Governance and Oversight

Roles: authority, overseer, subject, check, review, accountability, transparency

The domain of directing and monitoring the exercise of power. Distinguished from governance alone by the emphasis on oversight mechanisms — the structures that watch the watchers, verify compliance, and hold authority accountable. Encompasses audit, review, separation of powers, and the recursive problem of who oversees the overseers.
