# Due Process
**Entity class:** Legal, Policy, Privacy, And Analytic-Limits Layer concept
**Due Process** is a concept in the legal, policy, privacy, and analytic-limits of the counterterrorism predictive-graph ontology. Within a predictive graph, Due Process helps separate recorded evidence from the hidden state inferred from that evidence.
## Counterterrorism predictive-graph role
Its controls are part of the computational trust fabric, not peripheral paperwork: permissions, provenance, purpose, and auditability must remain machine-enforceable across systems. The analytic state should distinguish ground truth, observed evidence, inferred state, and predicted state.
