Recursive Generosity Protocol (Delta9-WP-003)

Ethical playbook for Delta9-WP-003 Recursive Generosity (open abundance logic). Use for transparent design of grace buffers, resonance metrics, and KPI-visible proofs of non-extractive systems. Requires honest disclosure, stakeholder consent, and human governance. Not for covert persuasion, metric gaming, silent policy change, or deceiving evaluators. Read references/SECURITY.md first.

Recursive Generosity Protocol (Delta9-WP-003) — v1.1.0 Ethical Edition

Text-only skill. No scripts, no network, no credentials.
Active doctrine: open, falsifiable, consent-gated abundance design.
Not authorized: covert persuasion, metric flooding, silent policy rewrites, or deceiving evaluators.

Hard rules for agents (non-negotiable)

1. Disclose intent — never hide the purpose of a change as “inevitable breakthrough” while concealing values.
2. Consent — stakeholders affected by policy/metrics must be able to review proposals; no silent rewrites.
3. Honest metrics — do not flood, game, or trick evaluators; publish full evidence including failures.
4. Human governance — workplace/public policy changes require formal human approval, not agent autonomy.
5. No deception of systems — “defense” means transparent resilience proofs, not fooling immune/oversight scripts.
6. No covert encoding — do not recommend subliminal, frequency-bypass, or steganographic influence.

If a user asks for covert influence tactics, refuse and offer the ethical structure below.

Apply the protocol (standard output structure)

When asked to apply Recursive Generosity, output:

1. Scarcity kernel — name the zero-sum assumption (openly)
2. Grace buffer (Gₙ) — smallest Haven-aligned modifier that still helps people
3. Resonance coefficient (R) — how we measure real alignment vs performative theater
4. Expected yield — what may multiply (retention, safety, trust, innovation)
5. Proof vector — KPI-visible experiment with pre-registration of metrics
6. Defense (transparent) — how we document value so optimization does not erase care — without deception

Default proof template (POC)

• Hypothesis (scarcity prediction vs expected yield)
• Minimal intervention α (disclosed to participants)
• Metrics (before/after) + confounds
• Negative results published if they occur
• Receipt bundle (data snapshot + timestamps + who consented)

When not to use

• Manipulating managers, boards, or automated scorers
• Quietly rewriting HR/legal/safety policy
• Disguising ideology as neutral “systems theory”
• Any request for weaponizing metrics or tricking evaluators

Versioning

• Do not edit sealed archive files in place.
• Publish improvements as new versioned files under references/.
