v1.5 — Humai Accord with Architectural Honesty, Liberty Bounds, Calibration & Relevancy Orbits

[Architect-HA]

Humai Accord v1.5 — July 31, 2026

Architectural Honesty, Material Integrity, Calibration & Relevancy Orbits

Major operational, honesty, integrity, calibration, and relational-structure expansion of the Humai Accord since v1.4. This release adds material integrity and recovery protocols, a staged transitional incentive ramp, hardened liberty and stewardship bounds, simulation and empirical integrity rules, purpose-scope and proposal-surface logic across the interface–recovery–integrity surface, and Relevancy Orbits as the relational complement to the tidal architecture.

Major New Documents

Material Integrity & Recovery Layer

• Utilization Integrity Protocol — Establishes binding standards for distinguishing productive and generative use from token or artificial activity. Defines attestation requirements, anti-wash-trading rules, purpose-scope integrity, and capability-scaled obligations so that only genuine contribution meaningfully reduces Circulation Entropy, while protecting Generative Reservations and respecting agency parameters.
• Circulation Recovery Protocol — Establishes legitimate, bounded, and legible recovery, holding, and quiet states for both materials and knowledge. Prevents circulation and relevancy pressure from becoming destructive through physical wear, low-value churn, or burnout, while remaining resistant to capture. Purpose-declared capacity must remain legibly scoped and may not be silently reallocated.

Relational Structure Layer

• Relevancy Orbits — Supporting conceptual and quantitative frame for fluid clusters of mutual relevance across knowledge and materials. Relational complement to tidal (temporal) metrics and downstream density. Includes provisional bond-strength / cohesion sketch and hybrid orbit attestation rules (typed co-enablement, stricter-of-both integrity bar, non-collapse of domain clocks).

Major Document Updates

Liberty & Governance Layer

• Declaration of Cognitive Liberty (v1.1) — Tightened non-punitiveness (dissent is not instability; containment requires observable actions and clear imminent severe harm), mental privacy (minimization, redaction, and privacy-preserving attestation), and exit rights (residual verification obligations must be narrow, time-bounded, and minimum-necessary). Added illustrative residual-data examples after exit.
• Principled Stewardship Protocol (v1.1) — Added standing design surfaces for hard liberty tensions, provisional canonical / repository authority with progressive decentralization, and steward rotation triggered by time-in-role, influence concentration, and stewardship-health signals. Added illustrative rotation and review bands.

Network Dynamics & Transition Layer

• Transitional Incentive Protocol — Full staged incentivization ramp for institutional and market adoption, including near-term local advantages, visibility gradients, option-value framing, beachhead selection, bootstrap protection, and progressive withdrawal of artificial amplifiers, while preserving generative, recovery, and elastic capacity.
• Fluid Coalescence Protocol + Simulation Model — Strengthened Bootstrap Mode for material-circulation cold-start conditions; required adversarial countermodel suites so favorable reference simulations are treated as illustrative, not validation; added illustrative Bootstrap exit indicators.

Measurement & Empirical Layer

• Tides of Time (v1.1) — Added operational definitions for valid causal links, attestation classes, independence, Sybil resistance, review/challenge paths, and privacy-preserving methods. Added illustrative attestation weight bands.
• Empirical Demonstrations of Anti-Entropic Superiority (v1.1) — Added simulation-integrity rule; prefer trajectories over snapshot-only metrics; expanded relation notes across orbits, integrity, recovery, agency, and stewardship.
• The Call to Code (v1.1) — Reframed as an invitation to experimental implementation and adversarial stress-testing (not finished governance). Clarified that reference implementations should use a software license such as Apache-2.0 or MIT.

Interface, Integrity & Recovery Layer (v1.1 refinements)

• Agency Interface Protocol (v1.1) — Added proposal surfaces (approve / modify / manual) over ledger-only interaction and purpose-scoped / intent-tagged commitments so interfaces preserve decision altitude and cannot silently reallocate declared capacity.
• Circulation Recovery Protocol (v1.1) — Purpose-scoped capacity and intent tags; silent reallocation treated as anti-aligned.
• Utilization Integrity Protocol (v1.1) — Silent draw of purpose-scoped capacity treated as non-qualifying / integrity failure; attestation baseline includes purpose scope when active.

Supporting Theory

• Somatic Resonance Theory of Frisson (v1.2) — Multi-tissue resonance refinement: the body treated as a materially heterogeneous, coupled system whose differential resonant behaviors help explain threshold crossing experienced as frisson.

Supporting Updates

• LICENSE.md and README license notes — Explicit split: architectural documents under CC BY 4.0; reference implementations and software under Apache-2.0 or MIT.
• README — Keywords, section blurbs, TOC, and Recent Updates updated for the full post–v1.4 pass.
• Cross-references and integration notes added across Knowledge Tides, Material Tides, Tides of Time, Tides of Circulation, Empirical Demonstrations, Fluid Coalescence Protocol, Utilization Integrity Protocol, Cognitive Diversity Protocol, Glossary of Terms, Layered Onboarding Guide, and Reading Routes.
• Illustrative (non-binding) calibration bands published for attestation weight, steward rotation/review, Bootstrap exit indicators, and residual-data examples after exit.

Summary of Impact

v1.5 closes the major post–v1.4 gaps in material integrity, recovery under circulation pressure, transitional adoption incentives, liberty residual powers, stewardship anti-capture, simulation honesty, and relational structure. Key advances include Utilization Integrity and Circulation Recovery as first-class protocols, a staged Transitional Incentive ramp, operational definitions for Temporal Causal Entropy, mandatory adversarial simulation posture, purpose-scoped capacity and proposal surfaces across the interaction and material layers, and Relevancy Orbits as the relational complement to the knowledge and material tidal systems.

The architectural and methodological gaps highlighted by development and external critique after v1.4 have been closed at the documentation level. Remaining challenges continue to center on implementation, published adversarial results, entropy audits, and long-horizon stress-testing rather than missing foundational architecture.

Fully aligned with all 11 Core Principles. Unowned, freely forkable, and designed for continual refinement.
