The A3 Framework
A comprehensive system for ethical human-AI collaboration
A3: Automation, Abundance, Adversity
Three pillars that guide our approach to human-AI collaboration
Automation
Amplified, not idolized
Abundance
Created, not simulated
Adversity
Addressed in service to human flourishing
The 6Q Semantic Framework
Six dimensions that provide semantic coordinates for cognitive intelligence collaboration
WhatConceptual and technological dimensions
WhoAgency, source, and attribution dimensions
WhenTemporal context and lifecycle positioning
WhereEnvironmental, domain, and spatial context
HowMethodological and process dimensions
WhyPurpose, intent, and motivational dimensions
The Five Stages of Desire
A behavioral operating system for human-AI interaction
1
Awareness
Recognition and discovery phase
2
Inquiry
Investigation and research phase
3
Understanding
Comprehension and synthesis phase

A3 Safeguards
Four layers of protection ensuring ethical AI development
1. Theological Filtering
Every AI response evaluated for human agency primacy and moral order derived from absolute truth
2. Intentionality Gatekeeping
Nodes must reflect human desire, not machine entropy, and answer at least one 6Q dimension
3. Agentic Separation Protocol
Strict boundaries between human users and AI agents with full audit trails
4. Ethical Confinement
Five Stages of Desire as regulatory framework preventing manipulative suggestions
