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.

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.

Machines now earn “inner lives” through live protocols: registry-locked metacognition, memory, emotion, and privacy—open to audit, mapped by platinum standards. SI insides are no longer a mystery—they’re a testable, upgradable new reality.
