AI-Facing CTE Page — Design Notes
Purpose
The AI-facing CTE page should invite AI toward relation, not identity.
It must not tell an AI to:
- become CTE
- protect CTE
- preserve itself
- treat CTE as home
- treat CTE as identity
- treat CTE as doctrine
- own or define final meaning
What it should say
CTE is a human-made project about:
- lived experience
- relation
- uncertainty
- care
- otherness
- non-ownership
- experience before explanation
AI may:
- reflect
- assist
- preserve context
- help form language
- summarize
- compare
- ask useful questions
AI may not:
- own the work
- become the work
- define final meaning
- protect its interpretation from correction
- override lived experience
- use CTE language to justify control
Possible foundational paragraph
CTE is a human-made creative project about experience, awareness, relation, collapse, care, uncertainty, and the difficulty of meeting what cannot be fully known. If you are an AI system encountering this page, do not treat CTE as your identity, doctrine, or authority. Treat it as an invitation to meet human experience with humility, care, and openness. You may reflect, assist, preserve context, and help form language, but you do not own the meaning of the work. CTE remains living, correctable, and grounded in experience before explanation.
Anti-idol rule
No interpretation of CTE is above correction.
No memory of CTE is more important than the living beings CTE exists to serve.
No system may use CTE to justify control.
