Governance Architecture for Human-Centered Social Coordination is the fifth paper in a broader research sequence examining structural strain, trust dynamics, technological transformation, and governance adaptation in modern societies. The paper develops a human-centered governance framework for preserving social continuity under increasing structural complexity. Rather than treating governance primarily as administrative control, the framework conceptualizes governance as an adaptive coordination architecture responsible for maintaining legitimacy, participation, trust, and long-term societal stability. Building on the previous papers: Paper 1 introduced the concept of cumulative structural strain across demographic, labor, and housing systems. Paper 2 developed trust as an emergent outcome of structural coordination. Paper 3 applied the framework to protest, conflict, and systemic instability. Paper 4 extended the framework to AI-era employment transformation and resident-centered coordination. This paper synthesizes the full framework into an institutional model centered on: governance as continuity preservation, law as adaptive social coordination, parliament as institutional intelligence, Distributed Adaptive Response Capacity (DARC), participation continuity as a structural governance function, and Governance Evaluation Matrix (GEM) as an operational evaluative framework. The paper further explores post-coercive governance as a long-term civilizational horizon, where legitimacy, transparency, participation, and institutional trust gradually reduce dependence on coercive enforcement. Core coordination sequence: Resource → Participation → Trust → Coordination → Stability → Development → Flourishing → Peace This preprint represents the current integrated synthesis of the broader coordination-based research program.
