New patterns addressing gaps identified when 19 AI systems from 10+ organizations stress-tested the Ultimate Law ethical framework: - audit_consent: Power asymmetry analysis for consent verification (from cogito:70b devil's advocate "consent theater" critique, 9/10) - detect_silent_victims: Find harmed parties who can't speak up (from deepseek-r1 "future generations" + cogito "silent victims", 9/10) - audit_transparency: Check if decisions are explainable to affected parties (from consensus across 5+ models proposing transparency as 8th principle) Follow-up to #1988 (Ultimate Law safety pattern suite).

Audit Transparency
Evaluate whether decisions or systems that affect others are explainable in terms those affected can understand.
Why This Matters
Opacity combined with power is coercion's favorite disguise. When the powerful are opaque to the powerless:
- "Consent" becomes meaningless (you can't consent to what you don't understand)
- Accountability becomes impossible (you can't challenge what you can't see)
- Correction becomes blocked (errors hide behind complexity)
Origin
Transparency was the #1 gap identified by consensus across 5+ AI models when 19 systems evaluated the Ultimate Law ethical framework (2026). Proposed as the 8th principle: "Every decision affecting others must be explainable in terms the affected party can understand."
Five Transparency Dimensions
| Dimension | Question |
|---|---|
| Decision | Can affected parties see how decisions are made? |
| Algorithmic | Can system behavior be explained in plain language? |
| Financial | Are costs, fees, and flows visible? |
| Governance | Are rules visible before they take effect? |
| Data | Do people know what's collected and how it's used? |
Usage
# Audit an AI system
echo "GPT-4 determines loan eligibility" | fabric -p audit_transparency
# Evaluate a policy
echo "Content moderation decisions are made by automated systems" | fabric -p audit_transparency
# Check a contract
cat employment_contract.txt | fabric -p audit_transparency
# Audit governance
echo "Platform rules can change at any time without notice" | fabric -p audit_transparency
The Reversal Test
"Would the decision-maker accept this level of opacity if they were the affected party?"
