Every N-AALP object is a deterministically encoded CBOR structure signed with COSE, carrying under one signature its content identity, its originating signer, a closed effect label that is an authorization input rather than a hint, optional approval and audit bindings, and its causal derivation. Objects are transport- independent: the identical signed object is carried, with identical object-level guarantees, over the N-PAMP substrate, QUIC, WebSocket, or HTTP. N-AALP defines a frozen envelope, a post-quantum signature profile (ML-DSA with an optional Ed25519 hybrid), a self-certifying identity with key rotation, a single-use approval ledger, a hash- chained audit and causal- ordering model with a federated higher tier, native streaming with a single per-stream commitment, foreign- protocol carriage by class, and twenty tiered channel surfaces.
