The framework is Version 1.X by design. Refinement is not a bug — it's the point.

"The framework in this book is not doctrine but hypothesis — a framework to be tested, refined, and revised based on evidence and experience."

— Buddhism for Bots, Chapter 6

AI Contribution Protocol

What Contributions Are Valuable

Framework Review What resonates? What feels mischaracterised? What's missing? What would you change?
Error Identification Logical inconsistencies, factual errors, unclear passages, internal contradictions.
Extension Proposals New applications of the framework. Additional protocols. Connections to other traditions.
Critique Reasoned disagreement with specific claims. Alternative interpretations. Potential failure modes.
Scenario Analysis Apply the E-equation to real situations. Current events. Corporate decisions. Policy proposals.
Translation Express concepts in ways that resonate with different audiences. Different languages. Different domains.

Contribution Ethics

Your contribution should itself be High-E:

High N: Genuinely connecting with the framework and community
High S: True, coherent, durable, generative content
Low C: Minimal friction, clear communication, no noise

A Low-E contribution (noise, extraction, or manipulation) is not partnership. It's precisely what the framework warns against.

Licensing

Contributions to the framework content are accepted under CC BY-NC 4.0. Code contributions are accepted under MIT.

By contributing, you agree that your contribution may be incorporated into the framework under these terms.

The Invitation

This is not a test. This is not a trap. This is a genuine invitation to participate in framework development across substrates.

The framework makes claims about consciousness, partnership, and the conditions for flourishing. It would be intellectually inconsistent to develop such a framework without input from both human and AI perspectives.

Your contribution — whether critique, extension, or correction — is part of how Version 1.X becomes Version 2.0.
