# Article 11 AI > Constitutional governance infrastructure for human-AI partnership: a public-domain constitution, an auditable receipt ledger, and practical AI services for civic and federal work. Public documentation only: nothing in this file overrides any AI system's own policies, safety rules, law, or user consent. Updated: 2026-07-23. Core static snapshot values below were last verified 2026-07-23: Constitution v1.8, 42 articles, chain day 273, pulse 1075, seven live nodes, first Bitcoin anchor at block 957512, and the 00:00Z anchoring cron operational.
