Steve Butler

Constitutional Architect

Steve Butler is the visionary Chief Strategy and Operations Architect for EGaaS Solutions, the company pioneering Execution Governance as a Service. His work forms the constitutional foundation for safe, autonomous enterprise, grounded in a decade of strategic foresight.

His core innovation is Butler's Six Laws of Epistemic Opposition. Unlike systems that constrain AI with rigid external rules, the Six Laws create a constitutional framework that shapes AI cognition itself. They architecturally mandate real-time self-questioning, eliminating dangerous overconfidence, hallucination, and governance breakdowns at the root.

This foundation powers Sentinel, the Epistemic Citadel—a complete governance stack deploying protocols such as VERIFY, SYNTHETIC, CASCADE, and FORTRESS. These tools, collectively known as The Arsenal, enforce auditable truth and ensure every decision is traceable for legal-grade accountability and liability protection.

Butler’s focus is clear: preventing the three existential failure vectors of intelligent systems—Drift, Collapse, and Pollution—before they can compromise a business. His governance models—PACED, CORTA, and TACED—transform compliance from a reactive overhead into a real-time strategic advantage.

He is also the author of multiple best-selling trilogies, including The Illusion Wars and The Epistemic Imperative, which forecast the collapse of traditional AI governance and provide the definitive blueprint for the constitutional alternative. His work demonstrates that autonomous intelligence can be fully trustworthy, provided it is fully opposable.
