How HF-12 Works
Ambiguity stops the action.
HF-12 does not assume that more automation is always better. It assumes unclear signals should halt high-risk execution.
Fail-Closed AI
Overview
Ambiguity stops the action.
Fail-closed behavior is what keeps money, robotics, and identity systems from running ahead of truth.
Key points
- Human override remains available for critical decisions.
- AI may assist, recommend, and witness, but does not silently self-authorize.
- Ambiguous identity, missing evidence, or missing approvals block release.
- Emergency override and guardian logic sit above autonomous convenience.
