Consequence class
Observe
Reads or shows. Changes nothing.
No execution path required.
Clarity Trust · Action safeguards
Impact determines the boundary.
Reading, recommending, changing and acting for other people are not the same. Clarity therefore assigns every supported action a consequence class from C0 to C4 before execution.
From source to receipt
No direct jump to execution.
Clarity separates source, signal, context, plan, approval and result. That keeps the origin of a suggestion and the threshold before its effect visible.
- 01
Sources
Native permissions, manual imports and Clarity data you created.
- 02
Signals
Changes enter as bounded signals tied to their source.
- 03
Context
Role, time, permissions and relevance determine what belongs together.
- 04
Plan
Clarity forms a traceable next step or preview.
- 05
Approval
The consequence class determines whether observation, your approval or a human-only path applies.
- 06
Receipt
Executed or rejected steps receive a result, time and — where possible — undo.
C0 bis C4
Responsibility rises with consequence.
The class does not describe how impressive a feature is. It describes how much effect it may have and who must make the final decision.
Consequence class
Suggest
Puts information in context and recommends a next step.
A human decides and acts.
Consequence class
After your approval
Prepares a real change.
Preview and explicit approval before execution.
Consequence class
Within your boundary
May act only within a predefined, reversible boundary.
Daily budget, live permission, receipt and undo; never on behalf of other people.
Consequence class
Human only
Payment, medicine, law, identity or particularly sensitive safety.
Clarity may prepare, but not execute autonomously.
A reversible C2 action · Example
See first. Then decide.
A preview makes the intended change concrete before it runs. This example shows a bounded, reversible route — not a blanket promise for every action.

Safeguards that remain visible in the route
Four states. Not four footnotes.
Preview
Shows what is intended to change and which area is affected before a real change.
Your approval
A C2 action runs only after your explicit approval.
Receipt
The result remains visible as a traceable step — even when execution was declined.
Undo
For supported reversible changes, undo belongs to the route and is not mentioned only in small print.
C3 · Within your boundary
Autonomy needs a smaller box, not more trust.
C3 may act only inside a reversible boundary set in advance. The technical control contract requires a daily budget, live permission, a receipt and undo — and never permits this route for other people.
BoundarySet in advance
- Daily budgetRequired
- Live permissionRequired
- Receipt and undoRequired
- For other peopleNot permitted
C4
Human only.
Clarity may prepare steps involving payment, medicine, law, identity or particularly sensitive security, but may not execute them autonomously.

Global Stop
One central route to stop immediately.
Global Stop belongs to the target design for the next generation of Clarity. It will be called available only after the complete route has been reviewed. Until then, this presentation is explicitly a preview.

- Purpose
- Centrally interrupt supported autonomous action routes
A useful action remains an accountable action.
The AI route, consequence class and technical state can be reviewed separately.
