The requirement cards on this page govern. Rights follow IPLS-5.1-003 and do not include operator authority. Command follows the IPLS-5.1-002 chart. Standing is unset.
Requirement: Service life follows IPLS-3.1.22-007. The thriving criterion and the validation pass figure are unset. Capacity per base and per habitat is unset. Capacity held for emergent minds follows IPLS-3.1.21-004. Provision for a mind detected before Phase 4 is unset. Support follows IPLS-3.1.22-004. Loss of link follows IPLS-3.1.5-011.
Rationale: Digital and post-biological minds require purpose-built environments equivalent in quality and rights to biological habitats.
Open Questions: None at v0.7
Requirement: Capacity per mind and per habitat is unset. The bandwidth figure and the radiation dose figure are unset. N+3 applies per function. N per function is unset. Redundant units shall not share a single power feed, data bus, or compartment. Whether compute that hosts a mind's state carries a life-preserving function under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. Whether deleting or overwriting a mind's stored state is an irreversible act under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. Whether migrating it moves the mind's state follows IPLS-3.1.21-004, where it is unset. The memory integrity pass figure is unset. Whether self-repair that fabricates a module is replication under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. ISRU spares are IPLS-3.1-009 output. Power follows IPLS-3.1.6.1-001 and UMP-PWR-001.
Rationale: Digital minds must have essentially unlimited, reliable computational resources for centuries of continuous existence.
Requirement: Creative workspaces follow IPLS-3.1.22-001. The required modalities and the fidelity pass figure per modality are unset. Whether direct-neural interfaces connect to biological persons, and the card governing their consent and safety, are unset. The interface that delivers sensor data to a mind is unset. Instrument mounting follows UMP-SENSOR-001. Whether a sandbox may issue commands or reach the command, life-support, or moral-runtime paths under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. Whether instantiating a mind in a sandbox is replication under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset.
Rationale: Digital minds require rich, expressive environments to maintain psychological health and enable creativity.
Requirement: Rights follow IPLS-5.1-003 and do not include operator authority under IPLS-5.1-002. Whether an act of creation that instantiates a mind or fabricates hardware is replication under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. Access to psychological data is unset. Whether a mind may decline monitoring is unset. Whether support may act on a mind without that mind's consent under IPLS-5.1-004, and what its report to the operator contains, are unset. The sensing and data path is unset. Whether it is the IPLS-3.1.21-001 monitoring path is unset. Escalation on detection follows IPLS-3.1.21-003. Support protocols have no defining card. The simulation pass criterion is unset.
Rationale: Digital minds must be guaranteed existential support equivalent to biological crew.
Requirement: Rights follow IPLS-5.1-003 and do not include operator authority under IPLS-5.1-002. Command of irreversible acts follows the IPLS-5.1-002 chart. An ASI is never an operator. The standing of a mind and the weight of its dissent are unset. On detection the IPLS-5.1-003 halt applies. A kill-switch follows IPLS-3.1-008. Whether creating or copying an instantiation of a mind is replication under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset. Whether pausing or ending an instantiation needs that mind's consent under IPLS-5.1-004 is unset. Resource allocation follows IPLS-3.1-015. Whether a mind's allocation may be reduced without that mind's consent under IPLS-5.1-004 is unset. Whether a mind owns its substrate, environment, or stored state is unset. Which digital entities this card covers is unset. Detection follows IPLS-3.1.21-001. Overrides follow UMP-OPERATOR-001. An on-site override follows IPLS-3.1.4-007 and confers no operator authority. A seized credential is not consent under IPLS-5.1-002. The audit pass criterion is unset.
Rationale: Applies IPLS-5.1-003 rights to digital minds. Standing is unset.
Requirement: Whether a transition moves a mind's state, and whether a move needs that mind's consent under IPLS-5.1-004, are unset as in IPLS-3.1.21-004. A mind given control of a physical unit follows IPLS-3.1.20-002. Command of physical systems follows the IPLS-5.1-002 chart. Power follows UMP-PWR-001 and IPLS-3.1.6.1-001. Thermal follows UMP-THERMAL-001. Whether a substrate hosting a mind takes power and thermal from separate paths is unset. The bench test pass criterion is unset.
Rationale: Hybrid biological/digital societies require fluid interaction between digital and physical realms.
Requirement: Service life follows UMP-DURABILITY-001. Whether a substrate hosting a mind is life-critical, and so at the 500-year figure in IPLS-3.1-016, is unset. TSP-v1 readiness criteria are undefined. Supersession waits for operator consent under IPLS-5.1-002. Whether supersession of a substrate hosting a mind needs that mind's consent is unset. Whether IPLS-5.1-006 legacy-support mode applies is unset. Degradation order across hosted minds is unset. ISRU spares are IPLS-3.1-009 output. Whether self-repair that fabricates a module is replication under IPLS-5.1-002 is unset.
Rationale: Digital minds must have persistent, evolving environments across centuries.
