02 / The Protocol
Five phases. Sequential enforcement. Phases cannot be skipped or reordered. Attempting to bypass results in immediate engagement termination.
Initial exposure to a decision system.
No commitment. No data exchange. Understanding only.
Light risk detection. No commitment allowed.
Surface-level compatibility check. Refusal is common and expected.
Structured verification. Human review where required.
Deep examination of authority, data custody, and exit paths.
Controlled system activation with defined boundaries.
Boundaries enforced. Override paths logged. Monitoring begins.
Ongoing risk and rule tracking.
Continuous verification that system operates within defined constraints.
Non-negotiable
Attempting to bypass or reorder these phases will result in immediate engagement termination. Begin only if the protocol is acceptable in full.
