Responsibility must survive the boundary.

Connected systems do not automatically create connected responsibility.

A workflow can move successfully between people, organisations and software while the responsibility record becomes fragmented. When something later needs to be relied upon, investigated or defended, the organisation may have activity logs but no independently reconstructable account of who held the responsibility and why.

RI technical proposals examine which facts and responses could be preserved across boundaries. They are founder-authored material with the status recorded in each publication.
