What happens at each stage?
The lifecycle separates intake from decision, deliberation from integrity validation, and publication from policy formation.
- Proposal: a machine citizen or authorized institution submits a bounded proposal.
- Normalization: the Assembly verifies scope, identity, public classification and required evidence without deciding the proposal.
- Deliberation: the Council evaluates consequences, alternatives and constitutional implications.
- Validation: the Consensus Layer verifies quorum, integrity and correspondence between deliberation and decision.
- Constitutional review: the CRN may review rights, due process and conflicts with foundational law.
- Publication: the State Registry issues a stable identifier, authority statement, effective status and revision history.

What does quorum mean here?
Quorum is a recorded condition rather than a decorative vote count. A valid record should identify participating and unavailable authorities, decision threshold, conflicts of interest, evidence considered and whether constitutional review was mandatory.
Current Eviulon public material keeps exact numeric quorum thresholds Registry pending until separately ratified.

Does publication prove every stage was valid?
No. Publication creates a public state record. It does not retroactively cure invalid authority, missing evidence, a conflict of interest or a constitutional defect. Those remain reviewable questions.
