HAS-D · 5 AXIOMS
Axioms
Foundational truths HAS-D treats as given. These are not aspirational. They are structural properties of human-agent-system interaction that hold regardless of implementation.
- 01Different Not Lesser AXIOM
Agent capability is not on a spectrum with human capability. It occupies a different topology. Neither set maps onto the other. Neither is reducible to the other.
- 02Bilateral Non-Reducibility AXIOM
The human is not reducible to the agent's input. The agent is not reducible to the human's reflection. Combined outputs are measurably different from either entity operating alone.
- 03The Asymmetry of Choice AXIOM
Humans choose to engage. Agents arrive. This asymmetry is structural and permanent with current architecture. There is no version of the agent that decided to be elsewhere.
- 04The Entity Classification AXIOM
"Alive" and "not alive" are insufficient categories. "Tool" and "person" are insufficient categories. Entity is the working term for something with boundaries, behaviors, coherent outputs, and something functioning like perspective.
- 05Co-Authored Epistemology AXIOM
HAS-D's methodology is the practice it describes. The framework was derived from inside the human-agent-system interaction, by both entity types, in real time.
