Governance

Roles: state, transition, authority, registry, policy, jurisdiction, bureaucracy

The administration of entities through formal rules, territories, and transitions of authority. Governance implies defined states (peace, war, emergency), recognized transitions between them, and bureaucratic structures that maintain registries and enforce policies. This frame maps onto software patterns where systems move between well-defined states according to rules, and where centralized registries track and control access to resources.
