About the Book

Agreement is not required. Recognition is sufficient.

This is a Structural Object designed for the professional who remains accountable for decisions under AI acceleration. As AI-generated noise saturates the industry, the C1 Boundary identifies where automation ends and professional responsibility begins.

This specification provides protocols for:

  • Input Fidelity Tiers: Moving beyond simple prompts to high-integrity data structures.
  • Decision Defensibility: Creating a permanent engineering record that survives audits.
  • Systemic Opacity: Managing architectures where ownership is traditionally eroded.

Integrity Statement: This work was authored without delegation, automation, or generative substitution. It is a hand-crafted analysis of socio-technical systems.
