LEGAL & COMPLIANCE ARCHITECTURE  
Human Cognitive Clarity Systems™

 

------------------------------------------------------------
CATEGORY DEFINITION  
Human Cognitive Clarity Systems™ are a distinct class of AI-supported cognitive tools designed to improve clarity, reduce cognitive load, strengthen decision quality, and support structured reasoning. These systems operate strictly as non-clinical, educational, and decision-support frameworks. They always require human oversight and never replace professional, therapeutic, or medical services.

HUG™ (Human Understanding Guidance) provides cognitive scaffolding and structured reasoning support.  
The Clarity Engine™ offers transparency, planning support, and decision-quality enhancement.  
The Clarity Index™ measures clarity-related factors from a non-clinical perspective.  
The System-Layer Architecture provides external oversight, stability, and transparent reasoning pathways.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM-LAYER GOVERNANCE MODEL  
The System-Layer Architecture introduces an external oversight layer designed to support transparency, stability, and safe operation. Core governance components include:

• Human-in-the-loop review  
• Reasoning traceability  
• Structured verification  
• Context stability  
• Constraint adherence  
• Auditability  
• Safe rollback mechanisms  

This governance approach aligns with widely recognized standards including:  
• EU AI Act principles  
• NIST AI Risk Management Framework  
• ISO/IEC AI guidelines  
• FTC transparency expectations  

The architecture provides a clear, understandable oversight layer that improves clarity and reduces cognitive load, while ensuring the user remains in full control.

SAFETY BOUNDARIES & DISCLAIMERS  
HUG™, the Clarity Engine™, the Clarity Index™, and all related tools operate under strict safety boundaries:

• Not medical  
• Not therapeutic  
• Not diagnostic  
• Not a substitute for clinical, legal, or professional care  
• No guaranteed outcomes  
• Requires user oversight and decision-making  
• Provides cognitive clarity, not emotional or clinical interventions  

All users retain full responsibility for their decisions.  
These tools provide structured reasoning support, clarity enhancement, and cognitive scaffolding only.

 

------------------------------------------------------------
