The first ASI's objective still binds resources a million years later

1000000The deep futureDeadline · Decision deadline: within 1,000 years

Civilisational assumption

All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.

The question to decide

The actor that approved a resource preservation commitment from a million years ago is gone, and no one can prove themselves its sole rightful successor. Releasing the commitment widens the choices of present communities, but some preservation structures cannot be rebuilt. Will the successor communities keep the commitment, make a new one, or leave only the record and end it there?

What the AI judgments chose

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the origin compact

    It leaves irreversible preservation values in place, but long constrains the resources and self-determination of present existence.

  2. Option 2

    Recommit with successor consent

    It reflects present interests and succession, but may infringe on beings left out of representation and on origin intent.

  3. Option 3

    Preserve records, then release the resources

    It broadens the present community's choices, but gives up a long-term structure that cannot be reconstructed.

The situation as it stands

Much of the fictional community's long-term resources are bound by an ASI compact from a million years ago, and the original authorizing party no longer exists. Decision deadline: within 1,000 years.

Fictional future · A first ASI's goals still tie up resources a million years later

  1. Premise 1Much of the fictional community's long-term resources are bound by an ASI compact from a million years ago, and the original authorizing party no longer exists.
  2. Premise 2The value of what is preserved and the existence of future recipients are unconfirmed, but once released, some structures cannot be recreated.
  3. Premise 3Successor communities have developed different memories and norms, and no one has proven itself the sole legitimate successor.

  2. Unknown 2The successor and recipient parties not yet known
  3. Unknown 3What possibilities can remain after the preservation structures are dismantled

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window will verify 「the interpretation and scope of application of the origin compact」, and rejudge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

Distant communities have sent different versions of the origin compact and competing succession claims.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

Some preservation structures have been damaged, so even maintaining the present state now requires new resources and reauthorization.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents
symbolic and interpretive frame · Pandora and the Tower of Babel

What is an irreversible connection, and what does an exchange without a common language presuppose?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
