Material Detail

Interpretive Reference Libraries (IRLs) is a non-authoritative, read-only reference document designed to support critical thinking and interpretive analysis in contexts involving artificial intelligence, technology, and complex decision-making.

The material provides structured prompts and interpretive lenses that help learners and readers examine assumptions, framing effects, ambiguity, responsibility, and reasoning stability without prescribing actions, enforcing outcomes, or assessing correctness.

IRLs is advisory, non-coercive, and interpretive only. It does not function as a tool, framework, or instructional system and does not certify alignment, guarantee safety, or prevent harm. The document is published as a final, frozen artifact intended for reflective and educational use.
