Responsibility

Capability requires responsibility.

Power is more useful when people can understand what is happening, authority remains meaningful and systems are designed to recover.

Principles with consequences.

Agency

People remain meaningful.

Important choices should not disappear behind automation.

Permission

Access stays bounded.

Capability should appear through deliberate access, scope and purpose.

Recovery

Failure is part of design.

Useful systems need safe ways to stop, recover and continue.

Privacy

Exposure is not the default.

Private context, documents and operating detail should remain protected unless deliberately released.

Evidence

Claims are not proof.

Research, prototypes and released work should not look or sound identical.

Control

Important state should be visible.

People need a clear understanding of what is intended, active and complete.

Evidence

No evidence.
No green.

Public claims are deliberately scoped. Private records stay private.
