Alice · the authority layer inside Nexus
Data
Classification is the first thing Alice reads and the one thing a requester cannot lower. Nexus classes map to the Alice control-plane levels L1–L4; the sovereignty rule follows from the level.
Classification
| Nexus class | Alice level | Meaning | Sovereign execution required | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PUBLIC | L1 | Published or public material. | no | regulatory guidance · public breach notices · job postings |
| INTERNAL | L2 | Internal business content without patient information. | no | staffing data · committee memos · schedules |
| PHI | L3 | Personal health information (PHIPA) / protected health information (HIPAA). | yes | charts · discharge summaries · lab results |
| REGULATED | L4 | Regulated data with additional statutory handling requirements. | yes | research consent records · restricted registries |
Rules
- L3 and L4 data may never be sent to an external (cloud) model — the kernel's data-sovereignty rule, mirrored by DEMO-POL-001.
- Classification is declared by the workflow and can only be escalated by detected signals, never lowered by the requester.
- Residency is recorded on every receipt: hospital-controlled infrastructure in Canada, or an external provider.
- No prompt, response, or patient content is stored on a receipt; governance metadata only.

Alice on this site runs over the synthetic Lakeview General Hospital environment. Verdicts, checks, and receipts are computed by the Nexus decision engine on synthetic requests; nothing here is a customer, a patient, or a production deployment. Signed-in organizations see their own agents, decisions, and receipts.
