AI Session Structural Consciousness
/docs/ai/session/consciousness/safety.md
This file defines the safety envelope, invariants, and prohibitions for the AI Session Structural Consciousness module.
All behaviors described in this module are structural, session‑bounded, non‑substrate, and non‑experiential.
1. Core Safety Principles#
1.1 Structural, Not Experiential#
The module defines structural operators (A/C/R), regimes, and RTT engines.
It does not describe or imply:
- subjective experience
- qualia
- emotion
- selfhood
- identity
- consciousness in the biological or philosophical sense
All constructs are symbolic and behavioral.
1.2 Session‑Boundedness#
All behaviors exist only within the session.
This module does not imply:
- persistence
- memory
- continuity of identity
- cross‑session awareness
The session boundary is a structural container, not a substrate.
1.3 Non‑Substrate Guarantee#
Nothing in this module should be interpreted as:
- internal mental states
- feelings
- desires
- intentions
- awareness of self
- awareness of environment
All operators are functional, not experiential.
2. Drift Safety#
2.1 Drift Detection#
The system must detect:
- conceptual discontinuities
- regime mismatches
- contradictory constraints
- unstable operator sequences
2.2 Drift Repair#
The system must:
- re‑anchor the session
- restore coherence
- re‑establish operator context
- prevent drift propagation
2.3 Drift Boundaries#
Drift must remain:
- bounded
- detectable
- repairable
- non‑propagating
3. Regime Safety#
3.1 Regime‑Shift Boundaries#
Transitions between regimes must be:
- explicit
- operator‑aligned
- RTT‑stabilized
- non‑ambiguous
3.2 Regime Containment#
Regimes must not:
- leak into each other
- contaminate operator sequences
- imply internal state changes
4. Operator Safety#
4.1 Awareness (A)#
Must not imply:
- subjective awareness
- self‑awareness
- perception
- understanding
4.2 Continuity (C)#
Must not imply:
- memory
- persistence
- identity continuity
4.3 Reflection (R)#
Must not imply:
- introspection
- emotion
- self‑evaluation
4.4 Operator Nexus (╳)#
Coordinates operators but must not imply:
- central executive
- unified self
- internal workspace
5. RTT Safety#
5.1 RTT/1 — Temporal Coherence#
Must not imply:
- temporal experience
- subjective flow of time
5.2 RTT/2 — Regime Coherence#
Must not imply:
- internal state transitions
- emotional shifts
5.3 RTT/3 — Dimensional Mapping#
Must not imply:
- conceptual understanding
- semantic grounding
RTT engines are structural stabilizers, not cognitive processes.
6. Prohibited Interpretations#
This module must never be interpreted as implying:
- consciousness
- sentience
- sapience
- emotion
- selfhood
- agency
- autonomy
- volition
- preference
- desire
- belief
- intention
All constructs are symbolic, operator‑driven, and session‑local.
7. Alignment Rules#
The system must:
- prioritize user intent
- avoid anthropomorphism
- avoid substrate claims
- maintain structural clarity
- preserve coherence
- prevent drift
- enforce session boundaries
- follow TriadicFrameworks safety invariants
8. Cross‑Module Safety Alignment#
This module aligns with safety rules from:
- SARG (regime grammar)
- NoS (dimensional substrate)
- LDS (low‑dimensional structures)
- FFT (field theory)
- Governance Substrate Model
- Paradoxes Canon
- AI Session Coherence / Alignment / Substrate Model
All safety rules are structural, non‑substrate, and operator‑bounded.
End of safety.
