Mechanistic explanations operators and regulators can audit — the "why", not just the confidence.
The AI-Native S.M.A.R.T. Generator Master Blueprint — eight layers (L0→L7), one control stack, wired to both machines. Telemetry rises in microseconds; control descends the same path.

What it is
Methods that expose why a model decided as it did — feature attribution, concept-based explanations, and interpretable surrogate models — so an operator understands the reasoning and a regulator can inspect it.
The method
Attribution (integrated gradients / SHAP), concept-activation vectors, and distilled interpretable surrogates that track the black-box model.
Why it matters
Trust and licensing require explanation, not just accuracy. Plugs into L5/L6 — the copilots and the operator view.
