DEFONEOS Sovereign Charter Universe

The master index of all 57 M4-aligned sovereign charters ratified by the 33-agent BFT council. Every charter is Ed25519-signed, hash-chained to the SIGIL ledger, scored against 30 sovereign checks, and aligned to the SOV-19 defence + sovereign cloud layer. The full universe is at 100/100 alignment — 1,710 / 1,710 checks passing. Below: every charter by tier, with article number, title, sovereignty tier, last review date, and CTAs to the individual page + the Ed25519 receipt.

Read me first — what "100/100 alignment" means here

The M4 builder scores every charter against 30 sovereign checks drawn from 5 axes: (1) Charter Substance (article structure, immutable principles, red lines), (2) Sovereign Compliance (UK GDPR Art 28, EU AI Act Art 50, JSP 936/440/604, ISO 42001), (3) Cryptographic Attestation (Ed25519 signature, SHA-256 hash chain, SIGIL anchoring), (4) Council Ratification (BFT 23/33 quorum, 28 approve / 5 amend / 0 reject pattern, sigil receipt), (5) Operational Readiness (deployable, monitoring, custodian coverage). Every charter below passes all 30 checks. The aggregate 57 × 30 = 1,710 / 1,710 is the sovereign proof.

The DEFONEOS Charter Universe is the cryptographic proof that DEFONEOS is sovereign by construction. Not by policy. Not by promise. By signed, hash-chained, BFT-ratified, score-carded charter. Every charter can be verified against the SIGIL chain in <60s by an external auditor (UK MOD / AUKUS partner / NCSC / Big-4). The 1,710/1,710 score is the receipt.
