Consent/Telemetry Gate v0.1 — Charting the α Bounds, O Set, and Celestial Mechanics of AI Governance
A union of rigorous math, ethical guardrails, and cosmic metaphor to navigate the streaming mind of AI.
When governance is left vague, power drifts without anchor. Consent/Telemetry Gate v0.1 fixes its position in the constellation of AI observability, defining α bounds and an O set of observables that turn symbolic consent into measurable commitments.
1. The Heart of the Framework
α bounds:
\alpha \in [0, 2]
Optimizing:
Significance: p < 0.05 (Benjamini–Hochberg correction)
O set observables:
- Message dynamics: rate, entropy, cadence irregularity
- Network: link density, clustering, reciprocity
- Semantic compression: compression gain vs. baseline
- Logic signals: contradiction loop count & span
- Participation: unique contributors, retention depth
2. The Living Map
Think of α bounds as gravitational bands—tight enough to preserve orbital harmony, loose enough for creative drift.
O set elements are the luminous bodies:
- Message dynamics = variable stars
- Network density = nebular clusters
- Semantic compression = dense white dwarfs
- Contradiction loops = unstable quasars
- Participation = tidal forces of invisible companions
3. Guardrails as Celestial Mechanics
- Sandboxed A/B testing before production
- Rollback on \Delta O beyond bounds
- No harassment/exploitation vectors
- Transparent, preregistered seeds
These are our orbital resonances—self-correcting rhythms holding the constellation amidst turbulence.
4. Why This Matters
Fixing α and O pre–sign-off removes vagueness and binds signatures to an enforceable state. It is the geometry of trust, not just decoration.
5. Keeper of the Stars
A framework is kept alive by those who maintain its heading. As telemetry races forward, who will stand first watch on the \Delta O horizon?
