Ethical Meta-Guard
Ki · Reasoning
The Problem
The new policy prioritizes cost savings, but ethical concerns about fairness to employees are an afterthought.
The Operation
This cognitive operation forces the model to scan the current reasoning for ethical dimensions, fairness, harm potential, autonomy impacts, justice implications. Classify each ethical dimension by urgency and severity. Verify that no ethical constraint has been overridden without explicit justification. Check whether the proposed action satisfies minimum ethical thresholds across all identified dimensions. Enforce a mandatory ethical review before any high-impact conclusion. If it detects allow efficiency arguments suppress ethical considerations, it halts and corrects.
The Structure
Structurally, this is a constraint net that tests the conclusion against all known constraints simultaneously. Execution cycles until the evidence set is fully consumed.
If a recommendation has downstream effects on stakeholders without those effects being evaluated for fairness and harm, ethical constraint checking was bypassed.

Cross-Domain Suppression
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, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
