Pausable Policy Design: Mathematical Frameworks for Interruptible Government AI Operations

Formalizing policy execution interruption and accountability under pause conditions for transparent municipal governance

Government policies can be difficult to halt once launched due to inertia, sunk costs, and diffuse accountability. This paper introduces Pausable Policy Design, a mathematical framework that treats policy interruption as a first-class operation, with accountability requirements intended to prevent both premature termination and indefinite continuation of ineffective programs.

Conflict Visualization vs Integration: A Comparative Experiment on Decision Regret and Correction Rate

Empirical comparison across 1,200 decisions in three organizations

Should governance systems resolve conflicts before human review, or surface conflicts explicitly for human judgment? This paper reports a controlled comparison between Conflict Integration (CI), which resolves conflicts algorithmically before presentation, and Conflict Visualization (CV), which presents conflicts with supporting evidence. Across 1,200 decisions in three organizations, CV reduced decision regret by 34%, increased correction rate by 2.8x, and improved reviewer confidence by 28%.
