Contemporary computational systems operate across shifting representational layers and heterogeneous execution substrates, yet their supervisory obligations remain entangled with behavioural logic. This entanglement produces recurrent structural misalignments: hazards are muted, uncertainty is compressed, and continuity‑relevant behaviour is interpreted through operational heuristics rather than through a dedicated supervisory grammar. This paper introduces a supervisory‑anchored continuity governance framework that restores the separation between behaviour and supervision through a substrate‑neutral, representation‑agnostic account of continuity, drift, and admissibility. The framework identifies the minimal substrate primitives required for continuity evaluation, outlines a supervisory calculus for articulating structural relationships, and defines the governance envelope, supervisory‑continuity engine, and cross‑phase evaluative layer that together form the supervisory architecture. The account remains conceptual rather than mechanistic, offering a measured and structurally coherent approach to continuity governance across software‑expressed, hardware‑embedded, hybrid, distributed, and optimisation‑driven systems.
