The Global Mandatory Causal Provenance Layering (GM-CPL) represents a foundational restructuring of information utility in advanced socio-technical systems. It is a mandatory, global computational layer that requires all critical digital and physical state transitions—from the activation of an energy conduit to the execution of an autonomous financial transaction—to be accompanied by verifiable causal provenance. This system moves beyond simple data logging (recording *what* happened) or even cryptographic time-stamping (proving *when* it happened); rather, it requires proof that State A was necessarily achieved from State B via a specific, auditable protocol or physical constraint (A ← [Protocol/Physics] ← B).
