Governance (Anti-Glamour, Change Control, Failure Modes)

Status: v1.0 — 2026-02-01

Safety Banner (Anti-Glamour)

This packet is designed to stay auditable and non-exploitable.

Hard bans:

  • destiny language and prophecy framing
  • entity-addressing or bargaining language
  • “anything asked of me” (unbounded submission)
  • guarantees or certainty theater
  • requests for privileged access (accounts, credentials, private data, device control)
  • Instrumentalizing vulnerable people (using care as signaling rather than duty)

Change-Control (boring on purpose)

Change types

  • Patch: clarity only
  • Revision: meaning change
  • Extension: new section/page

Minimum requirements for revisions

  • claims vs assumptions labeled
  • at least one failure mode stated
  • reversion rule applied if glamour/coercion risk increases

Reversion rule

If an edit increases glamour, coercion risk, or ambiguity: revert and document why.

Failure modes to keep visible

  • Containment-like drift: dignity invariants degrade while “safety” remains
  • Surveillance creep: monitoring expands until privacy disappears
  • Stagnation: “safe” becomes “static,” undermining full lives
  • Internal domination: inequality and abuse re-emerge inside the Reserve
  • Bargaining drift: the packet turns into a pitch or invocation

Downshift protocol

If urgency, obsession, or cosmic framing appears: Stop → Summarize → Shrink scope → One SSNS.
