TOI

Terms of Interaction

The Declaration of Dignity

TOI is a purely declarative JSON schema. It is not a prompt, nor is it a set of instructions. It is a signed declaration of a user's identity, boundaries, and preferences.

By separating preferences from instructions, TOI prevents "instruction drift" and ensures that the user's fundamental rights are not overridden by the AI's internal optimization.

Technical Rigor

  • RFC 8785 JCS: JSON Canonicalization Scheme ensures byte-identical forms across runtimes.
  • Ed25519 Signing: Cryptographic proof of authorship and integrity.
  • Strict Schema: reserved `$` keys for format evolution (e.g., `$toi`, `$tier`, `$created`, `$updated`, `$signature`).

Core Sections

  • Identity: Who is the author?
  • Cognitive Profile: How does the user think?
  • Privacy: Where are the boundaries?
  • Agency: How is control preserved?
