Reconciliation Gap

The institutional condition in which what was authorized and what was executed cannot be reconciled per execution because the required evidence was not captured when authorization crossed into execution.

Why it matters

The gap between what downstream records show and the operational meaning the agent actually resolved before acting. The Runtime Semantic State Record closes this gap by preserving the evidence required for reconstruction.

Control relationship

Authorized meaning must remain connected to the meaning operationalized at runtime.

The Reconciliation Gap arises when authorization and execution cannot be reconstructed per execution because the necessary runtime evidence was not captured.
