Models may change; the boundaries of an action must not change with them. ## Semantic classification | Class | Public classification | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Already established semantics | Context is not permission; model capability is not authority; receipt is not verification; personal and institutional continuity remain separate. | | Externally supported rationale | Conceptual material supports the focus on human agency, durable institutions, and replaceable models. It is rationale, not UNITERA authority. | | New adoption candidates | The unified Human Agency and Model Sovereignty framing and its coherent public narrative. | | Open gaps | Formal adoption of the complete framing and full portability, recovery, and end-to-end qualification. | The external rationale was derived from a supplied automatic transcript of the public podcast episode [“KI-Star Armin Ronacher: KI ist geil – aber die Blase wird platzen”](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/ki-star-armin-ronacher-ki-ist-geil-aber-die-blase-wird/id1896588425?i=1000787286885). Episode metadata was resolved; inherited transcript anchors were not independently rechecked. ## Human Agency People set goals, boundaries, and binding decisions. Institutions define the rules for their area of responsibility. AI assists within those boundaries. ```mermaid flowchart LR H["Human"] -->|"sets goals and boundaries"| I["Institution"] I -->|"bounds use"| C["AI capability"] C -->|"returns proposals"| H ``` > **Conceptual public projection — not deployment, service, repository, protocol or security topology.** ## The core loop KNOW provides purpose-bound context. THINK analyzes and proposes. Govern checks whether effect is permitted. ACT performs only an authorized effect. PROVE separates execution evidence from outcome verification. ```mermaid flowchart LR R["Reality"] -->|"observe"| K["KNOW"] K -->|"context"| T["THINK"] T -->|"proposal"| G["Govern"] G -->|"authorized action"| A["ACT"] A -->|"effect"| P["PROVE"] P -->|"verified result"| R ``` > **Conceptual public projection — not deployment, service, repository, protocol or security topology.** ## Personal and institutional boundary The Personal Realm preserves personal continuity. The Company Brain holds governed institutional context. Movement between them is a deliberate, purpose-bound act, not automatic inheritance. ```mermaid flowchart LR P["Personal Realm"] -->|"explicit contribution"| B["Boundary review"] B -->|"admitted context"| C["Company Brain"] C -.->|"no silent transfer back"| P ``` > **Conceptual public projection — not deployment, service, repository, protocol or security topology.** ## Governed Effect Model output is a proposal. Binding effect arises only after a separate authority check and remains reviewable through evidence and verification. ```mermaid flowchart LR M["Model output"] -->|"proposal"| D["Decision boundary"] D -->|"authorized"| E["Bounded effect"] E -->|"Receipt"| V["Verification"] D -->|"not authorized"| N["No effect"] ``` > **Conceptual public projection — not deployment, service, repository, protocol or security topology.** ## Resume Continuity Resume means restoring traceable working context. It neither reactivates prior permission nor creates new authority. ```mermaid flowchart LR S["Retained context"] -->|"restore"| R["Resume"] R -->|"re-evaluate"| G["Current boundaries"] G -->|"continue"| W["Traceable work"] G -->|"not permitted"| X["Stop or ask"] ``` > **Conceptual public projection — not deployment, service, repository, protocol or security topology.** ## Claim boundary This page exposes architectural principles and new adoption candidates. It does not adopt invariants, activate governance, grant capabilities, or create runtime or production effects. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://unitera.gitbook.io/unitera-docs/docs/en/architecture/human-agency-and-model-sovereignty.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
