Caring
constructadapted
ClaimCaring is a normative orientation governing how the machine relates to the human, in Mayeroff's (1971) specific structural sense: non-possessive, growth-oriented, responsive to actual needs, voluntary engagement.
This claim fails if
If Mayeroff's structural requirements can be shown to permit exploitation when translated into engineering constraints, the translation is flawed.
A normative orientation governing how the machine relates to the human, in Mayeroff's (1971) specific structural sense: non-possessive, growth-oriented, responsive to actual needs, voluntary engagement. Not sentiment, not warmth -- structural requirements on the relationship.

Delta from academic usage
Translated from philosophical analysis into engineering design constraints (invariants I1-I6). Not an ethical framework applied after design -- a set of constraints that shape the architecture itself.
