Democratic power
Representation, voting access, district design, emergency authority, money, and the rules that decide whose consent counts.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRPower moves only through visible authority, contestable rules, and enforceable limits.
PROJECT SHADOW 1.0.1 · CORRECTED R1 REFERENCE · PRELIVE · 2026-08-17
Project Shadow 1.0.1 contains no Myth package. Generic Myth v0.2.0 and Full-Canon Myth v0.3.5 are separate optional companions; both default off, neither is required by R1, and neither can authorize action or change an R1 result. ARM remains a civic repair workshop, not a certification service; publication transfers no authority and is not operational deployment, efficacy, safety, certification, a legal-compliance finding, permission to act, or a global green.

Repair the mechanism that keeps making the harm.
A reform is not a repair merely because it is well intended. The mechanism, authority, burden, safeguard, implementation path, and effectiveness test must fit the diagnosed failure.
SIX CONNECTED DOMAINS
No domain gets to hide its externalities in another.
Democratic rules shape public capacity. Economic power shapes political voice. Information systems shape consent. Rights shape the limits. AI can accelerate every one of those systems.
Truth & information
Public claims, records, corrections, media incentives, propaganda, platform design, and synthetic content.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRImportant claims carry sources, state uncertainty, preserve corrections, and survive adversarial review.
Economic power
Work, wages, monopoly, housing, health, debt, procurement, ownership, and the ability to refuse unsafe conditions.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRThe people absorbing risk gain bargaining power, recovery, and a practical exit.
Rights & justice
Due process, equal protection, policing, detention, surveillance, disability, privacy, and access to remedy.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRNo consequential process closes the challenge path or hides who authorized the result.
Public capacity
Agencies, staffing, service delivery, emergency response, maintenance, and the quiet machinery that makes rights real.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRServices are measured by access, reliability, correction speed, and whether the least powerful can use them.
AI & technology
Training data, models, agents, ranking, monitoring, vendor claims, automated action, and institutional adoption.
DEFINITION OF REPAIRSystems are scoped, instrumented, independently tested, interruptible, appealable, and retired when control fails.
RUN ACROSS EVERY PROPOSAL
Four maps prevent narrow fixes.
A repair can succeed inside one department while exporting cost, risk, or coercion to another. These cross-cuts keep the whole consequence chain visible.
POWER MAP
Who decides, funds, implements, benefits, audits, appeals, and can stop the action?
BURDEN MAP
Who waits, pays, proves eligibility, loses privacy, accepts risk, or lacks a practical exit?
AI MAP
Where do data, models, rankings, interfaces, or agents alter judgment, access, surveillance, or scale?
RECEIPT MAP
What public evidence would show implementation, distribution, failure, correction, and recurrence?
REQUIRED RECEIPTOne mechanism owner, one verification owner, one challenge path, and no hidden transfer of harm.
