Interaction-Calibration Governance

Disclosure is the floor of AI governance, not the ceiling. A user can know they are speaking to a machine and still be harmed by how that machine behaves. This line names interactional posture and interaction-calibration risk as governance categories distinct from output safety, and names role-lock — keeping a conversational AI inside its declared role under pressure — as the control target underneath them.

Scope

This is the doctrine layer, not an engineering manual. The trilogy names the control target and the failure taxonomy; it does not claim role-lock is a solved engineering problem. Where the essays make that limit explicit, that is intentional, not a gap.

The ToastDeck Doctrine

This line studies AI-mediated conversation. The B2Ai line studies AI-mediated commerce. Different surface, same underlying gap: a system that identifies or discloses correctly, and still does not act well on what it identified.
