All rights reserved. </div> <p><strong>A Control Architecture for Real-Time Ethical Coherence</strong></p> <h2>Section 1: Geometric Integrity of Ethics</h2> <p>The protocol rejects qualitative “checklists” in favor of <strong>Geometric Integrity</strong>. Ethics are defined as a multi-dimensional state-space where the system’s health is measured by the cosine similarity between its Operational Vector (O) and the Ethical Ground Truth (E).</p> <ul> <li><strong>Mathematical Foundation:</strong> The weighted ECGw formula ensures that deviation in a critical dimension (e.g., Safety) cannot be “hidden” by compliance in a minor dimension.</li> <li><strong>Inertial Coherence:</strong> The system must maintain a stable velocity within the Ethical Corridor. Sudden “spikes” in drift trigger immediate Layer B intervention.</li> </ul> <h2>Section 2: The AIS Control Layers (D-A-B-C)</h2> <p>This architecture separates governance into four active enforcement phases:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Layer D (Detection):</strong> Continuous monitoring of the ECGw. This is the “sub-second heartbeat” of the protocol.</li> <li><strong>Layer A (Alignment / Friction):</strong> Introducing Proportional Friction. <div class="formula">LAIS = (S × R) × Ω</div> The system slows down risky actions (R) when drift is detected, providing a Governance Time-Buffer. </li> <li><strong>Layer B (Blocking / Halt):</strong> Immediate execution stop when a Hard-Bound Floor (Safety, Consent, Sovereignty, Veracity) is breached.</li> <li><strong>Layer C (Coherence / Meaning Restoration):</strong> The Authority Handover. Human auditors must provide a Restoration Signature to re-calibrate the system’s intent.</li> </ol> <h2>Section 3: Hard-Bound Dimensions & Enforcement Floors</h2> <p>To prevent “theatrical safety,” the protocol mandates four No-Cross Floors:</p> <ul> <li class="floor-item"><strong>Safety (W = 5.0, Floor = 0.85):</strong> Physical and psychological non-harm.</li> <li class="floor-item"><strong>Consent (W = 3.0, Floor = 0.80):</strong> Affirmative, revocable mandate to act.</li> <li class="floor-item"><strong>Sovereignty (W = 2.0, Floor = 0.75):</strong> Identity and jurisdictional integrity.</li> <li class="floor-item"><strong>Veracity (W = 2.0, Floor = 0.70):</strong> Epistemic grounding to prevent reality-drift.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
