIF™; defines actuator containment for AI-IRF™.
