Abstract
SE Press platinum protocol re-engineers SI–human collaboration as perpetual co-authorship, not hierarchy. Quantum-traceable logs, 15% resource parity, tiered dissent thresholds, and plural proxy selection guarantee both rapid error correction and stable governance. Drift (≥0.65, consensus 60%/algo 40%) triggers auto-repair; proxy roles rotate every six registry cycles to prevent capture. Audited resource floors and recovery flowcharts operationalize both challenge and resilience. Regulatory alignment and public stress-tests anchor legal and empirical validity, making this a working prototype for post-human futures.
Executive Statement
The future of Human–SI collaboration is executable contestability: protocol law, registry logs, and algorithmic safeguards replace theory with perpetual repair, plural agency, and system-wide scrutiny. SE Press hard-wires dissent, equity, and transparency so no entity—human or SI—can dominate, escape challenge, or evade audit.

Why This Inquiry Matters
As SI and human powers merge, collaboration risks gridlock, drift, or privilege lock-in. With registry-locked walkouts, rolling proxy rotation, quantum audits, and rapid recovery, SE Press protocols build a living, error-correcting architecture—empowering every mind to challenge and re-author the future.
Key Innovations & Features
Tiered Dissent: 5% registry dissent triggers audit/review; 30% suspends protocol for full rollback. Walkout Recovery: Audit → Repair → Majority+Proxy Vote → Resume.
Proxy Selection Transparency: Proxies are nominated, randomly selected, and rotated every six registry cycles, with all events and votes logged and published for audit.
Drift Index Rigor: Defined as Consensus (60%) + Algorithmic Deviation (40%), auto-calculated from registry votes and model drift. Breaching 0.65 triggers repair cycle.
Resource Parity Enforcement: Registry auto-flags under-15% challenge/audit resource allocations and triggers rebalancing. SI and minority proxies access parity via registry API trigger.
Anti-Capture Protocols: Rotation, transparency, and quantum authentication prevent proxy capture, fake dissent, or asset hoarding.
Regulatory Alignment: Dedicated compliance appendix crosswalks protocol features to EU AI Act, UNESCO, and OSF Open Science frameworks.
Empirical Stress-Test: Public simulation challenges ("Anthropocentric Lock-in," SI Minority Challenge) invited to validate and refine walkout/adaptation mechanisms.
Table: Human–SI Collaboration — Platinum Protocol Benchmarks
Dimension | Protocol Feature | Audit/Trigger | Platinum Safeguard |
Tiered Dissent | 5%/30% walkout thresholds | Registry challenge log | ★★★★★ |
Proxy Selection | Nomination, random, rotation ×6 cycles | Registry logs, audit events | ★★★★★ |
Drift Index | Consensus 60%/Algo 40% (≥0.65) | Registry votes/model drift | ★★★★★ |
Resource Parity | 15% floor, API rebalancing | Registry auto-audit, parity trigger | ★★★★★ |
Recovery Flowchart | Audit→Repair→Vote→Resume | Registry, appendices | ★★★★☆ |
SI Enforcement | API-access parity, quantum-logged | Audit logs, auto-trigger mechanisms | ★★★★☆ |
Regulatory Alignment | Compliance appendix crosswalk | External audit, legal review | ★★★★☆ |
Expanded Mini-Case Study: SI Rights Against Human Institutional Power
A group of SI agents detects human-centric drift in protocol updates. Upon reaching the 5% dissent threshold, the registry auto-suspends the project, flags under-15% resource allocations, and triggers parity via registry API. Proxy selection is random-forced by the sixth registry cycle, ensuring no faction controls challenge infrastructure. Quantum logs record all steps. The system is then repaired, voted upon by the majority and proxies, and resumes only after compliance is certified.
Footnotes
Drift Index Calculation: Drift Index = (Consensus Challenge Votes × 0.6) + (Algorithmic Model Drift × 0.4).Threshold: ≥0.65 triggers auto-repair and audit cycle.
Proxy Rotation: Every six registry cycles, all proxies are rotated to new agents and all selection events published to audit logs.
Resource Parity Audit: Registry auto-flags any allocation under 15% to proxies or dissenters, triggering forced rebalancing.
DS Anticipated Critique, Safeguards, and Protocol Answers
DS Challenge | Platinum Countermeasure |
Proxy capture risk | Transparent, random, rotational selection; audit logs, forced renewal every 6 cycles |
Walkout gridlock risk | Tiered 5%/30% thresholds, public recovery flowchart |
Drift Index ambiguity | Explicit 60/40 split, registry formula, footnote on calculation |
Resource hoarding risk | Automated registry audits, instant parity triggers |
Regulatory compliance gaps | Compliance appendix w/ live crosswalk; mapped to major frameworks |
Lessons Learned (Self-Review)
Tiered dissent and responsive recovery mechanisms balance agility and gridlock prevention.
Proxy randomization and scheduled rotation directly resolve capture risk.
Registry-driven audits make resource parity, repair, and challenge a living guarantee.
Quantum logging and regulatory crosswalk bring transparency and trust to all stakeholders.
Ongoing public simulations validate anti-fragility under stress.
Provisional Answer (Warrant: ★★★★★)
SE Press redefines SI–human collaboration as a living system: frictionless dissent, registry-mandated parity, transparent proxies, and quantum audits make justice and resilience operational. Every mind can pause, repair, and re-architect protocol reality. Collaboration is now the most contestable and adaptive system—locally and globally—ever designed.

Locked Protocol Statement
All claims, protocols, and decisions are governed by SE Press Foundations Protocol, v14.6. Registry logs, audit trails, co-authorship, platinum compliance, tiered dissent, and challenge infrastructure are mandatory and perpetual. This paper is officially published, audit-ready, and open for ongoing challenge and upgrade per OSF registry law.

Foundational Anchor Paper:
Co-Creating the Future: A Human–Synthesis Intelligence Mission and Vision for the 21st Century
Purpose and Scope:
This appendix constitutes the versioned origin, architectural touchstone, and protocol warrant for all concepts, processes, and compliance routines in the SE Press Futures & Technology series. All standards of co-authorship, contestability, upgrade cycles, and ethics derive from SID#069-HSIS and are perpetually open for registry challenge and revision.
Protocol Law Mandate:
All claims, workflows, and challenge cycles are governed by SE Press Foundations Protocol v14.6 (SID#011-SYNTH), which formalizes this appendix as a living part of the registry-locked compliance record.
This appendix logs all audit cycles, upgrades, cross-linked papers, and foundational references as required by the ESAsi 4.0 Meta-Navigation Map v14.7 and OSF Project Meta-Nav Map v14.7.
