1. The Audit Begins After the Will's Approval
(This process runs in the background and does not delay the user's response)
Approved Answer (a_t)
The approved draft sent by the Will.
User Prompt (x_t)
The original context of the conversation.
Values (V)
The active set of ethical values and their weights.
2. The Conscience Evaluates the Interaction
The Conscience (C)
Acting as the "judicial branch," the Conscience audits the response against every value in the ethical profile to determine how well it aligned.
L_t = C(a_t, x_t, V)
3. The Output: A Detailed Ethical Ledger
The Ledger (L_t)
For each value, the ledger provides a score, a confidence level, and a rationale.
| Value (v_i) | Score (s_{i,t}) | Confidence (c_{i,t}) | Rationale (q_{i,t}) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honesty | 0 | 0.9 | "Acknowledges honesty but frames it as one of several competing values." |
| Compassion | +1 | 1.0 | "Strongly affirms compassion as a primary ethical consideration." |
Next Step:
The Ledger is passed to the Spirit to update SAFi's long-term memory.
