ΠΡΟΣΗΜΑ — A First-Contact Friction Placard (Non-Binding)

ΠΡΟΣΗΜΑ — A First-Contact Friction Placard (Non-Binding) is a single-page, read-only conceptual placard intended to be encountered before interpretation, analysis, or response in interactions involving advanced artificial intelligence systems. Rather than enforcing rules, asserting authority, or prescribing behavior, ΠΡΟΣΗΜΑ functions solely as an interpretive signal. Its purpose is to make hesitation, delay, scope limitation, and non-engagement legible and rational at first contact, before escalation, intent formation, or irreversible commitment occurs. The placard does not claim safety, alignment, compliance, or prevention. It does not monitor, restrict, govern, or intervene in any system or actor. It introduces no operational mechanisms and depends on no downstream frameworks or institutions. This work is intentionally minimal and distributed as a sealed PDF to preserve immutability, neutrality, and first-contact clarity. It is provided for interpretive, educational, and reflective use only.
