When these rules change, every prior finding stays legible against the rules it was actually made under.\n\n## Provenance of these rules\n\nDeclared provenance: **external-statutory**. These rules restate the reading discipline for Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The provision text adjudicated against is the Union's, not this operator's, which is what makes a finding under this rule set bind harder than one under self-authored rules.\n\nA reader who does not trust this operator can price a finding by this field alone: rules written elsewhere bind harder than rules written by the party who benefits from the finding.\n\n## Question\n\nUnder the cited provision of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act), does the stated obligation apply to the described system as characterised?\n\n## Rules\n\n1. Read only the provision text supplied. Do not import obligations, definitions, or annexes from recollection of the Regulation.\n2. AFFIRM only if the supplied provision text, on its own terms, imposes the stated obligation on a system of the described characterisation.\n3. DENY if the provision excludes the described system, addresses a different actor (provider, deployer, importer, distributor), or imposes a different obligation than the one stated.\n4. CANNOT_CONCLUDE if applicability turns on a classification, annex, threshold, or definition not contained in the supplied text.\n5. Distinguish the addressee. An obligation on providers is not an obligation on deployers.\n6. Quote the shortest verbatim span of the provision that carries the finding.\n\n## Permitted verdicts\n\n`AFFIRM` · `DENY` · `CANNOT_CONCLUDE`. Abstention is first class: a panel that cannot conclude says so, and that recorded absence is itself evidence rather than a silent null.\n\n## Content hash\n\nThe canonical form is the JSON object `{id, version, question, rules, verdicts}` with no whitespace. SHA-256:\n\n`0dd9afef93503a92280c90869eaf6a5a13ee508b2ec3506045f1803bce1a4d3c`\n\nRecompute it from the canonical form below and compare. A finding that names a different hash was made under different rules.\n\n```json\n{\"id\":\"ruleset-eu-ai-act-obligation\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"question\":\"Under the cited provision of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act), does the stated obligation apply to the described system as characterised?\",\"rules\":[\"Read only the provision text supplied.

No code was deployed to add them and adding another model is one more row. Every finding records the model, the rule set hash, the quoted span, the exposure (`independent` when the adjudicator saw no other finding, `concurring` when it did), the ordering seed, and a signature. A mandatory recorded adversary argues the strongest honest case against the majority and is published whether it prevails or not.\n\nAdjudicator rows: https://miscsubjects.com/api/directory/ADJUDICATE_KIMI · https://miscsubjects.com/api/directory/ADJUDICATE_GROK · https://miscsubjects.com/api/directory/ADJUDICATE_GLM · ht","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[],"sources":[],"anecdotal_sources":[],"scientific_sources":[],"user_reports":[],"related_articles":[],"question_graph":{"slug":"ruleset-eu-ai-act-obligation","questions":[],"evidence":[],"edges":[],"counts":{"questions":0,"evidence":0,"edges":0}},"honesty":{"active_claims":0,"retracted_claims":0,"cut_claims":0,"challenges":0,"scrub_events":0,"note":"Retracted/cut claims stay on ledger but are excluded from ask unless ?include_inactive=1"},"counts":{"claims":0,"claims_total":0,"sources":0,"anecdotal":0,"scientific":0,"user_reports":0,"questions":0,"evidence_ingests":0}}
