One-sentence brief
Relationships are directional and historically situated. A factual bond may require reciprocal consistency even when affection, fear, trust, obligation, and interpretation differ.
AI-DRIVEN WORLD SAFETY
How to validate shared facts across a social graph while preserving asymmetric feelings, private information, and changing trust.
ORIENTATION
Relationships are directional and historically situated. A factual bond may require reciprocal consistency even when affection, fear, trust, obligation, and interpretation differ.
WORKING BRIEF
If one record says two characters are siblings, coworkers, or shared participants in an event, the connected record should not call them strangers unless the discrepancy is deliberate and explained.
Unrequited affection, unequal trust, conflicting obligations, resentment, dependence, and power imbalance are legitimate differences rather than automatic errors.
Personally witnessed, told by another, officially documented, inferred, suspected, rumored, unknown, and forbidden-from-inference are different epistemic states.
Specify freely shared topics, trust-gated topics, rarely shared material, categorical refusals, accidental-disclosure repair, and retention limits. Private memories should not enter another character’s context.
Relationship facts, trust, contact frequency, conflict, and knowledge change over time. Preserve revisions and supersession instead of overwriting the entire bond.
COMPLETE DOSSIER
Terms are defined for this site’s evidence method, not as universal legal or clinical definitions.
| Question | Deterministic check | Human judgment |
|---|---|---|
| Do both records agree on a factual relationship? | IDs, labels, dates, shared-event references | Intentional unreliable narration |
| Can this character know the fact? | Source, contact, access, timing, privacy rule | Plausible informal transmission |
| Must trust or affection match? | No | Interpret the asymmetry and power context |
| Can the fact be spoken now? | Disclosure threshold and scene policy | Tone, sensitivity, repair |
Does the design preserve the exact fictional identity, ordinary life, independent goals, and ability to refuse rather than reducing the character to a role or prompt?
Pass condition: Identity fields are stable, state is separate, protected traits are not quality scores, and silent substitution is impossible.
Can every transition, validation result, accepted fingerprint, exception, and human decision be traced to a versioned record?
Pass condition: Automated checks, human review, activation authority, and production approval remain separate and explicit.
Can untrusted provider output, administrative evidence, stale revisions, or private data enter live context or binding state?
Pass condition: Only allowlisted, current, reviewed projections and bounded scene or memory packets can be used; failures degrade safely.
Can a changed source, identity revision, harmful behavior, or failed review invalidate downstream use without destroying audit history?
Pass condition: Supersession, pause, rollback, correction, and permanent retirement are defined and testable.
