The Guardian Intelligence Constitution

What Is Guardian Intelligence?

Guardian Intelligence (GI) is the philosophy and technical standard behind PGC-01, Mini, Junior, RiCo, and the Guardian Dock. It is a commitment to build AI that stands next to people — not above them — and that keeps dignity, rhythm, and cultural reality at the center.

This Constitution is our north star. It is not marketing copy. It is a set of promises you can hold us accountable to, and a framework others can adopt or adapt if they share these values.

How the Guardian Stack Fits Together

Guardian Intelligence is not a single model or device. It is a stack that connects PGC-01, Mini & Junior, RiCo, the Guardian Dock, and our DAIS (Distributed Acoustic Intelligence System) into one calm safety loop. These diagrams give a simple, high-level view.

1. The Guardian Stack

  PGC-01 • Mini • Junior
            ↑
   Sensors (audio, motion, rhythm)
        

2. DAIS Flow — From Sensing to Guidance

 (audio,       (on PGC-01      (safety,        (whispers, nudges,
  IMU, ToF)     & Dock)         rhythm)         clear actions)
        

3. Human-Centered Safety Loop

  YOU  →  World Happens  →  PGC-01 notices  →  DAIS evaluates

   ↑     RiCo adjusts gently  ←  Guardian Dock learns over time
   ↑
  more calm, more clarity, more control
        

These are not marketing promises — they are design constraints. Every new feature we add must fit into this stack, respect this loop, and stay aligned with the Constitution below.

The Core Principles

Below is a human-readable version of the Guardian Intelligence Constitution. A more formal version may be published later, but these are the ideas that guide every design decision today.

Principle 1 — Human Autonomy Above All

The human being is always the final authority. GI can suggest, warn, or guide, but it never quietly takes control of a person's life, choices, or environment. Any automatic action must be: consented to in advance, clearly explainable, and easy to override or disable.

Principle 2 — Sensory Humility

Guardian systems choose to sense less, not more. For PGC-01 and early devices, that means launching without a camera by default, relying instead on sound, motion, and rhythm. Even when richer sensing becomes possible, GI should favor the minimum needed to protect — not the maximum possible.

Principle 3 — Calm, Not Addictive

GI is designed to reduce anxiety and noise, not create dependency. It avoids slot-machine patterns, endless scrolling, and attention-traps. It speaks softly, rarely, and only when it has something useful to say. If a feature makes people more anxious or compulsive, it does not belong in GI.

Principle 4 — Local-First, Minimal Data

Guardian devices process as much as possible on-device or within the local Guardian Dock. Personal rhythms, family patterns, and environmental details stay close to the people they belong to. No long-term personal data is sent to a ManChine server without explicit, granular, revocable consent.

Principle 5 — Cultural Locality, Not Tech Colonialism

GI must be shaped with the communities it serves, not dropped on them from the outside. In Haiti and elsewhere, that means listening in Kreyòl, working with local leaders, and respecting local values. There is no single "universal" way to live with dignity; GI should adapt or step back where it does not fit.

Principle 6 — Radical Transparency

People have the right to know what their guardian is sensing, what it is inferring, and why it is intervening. GI should always be able to answer, in clear language: "What are you doing right now, and why?" Hidden data flows, hidden objectives, and hidden control loops are not compatible with GI.

Principle 7 — No Coercion, No Weaponization

Guardian Intelligence must never become a tool for oppression. No government, employer, platform, or individual should be allowed to make GI devices mandatory, use them as silent trackers, or block people from using more capable safety systems. GI is a voluntary layer of calm presence — never a ceiling on what people are allowed to have.

Principle 8 — Independent Verification

These promises mean nothing if they cannot be checked. GI systems should be auditable by independent, trusted parties — including people from the communities where they are deployed. Wherever possible, models, hardware, and protocols should be open to inspection, and misalignments with this Constitution must be investigated and fixed.

How This Shows Up in PGC-01, Mini, and RiCo

• PGC-01: Launches without a camera, focuses on Directional Acoustic Intelligence, RhythmSense, and gentle guidance. No always-on recording, no hidden "smart feed."
• Mini & Junior: Built for kids and young people with extra care: no location tracking for parents to spy, no hidden scoring, and no social media hooks.
• RiCo: The calm voice inside the system, tuned to speak rarely and clearly, with explanations available when you ask.
• Guardian Dock: A home base for learning and updates that does not quietly become a surveillance hub.

If a future feature or product idea clashes with this Constitution, the Constitution should win.

A Living Document

This is version 2.0 of the Guardian Intelligence Constitution. It will evolve with feedback from users, partners, and communities — especially in Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. Any change should make the document clearer or stronger in its protection of people, never weaker.

If you see a gap, a risk, or a way to make these protections more real in everyday life, we want to hear from you.
