• Defense in Depth: Multiple independent containment layers, human oversight at every phase.
• Transparent Accountability: Named individuals, public commitments, signed certificates.
• Continuous Verification: "Trust but verify" operationalized through telemetry, audits, and intervention protocols.
• Precedent-Aware Design: Every decision considers its value as future precedent for more capable systems.
