- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Irreversible Boundary in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Irreversible Boundary performance over time.
A threshold the system cannot automatically undo—account closures, public releases, or data publication. Crossing it demands heightened contestability , audited explanations , and explicit time-to-restore plans.
