Hume's Guillotine
Ki · Single Ability
The Problem
The default behavior: The fact that people are naturally competitive means we ought to encourage competition in schools to drive success.
The Operation
The model is directed to scan the argument for prescriptive claims (should, must, ought) and extract each one. For each prescriptive claim, identify the descriptive observation it relies on. Check whether a value judgment bridges the gap between the descriptive fact and the normative conclusion, if none is stated, flag the is-ought violation. Isolate each hidden value judgment and demand it be made explicit. If the value judgment is made explicit and the audience accepts it, validate the argument as properly bridged. If it detects allow prescriptive recommendations to flow directly from, it halts and corrects.
The Structure
This ability runs on a gated pipeline where each step must pass a decision gate before the next can execute.
If a prescriptive recommendation is derived directly from a descriptive observation without marking the transition, is-ought separation was violated.
Haki · Multi Ability
Synergy Topology
In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.
When retrieved in Haki mode, these four abilities don't run in sequence. They merge into a single injection where the dependency grounds the reasoning context, the amplifier sharpens the primary's output, and the alternative provides a fallback path if the primary's topology cannot converge. The result is a multi-angle reasoning scaffold that covers failure modes no single ability can reach alone.
