Published work, with provenance intact.

The ledger separates the foundational corporate-governance publication from a later, author-led research extension. Both are published studies; the second is not presented as an independent citation.

Orbital intelligence and the knightian Void: A Graduated Governance Model for Autonomous AI in Cosmic Exploration, Grounded in the P.A.L.O. Framework

Political Science International, Volume 4, Issue 1, pages 1–20. Published 22 May 2026. ISSN 2995-326X.

The paper develops the Graduated Cosmic Ethics model as an extension of PALO and adds seven cosmic KPIs for autonomous AI in space exploration.

Provenance boundary: this extension is authored by Fabrizio Degni. It is published downstream research, not an independent citation of PALO.
