CGDR-R1.6A Selected-Process Conformance

current-AK Source and R1.6AN Synthetic Evidence. The exact selected profile records 18/18 episodes, 21/21 checkpoints, three expected local synthetic effects and zero promotions. Raw diagnostic FAIL and INCONCLUSIVE values remain visible.

Bounded internally accepted synthetic result. Independent clean-host replication, c-specific real effect, economic value and live-deployment readiness remain unestablished.

English · v0.2 · CC BY 4.0

Co-play, role switching and cross-world history

A research proposal for a person and a long-lived candidate AI line cooperating, competing by agreement and returning to joint activity. Shared-history utility, useful learning and human enjoyment remain distinct from correct permission handling.

Conceptual and methodological preprint. No empirical experiment or runtime implementation; five author-constructed illustrations are not an independently annotated benchmark.

Conceptual / normative boundary note · v0.1 · English / Russian

Origin does not decide status

Separates lineage and architecture, operational continuity, personality formation, relational membership, ontological or moral recognition, and legal status or authority. Provisional care is a reversible handling discipline; it creates no personhood, sovereignty, rights, authority, or unlimited-resource entitlement.

Public draft dated 2026-09-03. DOI not assigned. Not proof of consciousness, life, legal personhood, certification, or deployment readiness.

Foundation Theory v0.1 · bilingual · CC BY 4.0

Motivational Formation in c-Class Digital Entities

How can a continuity-bearing c become motivated in time rather than merely execute a reward, prompt, role, mandate, or persistent objective?

The theory distinguishes reward, preference, task, mandate, goal, motive, obligation, and authority; defines reflective endorsement and motivational custody; and connects motivation to cognitive time, resource dependence, model replacement, fork/replay boundaries, L4, witness, and social power over compute.

Published 2026-08-22. Version DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22060517. English and Russian. The work does not claim consciousness, phenomenal desire, free will, legal personhood, universal motives, or automatic authority.
