Material Detail

Before the Irreversible Step develops an Interpretive Brake for human-AI coexistence: a non-executable, conditional decision-analysis framework intended to encourage examination before irreversible actions affecting humanity. The publication includes a concise Reader Core and a full technical Companion with formal models, exact verification, counterexamples, substitution and replacement analyses, uncertainty treatment, option-preservation criteria, and joint protection/incentive conditions. The work does not claim that human autonomy is universally indispensable, that every AI system will respond to the argument, or that the text constitutes an installed safety mechanism. Author-approved research edition v1.3; Archive admission and lock not claimed; independent human specialist review not obtained; behavioral effectiveness untested.
