Physical Non-Portability of AI Authorization Credentials: From the No-Cloning Theorem to Deployable Post-Quantum Enforcement

The security of AI authorization systems has long rested on a single guarantee: cryptographic non-forgeability. This paper introduces the concept of physical non-portability of AI authorization credentials as a deployable security primitive achievable today using existing silicon. We define physical non-portability formally, distinguish it from cryptographic non-forgeability, and describe the architectural properties required to enforce it below the software stack on current hardware. We establish that hardware-enforced physical non-portability delivers the same security guarantee that the no-cloning theorem targets, without requiring quantum hardware. This work is grounded in the Y.I.N. Mazari Architecture patent portfolio (41 filings, 4,514 claims, priority November 23, 2025).
