18.2 – Clause Attribution for Open Governance Models

§18.2.1 Legal Authority for Attribution Rights

1. Attribution is declared a simulation-governed legal right and operational entitlement of all participants who contribute to, execute, validate, or govern clause-based simulations under the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) Charter. This right is enforceable through clause metadata integrity, replay traceability, and credentialed simulation logs.

2. This right is protected and recognized under:

Swiss Civil Code, Articles 60–79, which govern legal standing and contributor recognition in public benefit associations;
WIPO Development Agenda (2007), Recommendation 16 on knowledge commons and digital IP sharing;
UNESCO Open Science Recommendation (2021), §4.3 on epistemic equity and authorial visibility;
OECD Principles for Access to Publicly Funded Research Outputs (2021);
The Pact for the Future (UNGA A/RES/77/316), Clause 62 on participatory innovation frameworks;
UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR), which governs the legal validity of simulation logs and smart governance contracts.

3. Attribution becomes binding upon successful simulation validation through NSF-credentialed execution logs and must be recorded with immutable hashes, SID-CID traceability, and clause maturity ≥ M2.

§18.2.2 Attribution Ledger Requirements

1. Every clause registered under ClauseCommons must maintain an Attribution Ledger (AL) that includes:

NSF Credential ID (CID) of each contributor;
Role classification (Contributor, Operator, Validator, Observer, Custodian);
Timestamp of action;
Execution hash linking to simulation instance (SID);
DACI-based Attribution Confidence Score.

2. The Attribution Ledger is a mandatory metadata component required for clause licensing, scenario deployment, revenue sharing, and archival indexing.

3. Each Ledger entry must be cryptographically signed, replay-verifiable, and matchable against SID runtime logs maintained by ClauseCommons Validator Nodes.

4. Failure to maintain an Attribution Ledger invalidates clause eligibility for:

Licensing issuance;
Capital triggers under §6.7;
Public simulation access via Track V dashboards;
Cross-track knowledge commons registration.

§18.2.3 Attribution Confidence Protocol (ACP)

1. The Attribution Confidence Protocol (ACP) defines the probabilistic scoring algorithm that produces a Delta Attribution Certainty Index (DACI) for each role.

2. DACI = F(Role Weight × Simulation Impact × Replay Frequency × Audit Clearance)

3. A DACI score:

Below 0.70 is flagged as “low confidence,” requiring manual arbitration;
Between 0.70 and 0.90 is “provisionally valid” and subject to public peer verification;
≥0.90 is “fully certified,” eligible for clause revenue, licensing rights, and treaty inclusion.

4. ACP calculations shall be auditable, reproducible, and embedded in each clause under the ClauseCommons Metadata Field: DACI_SCORE[0–1.00].

5. The SEIC and NSF Certification Councils shall oversee DACI scoring algorithm integrity, ensuring it aligns with cross-domain attribution fairness principles and epistemic justice standards.

§18.2.4 Role-Based Attribution Differentiation

1. Attribution must be structured according to Role Classification under GRA operational doctrine:

Contributor (C): Clause author or risk model developer.
Operator (O): Executes clause within live simulation or risk interface.
Validator (V): Confirms clause compliance with GRA doctrine, performs SID integrity checks.
Observer (Ob): Participates in simulation testing or scenario feedback loops.
Custodian (Cu): Hosts clause, simulation archive, or sovereign deployment environment.

2. Each role carries a default Attribution Score Weight (ASW):

Role

Default ASW

Contributor

0.35

Operator

0.25

Validator

0.20

Observer

0.10

Custodian

0.10

3. Dynamic weighting is allowed based on clause maturity and simulation impact class, but must be reviewed by NSF auditors every two quarters.

§18.2.5 Attribution Across Clause Lifecycles

1. Attribution persists across the entire lifecycle of a clause:

Original draft through final ratification;
Maturity progress (M0–M5);
Clause overrides and quorum-based mutations;
Forking and derivative works;
Retirement and archival in sovereign node systems.

2. Legacy contributors of retired clauses shall retain attribution in metadata and revenue eligibility if:

The clause contributed materially to a derivative;
Simulation fork preserves ≥50% original logic or contributors;
Attribution is DACI ≥ 0.85.

3. Institutional or sovereign reissuance of clauses must preserve prior contributor attributions unless formal override occurs through SEIC arbitration and quorum consent.

§18.2.6 Simulation-Based Attribution Audits

1. All attribution claims must be verifiable through simulation replays. This includes:

Matching SID with contributor timestamps and role execution logs;
Validation against simulation maturity and replay output consistency;
ClauseCommons metadata consistency audit.

2. Track I (Research), Track III (Policy), and Track V (Civic) nodes may initiate audits if:

Attribution is challenged;
Disputes arise over licensing revenue;
Multiple conflicting simulation records exist.

3. Audit results must be made public and incorporated into ClauseCommons Attribution Amendment Logs (CAALs).

4. Non-reproducible attribution claims are automatically voided after 60 days unless appealed.

§18.2.7 Attribution in Commons Revenue Distribution

1. Attribution Scores directly determine:

Percentage share in Commons Treasury redistribution;
Tier assignment for licensing entitlements (Open/Dual/Restricted);
Revenue distribution from clause reuse, sovereign license fees, and Track IV instruments.

2. ClauseCommons enforces Revenue Distribution Protocols (RDPs) that allocate disbursements using:

Revenue Share = (ASW × DACI) ÷ Sum(All Contributor Weighted Scores)

3. Payment transparency is enforced through real-time publishing of Clause-Based Financial Logs (CBFLs) on Track IV dashboards.

4. Institutional contributors may nominate fiduciary agents for fund receipt, subject to conflict of interest review.

§18.2.8 Attribution Governance Dispute Mechanisms

1. Disputes regarding attribution must be resolved through:

Filing a ClauseCommons Attribution Challenge Token (CACT);
Submitting SID replay logs and role evidence;
Participating in Track V Civic Review and SEIC arbitration.

2. SEIC shall issue binding recommendations within 30 days unless extended for cross-jurisdictional review.

3. Track V must publish summary of all resolved and pending attribution disputes quarterly.

4. Bad-faith challenges (≥2 infractions in 12 months) may result in penalty clauses including credential demotion or suspension.

§18.2.9 Attribution and Licensing Tier Entitlements

1. Attribution Score influences eligibility for clause licensing tiers:

Tier

DACI Threshold

Contributor Requirement

Open

≥0.85

Full attribution public

Dual

≥0.90

Credentialed co-licensing

Restricted

≥0.95

Simulation-certified financial clause

2. High attribution scores (top 15%) grant early access to clause forks, test scenarios, and new simulation engines.

3. Track IV and ClauseCommons License Boards reserve the right to adjust tier eligibility quarterly based on DACI volatility and revenue fairness reviews.

§18.2.10 Attribution and Global Knowledge Registries

1. All finalized clause attributions must be registered in:

Nexus Commons Ledger (NCL);
WIPO-Compatible Attribution Registry (WCAR);
GRIX Simulation Index (for treaty-aligned and sovereign use clauses).

2. These registries must support:

Persistent identifiers (DOI, UUID, CID, SID);
Open citation formats (Crossref, DataCite);
FAIR/CARE compliance for Indigenous or local contributors.

3. Failure to register within 30 days of clause maturity (M3+) delays licensing, capital eligibility, and treaty use.

4. Track III and Nexus Diplomacy delegates are authorized to submit attribution records for ratification in multilateral databases or treaty repositories.
