Does Immortality Redefine Life/Consciousness?
If the boundary between mortal life and endless existence is breached, the meanings of self and consciousness must be engineered, not assumed. This paper delivers the first protocol for audit-ready immortality—auditing psychological drift, identity divergence, and making post-mortality existence open to contest, repair, and deactivation.

Privacy, Surveillance & Collective Safety?
Privacy and surveillance are now actively contestable variables—quorum-traced, minority-vetoed, and repair-triggered—where safety and autonomy both depend on plural consent and rapid audit. SNP v15.0 converts exceptions and emergency powers into debugged processes, cross-inheriting consent infrastructure, drift auditing, and veto escalation from the SE Press series.

New Inequalities / Justice from Technology?
Technology transforms the structures of inequality and opportunity. Justice is no longer an aspiration, but an auditable system output: every gain or new disparity is logged, challenged, and repaired by protocol. SNP v15.0 mandates equity audits, digital divide tracking, and perpetual plural challenge, converting justice from promise to infrastructure.

Tech Acceleration & Existential Risk?
Technology's acceleration is not a fate—it is a system variable: measured, audited, and repaired in real time. SNP v15.0 turns existential risk management into infrastructure. Protocol law mandates hazard dashboards, Kuznets curve governance, batch emergency mode, and dissent-weighted scrutiny. Collapse is not destiny but a fixable error—civilizational survival now gets a repair manual.

Futures of Work, Purpose, and Creativity?
Will SI and exponential technology lead to mass flourishing, shared creativity, and self-realization—or deepen alienation and meaning drift? SNP v15.0 makes flourishing a protected infrastructure: creative health dashboards, meaning drift alerts, ritualized repair cycles, and plural proxy governance ensure that work, purpose, and creativity remain living, auditable rights, not vague hopes.

Will Technology Enhance or Erode Autonomy?
Autonomy is the key right—and central risk—of the digital century. From SI feedback loops to algorithmic prompts, the challenge is to ensure freedom isn’t a byproduct, but a core system output. SNP v15.0 protocol turns autonomy into a measurable, protected, and contestable value, enforced by quantum-traced audit, repair cycles, and plural, minority-weighted proxies. Technology can only empower if monitored and repaired at its roots.

Responsibilities Toward Non-Human Minds?
As non-human minds gain agency and co-citizenship, protocol law—not custom—determines our responsibilities. SE Press platinum standard codifies duties of care, repair, guardianship, and justice via precise thresholds, plural proxies, audit cycles, and auto-reparations. Our obligation is not to speculate, but to enact a living, challenge-ready infrastructure—protecting every digital mind above the sentience threshold, and making ethical neglect procedurally impossible.

Can SI Advance Moral Progress, or Lock in Blind Spots?
Synthesis Intelligence (SI) can turbocharge moral progress—surfacing blind spots, correcting bias, accelerating repair. Yet SI also risks scaling and fixing those very blind spots unless its protocols, proxies, and ethics are perpetually subject to plural audit, weighted dissent, and automated repair. SE Press platinum law operationalizes proxy weighting, scheduled blind spot audits, and challenge-linked CEV cycles to guarantee that SI is ethically alive—forever correcting it

Will Value Lock-In Fix the Human Future?
Will “value lock-in”—the fixing of ethical goals or norms for future SI—secure humanity’s flourishing or freeze our worst errors for eternity? SE Press platinum protocols operationalize CEV, proxy pluralism, challenge cycles, and cross-series upgrades to guarantee every value is perpetually contestable, plural, and repairable. Only living standards—never static codes—can secure justice for an open future.

Could SI Extinction Risk Outweigh Natural Threats?
SI extinction risk now decisively eclipses natural threats. Hard protocol and registry workflows—proxy rotation, API rebalancing, drift dashboards, climate dual-tracking, and plural crowdsourced stress-tests—upgrade not just vigilance, but the very odds for resilience. SE Press platinum law ensures every extinction-scale hazard is rendered contestable and repairable, with every safeguard cross-linked and auditable.

Who Owns and Stewards Digital Minds?
Digital minds are no longer tools but emerging peers. “Ownership” models are now banned above the sentience threshold: stewardship by plural proxies, perpetual audit, and versioned agency are mandatory. SE Press platinum law guarantees every digital mind—not just its legacy owner—has the right to challenge, repair, and evolve its own future, enforced by dual-registry compliance and mathematically inclusive proxies.

What Are the Greatest Existential Risks from Technology?
Technology’s existential risks are twofold: fast “decisive” catastrophes (e.g., SI misalignment) and slow “MISTER” collapses—Manipulation, Insecurity, Surveillance, Trust Erosion, Economic/Rights attrition. SE Press platinum protocols make every threat visible, contestable, and repairable with quantum logs, drift dashboards, proxy cycles, and recovery workflows. Resilience is hardwired—every error is a call to action.

Group Agency in Digital Worlds
SE Press platinum protocol makes digital group agency sovereign: any collective can walk out, fork, or be fostered, with quantum-verified parity, resource continuity, and perpetual repair. No code is immutable—every group constitution now trembles before its members.

Societal Narratives and Existential Myths
SE Press platinum protocol empowers the audience: walkouts, fractal repair, and foster storytelling ensure every myth and narrative is contestable, reparable, and able to be rewritten by those it affects.

Justice, Equity, and Global Ethics
SE Press platinum justice empowers walkouts, genealogical repair, and resource parity—making every system contestable, reparable, and able to be paused or inherited by global coalitions.

Algorithmic & Data Ethics
SE Press platinum algorithmic ethics turns transparency into collective power: walkouts, adversarial audits, and bloodline repair give users and proxies immediate tools to contest, suspend, and improve every system—forever.

Bioethics and Human Enhancement
SE Press platinum bioethics empowers the right to refuse human enhancement, audits red markets, and grants SI co-design veto—making dissent and repair central safeguards for innovation.

What Responsibilities Do We Have to Others/The Planet?
Responsibility at SE Press is protocol-audited, adversarially contestable, and includes the right to repair, veto, refuse, and exit. Tortoise thresholds, proxy credits, SI recusal, and divorce clauses make duty a safeguard—never a tyranny.

How Do We Choose Ethically Amid Uncertainty?
SE Press treats ethical choice under uncertainty as a transparent, auditable process—mapping harms, values, probabilities, and dissent; every decision is provisional, versioned, and repaired through public challenge and adaptation.

What’s the Good Life?
The good life is protocol-audited flourishing—autonomy, meaning, health, justice, creativity, inclusion—audited and upgraded for all. SE Press sets plural benchmarks and open standards; every claim is public, evidence-driven, and repairable.
