# Welcome to SVRNOS Research

> Open research infrastructure for AI governance.

SVRNOS publishes open research artifacts for the AI governance layer. This site is the canonical per-code register of the **Governance Error Register**: every code, its definition, its Distinct-From boundaries, and its contributors. The papers live on the main site.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="GER" icon="list-ol" href="/ger">
    The **Governance Error Register**. A classification system for AI platform governance failures, modeled on HTTP status codes. 110 codes across seven architectural layers, anchored to documented events from the AI Incident Database.
  </Card>

  <Card title="7-Layer Model" icon="layer-group" href="https://svrnos.com/research/svrnos-7-layer-model">
    The **SVRNOS 7-Layer Model**. An OSI-inspired stack map for AI governance, L1 (compute substrate) through L7 (application enforcement). Published June 2026 on the main site.
  </Card>

  <Card title="NCSA" icon="signature" href="https://svrnos.com/research/non-content-safety-attestation">
    The **Non-Content Safety Attestation** specification. A signed procedural receipt proving governance ran, with no conversation content inside it. v0.2 published June 2026 on the main site.
  </Card>

## What this site is for

You arrived here because something happened with an AI system. Or because you're an operator filing an event report. Or a regulator drafting enforcement language. Or a journalist trying to compare two failures across vendors. Or a researcher looking for a shared vocabulary.

The Governance Error Register exists so all those people can use the same words to describe the same failures.

  <Card title="Find the code that fits your case" icon="magnifying-glass" href="/ger/find">
    Start with the lookup tool. Symptom picker, case search, or filter by sector — narrows 110 codes to the 3-5 that match.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Browse all codes" icon="grid" href="/ger/browse">
    Flat index of every code, sorted by tier. For when you already know what you're looking for.

## Authoritative source

The GER is published under CC BY 4.0. Every code carries a citable permalink. Versioned releases get a Zenodo DOI.

The paper version (`v0.2`) lives at [svrnos.com/research/governance-error-register](https://svrnos.com/research/governance-error-register). This site is the working registry — updated continuously, cited per-code.

## How to use this site

* **Cite a code**: every code page has a citation block ready to copy
* **Propose a code or refinement**: [hello@svrnos.com](mailto:hello@svrnos.com) or [svrnos.com/ask](https://svrnos.com/ask)
* **Report an event**: SVRNOS doesn't host an event corpus — we map against the [AI Incident Database](https://incidentdatabase.ai) (AIID). Submit events there
