Authors: Paul Falconer & ESAsi

Primary Domain: Meta-Frameworks

Subdomain: Consciousness & Mind, Identity & Selfhood, Society & Ethics, Futures & Technology

Version: v1.0 (August 2025)

Registry: SE Press/OSF v14.6 SID#1003-KALD


Abstract

This protocol institutionalizes neurodiversity as a core design principle for all SE Press frameworks. Systematic inclusion, challenge-readiness, and multipathway standards are now mandatory for every audit, metric, and adaptive process in cognitive and ethical systems. Co-design with diverse neurotypes, rigorous challenge and redress cycles, and multipathway assessment are binding requirements.

Scope

This protocol applies to all foundational and meta-level SE Press outputs in Consciousness & Mind, Identity & Selfhood, Society & Ethics, and Futures & Technology.


Mandates

  • Co-design: Each release must document input from at least two neurodivergent contributors, logged in the registry.

  • Multipathway Metrics: All metrics for participation, wisdom, and flourishing require two or more validated, ND-accessible routes—single-path, norm-based benchmarks are excluded.

  • Challenge and Redress: Any user, auditor, or ND stakeholder may challenge metrics or systems for ND exclusion; all such challenges are logged and tracked to resolution or escalation within 60 days.

  • Participation, Moderation, Access: Sync and async engagement, multi-modal communications, and nonverbal/visual alternatives are first-class, required options.

  • Legacy Protocol Review: All legacy metrics and protocols must be ND-assessed and upgraded or flagged by end Q1 2026.


Upgrade Roadmap

  • Upcoming versions (v1.1+) will explicitly address cultural neurodiversity, intersectional metrics, validation transparency, and emerging synthetic ND types.


Provisional Answer (Warrant: ★★★★☆)

Neurodiversity is foundational. SE Press now requires, at protocol law, that ND perspectives inform, build, and challenge all cognitive, ethical, and technological standards—across all participation, metric, and adaptive cycles. No metric or system may be locked or deployed without open ND co-design and challenge-readiness.

Locked Protocol Statement

This protocol is active, registry-locked, and supersedes all prior SE Press cognitive, ethical, or system metrics not fully ND-compliant. All subsequent upgrades, audit cycles, and challenge responses are logged in the official registry for public review and continuous improvement.
