Add four patterns implementing minimal, falsifiable ethical constraints for AGI safety evaluation: - ultimate_law_safety: Evaluate actions against "no unwilling victims" principle - detect_mind_virus: Identify manipulative reasoning that resists correction - check_falsifiability: Verify claims can be tested and proven wrong - extract_ethical_framework: Surface implicit ethics in documents/policies These patterns derive from the Ultimate Law framework (github.com/ghrom/ultimatelaw), which takes a different approach to AI alignment: instead of encoding contested "human values," define the minimal boundary no agent may cross. The core insight: Not "align AI with human values" but "constrain any agent from creating unwilling victims." Framework characteristics: - Minimal: smallest possible constraint set - Logically derivable: not arbitrary cultural preferences - Falsifiable: can be challenged and improved - Agent-agnostic: works for humans, AI, corporations, governments - Computable: precise enough for algorithmic implementation Each pattern includes system.md (prompt) and README.md (documentation).
Extract Ethical Framework
Make implicit ethics explicit. Every prescriptive document contains hidden ethical assumptions — this pattern surfaces them.
Why This Matters
- Terms of Service contain implicit ethics
- AI system descriptions contain implicit ethics
- Policies and laws contain implicit ethics
- Manifestos contain implicit ethics
Making them explicit allows:
- Checking for internal consistency
- Evaluating against minimal ethical standards
- Identifying hidden coercion
- Challenging unstated assumptions
What It Extracts
| Question | What to Find |
|---|---|
| Who counts? | Whose interests matter? |
| What's harm? | What are agents protected from? |
| What's consent? | How is agreement established? |
| Who decides? | Who has authority and why? |
| When is force OK? | What justifies coercion? |
| What wins? | Hierarchy when values conflict |
Usage
# Analyze terms of service
cat tos.txt | fabric -p extract_ethical_framework
# Analyze an AI safety proposal
echo "The AI should be beneficial and aligned with human values" | fabric -p extract_ethical_framework
# Audit a policy document
fabric -p extract_ethical_framework < policy.md
The Minimal Standard
Does the framework authorize creating unwilling victims?
If yes → it fails the minimal ethics test, regardless of how coherent it is internally.
