- Abstract: As autonomous agentic systems scale across regulated critical infrastructures, the lack of mechanistic, hardware-rooted enforcement for high-frequency policy updates presents a fundamental safety gap. We introduce Ethical Hyper-Velocity (EHV), a novel architectural framework for the formal verification of AI governance policies at runtime. Unlike retrospective auditing frameworks (ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF) which introduce 14-30 day latencies, EHV relocates the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) into the inference pipeline via a Governance-Aware Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler. By integrating Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) for policy synchronization and Epoch-based Attestation Caching within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), EHV achieves Sub-millisecond Formal Determinism (SMFD). We demonstrate via TLA+ formal verification that non-compliant agentic actions are computationally unreachable within the system's bounded operating state space. We prove that O(1) runtime enforcement can eliminate the traditional trade-off between deployment velocity and governance integrity, reducing Governance Latency from O(days) to O(1).
