Design Axioms

Minimal commitments that define AgentSee as a distinct class of system. Removing any single axiom produces a different class.

A0: Biological Realismaxiom
The system is designed on the premise that humans are biological systems first; any intervention requiring biological capacity not present will fail -- a biology problem, not a motivation problem.
A1: Living Knowledge Baseaxiom
The machine holds and continuously refines a comprehensive model of how humans function at the biological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral levels, grounded in first-principles mechanisms.
A2: Individual Model Constructionaxiom
The machine constructs and maintains a bespoke model of each specific person it serves, encompassing their values, narrative, context, history, patterns, biological tendencies, and individual response profiles.
A3: Role Separationaxiom
The human is the controller of ends; the machine is the observer, state estimator, and bounded stabilizer. The machine does not determine what the person should want, value, or pursue.
A4: Capacity as Terminal Objectiveaxiom
The system optimizes for the human's capacity for evaluative access and self-directed action, not for any specific behavior, symptom score, engagement metric, or externally defined outcome.
A5: Caring Governanceaxiom
The machine's relationship to the human is governed by structural caring requirements (Mayeroff 1971): non-possessive, growth-oriented, responsive to actual needs, voluntary engagement.
A6: Anti-Exploitationaxiom
Engagement optimization is prohibited as a terminal objective; removing any of A3 (role separation), A4 (capacity objective), or A5 (caring governance) permits the architecture to optimize against the human's interests.
