**Evidence / Concept Status:** Canonical future architecture
## Definition
**Continuity Off-Ramp Architecture** is the legal and technical machinery by which a person can refuse, pause, downgrade, migrate, or terminate continuity without relying on provider discretion.
## Why It Matters for Deep Time Continuity
Off-ramps are essential because deep-time obligations can otherwise become involuntary custody.
## Existing Architecture / Evidence
Continuity Election, religious liberty, advance directives, portability, exit rights, and service cancellation supply components.
## Deep-Time Continuity Analysis
Off-ramps should specify financial consequences, data disposition, archival residue, and later reactivation rights.
## Evidentiary Boundary
An off-ramp may reduce public liability, but its existence is not evidence that it was created for fiscal avoidance.
