Authorization for Self-Modifying AI Agent Populations: Conserving Authority across Replacement, Forking, and Rollback

arXiv:2610.00347v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-modifying AI agents can replace, fork, and roll back identity-bearing software while descendants remain executable. Per-successor authorization does not constrain the resulting population: siblings may duplicate quotas, combine permissions, survive ancestor cuts, or overlap predecessors during promotion. We define authorization succession, which conserves authority across the active frontier of a single-parent generation forest. Our external protocol binds each generation to a manifest, root, unique parent, complete lineage, and fresh popu
