It states eight architecture principles, each tied to the obligation it was written against, with governance templates and a machine-readable model for reporting which controls a project actually exercises.
It is the method behind AnyDPP, and it is applied to the project that produced it, which is where the report on this site comes from.
Where COADF sits
COADF is the AI development core of the Semantic Trust Framework. The runtime path a decision travels is the Trust Corridor. The surface where a person sees and resolves what the system stopped is the Trust Console. COADF is the part that says how the software is built.
The eight principles
Some principles are published in full. Others state the principle and stop, because the operative detail belongs to an application that has been filed and not published. Every section says which of the two it is, rather than leaving a reader to notice the difference.
It is not a certification. Nothing here is issued, awarded or withdrawn by anybody, and running it produces no mark of any kind.
It is not a norm. It does not stand against ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework or an audit assurance architecture. It describes how to build the evidence those ask for.
Licence, proposed and not yet granted
The proposal is Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 International for the document text and this site copy, so that a document adapted from it stays open, and the MIT licence for the published schemas and the artifacts generated from them.
MIT rather than Apache 2.0, deliberately: Apache section 3 grants patent rights expressly, and there is a filed application in this family. That is a reason to prefer MIT here; it is not a reason to think MIT settles any patent question, because it does not.
The proposed CC BY-SA licence covers the text only. It grants no patent rights and does not impose share-alike obligations on independent implementations.
Proposed attribution: COADF, by L. C. Hogrefe (AnyLAI), version 2.2, 2026.
The grant the framework document offers enumerates P-1 through P-7 and says nothing at all about P-8. That silence is a fact about the text, not a decision: it is not stated as an exclusion and it is not stated as an inclusion, and the scope over P-8 is unresolved. It is written here rather than left for a reader to notice by comparing lists.
No grant is made by this page. The notice above is the proposed wording, held for the founder's decision on scope, and the file-by-file inventory it applies to is prepared alongside it. A licence, once granted publicly, is not taken back by calling it provisional, which is precisely why it is not granted here first and decided afterwards.
IP and publication status
A Brazilian patent application relating to certain implementation aspects is pending before the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (INPI), application BR 10 2026 020627 0. No patent has been granted. The public COADF materials describe architectural principles and practices. They do not represent the legal scope of the pending application. Certain implementation details remain outside the public edition.
