PairingAsPermission is the access-control model used in Totebox Orchestration: a cryptographic pairing between two nodes is the permission, and the absence of a pairing makes the connection structurally impossible — not access-denied, but no pathway. There is no central access-control list, no permission lookup at request time, and no role table. The model is the formally proven Object Capability pattern, deployed in production at Fuchsia OS, seL4, and WireGuard. PairingAsPermission is canonical in the workspace; synonyms RBAC, ACL, and PermissionSystem are explicitly rejected.
