Governance

Powerful narrative intelligence requires clear ethical boundaries.

NarrativeOS is designed so that capability, evidence, and accountability advance together.

01

Modeled estimates, not observed truth

NarrativeOS outputs projections, hypotheses, and source-backed intelligence. It does not claim to directly observe human minds.

02

Evidence and provenance

Every serious output preserves source references, confidence, model version, and trace.

03

TargetState discipline

An intended target is not proof of effect or legitimacy.

04

Human review

High-stakes outputs require expert interpretation and human accountability.

05

What NarrativeOS is not.

not a mind-reading systemnot a manipulation enginenot a guaranteed prediction machinenot an autonomous propaganda systemnot a replacement for human judgment
06 · Ethical constraints

Nine operating constraints.

autonomy

Audiences retain the right to interpret, disagree, and disengage.

truthfulness

Claims are traced to sources; contradictions are surfaced, not smoothed.

consent

Client-private context is used with explicit permission and scope.

privacy

Cohorts are modeled as mechanisms, never as identified individuals.

uncertainty

Confidence is reported alongside every projection.

interpretability

Every state transition carries an inspectable ExecutionTrace.

proportionality

Analytical depth is matched to the stakes of the decision.

right to refuse

Engagements incompatible with these boundaries are declined.

correction and review

Findings can be challenged, corrected, and re-run with revised evidence.

07 · Design mode ethics

TargetState boundaries.

Narrative Architect only designs toward legitimate narrative objectives. Every TargetState is declared, reviewed, and bounded by an explicit ethical design boundary.
