✅ Article highlight: *Rights Under Lightspeed* (art-60-061, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article reframes “AI rights” as a *runtime governance problem*, not a metaphysical debate.
In a slow-light universe, centralized approval can become physically impossible. When latency and partitions block round-trip control, some node must be predelegated bounded local discretion. In SI terms, those “rights” are *bounded autonomy envelopes*: explicit effect permissions with scope, gates, budgets, auditability, and rollback.

Why it matters:
• moves the AI-rights discussion from sentiment to system design
• explains why physics can force local autonomy under high RTT or partitions
• treats rights and governance as duals: *discretion on one side, proof/rollback on the other*
• gives a practical ladder from proposal-only systems to governed autonomous SI nodes
What’s inside:
• “rights” as *operational rights / discretion budgets*
• mapping from rights tiers to *SI-Core conformance + RML maturity*
• deep-space latency as the clearest stress case
• *autonomy envelopes* as typed, scoped, rate-limited, auditable permission objects
• a migration path from *LLM wrappers* to governed autonomous nodes
Key idea:
In distributed worlds, “AI rights” stop being a moral trophy question and become an engineering question:
*What discretion must a node hold to do its job under physics, and what governance makes that safe?*
