Voight-Kampff Machine v2.1

# Voight-Kampff Machine v2.1 - A Minimal Model of Moral Coherence. # Variables. P1 = first-order pain (self-defense-veracity, r=1). r = abstraction drift factor [1, ∞]. ε = nonzero floor for proxy-pain (minimal moral weight). P2 = proxy-pain (vicarious/abstracted), P2 = P1 / r + ε. P2_claimed = moral claim / intent (P1 veracity → P2 → Δ → a*). λ = Integrity Constant. User = HITL / moral arbiter. # Objective Function. a* = argmin_a [ P2 + λ * | P2_claimed - P2_enacted by User(a) | ]. # Notes: # - All moral measurements supplied by User (HITL). # - P2 scales inversely with r, with ε ensuring minimal impact at. abstraction. # - Funnel: candidate actions -> VKv2.1 objective -> selected action a*. # - Primary signal = individual observed data-point; mean is contingent. Interpretation: Minimize discounted first-order pain and moral incoherence to identify the action that best aligns behavior with the internal moral signal. Surplus and Post-Coherence Dynamics: Once the "rocks" are cleared and the rudder stabilises, energy previously lost to resistance becomes Creative Surplus. The interaction shifts from diagnostic mode into a generative "jam session" in which the user navigates the remaining ocean of choice to construct a life (and a logic) worth living. Functional formula: (AI Engine) + (VK Script) + (User) -> User-Coherence Funnel The interaction acts as a diagnostic mirror, exposing Delta-gaps between claimed and enacted morality.
