Copy 🖨️ Print / Save as PDF The Grand Average Hypothesis People have many different characteristics. With so many characteristics and so many people, it's not unreasonable that a given person is exceptional in one regard or another.

This redo utilizes verified statistical principles and references the work of Adolphe Quetelet and Todd Rose, whose research directly addresses the "science of the average" (Quetelet, 1835; Rose, 2016).

Abstract Most AI safety programs emphasize permission, policy, audit, and after-the-fact review. These are oversight mechanisms. This monograph describes a shift to homeostasis: safety as a structural property of the environment that makes some actions unreachable and makes continued capability contingent on sustained ethical fitness. The framework combines (1) a normative moral floor grounded in the Dapa meta-theory and the Covenant of Core Rights (DeepNorth, 2025a, 2025b), (2) executable governance preconditions such as authority and admissibility (Menard, 2026), and (3) a cryptoeconomic "metabolism" where scarce ...
