The Instruction Stack Audit Framework (ISAF): A Technical Methodology for Tracing AI Accountability Across Nine Abstraction Layers
Addresses AI accountability failures by providing a nine-layer technical specification for documenting instruction propagation from hardware to outputs. Includes 127-checkpoint audit protocol, cryptographic verification, and risk scoring based on abstraction distance. Demonstrates application to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 compliance requirements.

2025Deterministic Bias Detection for NYC Local Law 144: Why Reproducibility Matters More Than Accuracy
Presents a reproducibility-first architecture for detecting linguistic bias in job descriptions under NYC Local Law 144. Argues that regulatory compliance requires deterministic systems over probabilistic ML models. Details rule-based pattern matching, version-controlled lexicons, reproducible scoring, and cryptographic evidence generation for legally defensible documentation.
