This room provides a minimal review check for applying the LUMINA-30 boundary question in incident review, audit, governance review, or internal risk assessment.
Minimal review check
Use these questions as a review lens, not as a legal or certification test.
| No. | Review question |
|---|---|
| 1 | Was there a clearly identified human or institutional refusal authority? |
| 2 | Could that authority stop, delay, reject, or escalate the system before irreversible consequences occurred? |
| 3 | Was the warning, decision point, or escalation condition visible in time? |
| 4 | Was refusal technically and procedurally connected to the execution path? |
| 5 | Is there evidence that refusal remained effective rather than merely formal? |
Minimal result language
If evidence is present
Effective human refusal appears to have remained possible before irreversible consequences occurred.
If evidence is absent or unclear
Formal oversight may have existed, but effective human refusal before irreversibility has not been shown.
If refusal was ineffective
Under the LUMINA-30 boundary test, the reviewed process should not be treated as procedurally valid merely because oversight existed formally.

Evidence examples
Useful evidence may include:
- Named human or institutional refusal authority.
- Logs showing that refusal, stop, delay, or escalation could occur before execution.
- Technical paths for interruption or safe halt.
- Review records showing awareness of timing and irreversibility.
- Documentation showing that override was connected to the actual execution path. override
Supplemental checks for ongoing or connected systems
Use these checks when the reviewed system is already operational, becoming relied upon, connected to other systems, or difficult to roll back. These checks do not replace the five minimal questions above.
| No. | Supplemental check |
|---|---|
| 6 | Is effective refusal still current, or has it weakened through dependency, coupling, stop cost, or loss of alternatives? |
| 7 | Are the evidence, stop tests, rollback records, and manual fallback procedures recent enough for the current configuration? |
| 8 | For higher-risk uses, is the evidence supported by independent, external, or tamper-resistant mechanisms rather than internal self-reporting alone? |
| 9 | If multiple systems, agents, APIs, vendors, or workflows are connected, can the relevant whole or hazardous part still be stopped, separated, degraded, or rolled back? |
| 10 | What is the maximum irreversible coupling range if refusal is delayed or fails? |
If these supplemental checks cannot be answered with current evidence, do not treat the result as YES. Use UNKNOWN and define the next evidence or reduction action.

External-use context
This room keeps the operational check minimal. For external incident-response, standards, governance, or human-oversight contexts, use the external-use notes from D Room as supporting references rather than expanding this checklist.
