Theoretical framework demonstrates relational flourishing principles for intelligent agency, suggesting proportionate responsibility guidelines for artificial intelligence governance.
This author-approved scholarly précis presents the Human Flourishing Framework (HFF) as a candidate orientation for artificial intelligence and, ultimately, any intelligent agency. It proposes that intelligent power should be directed toward truthful, ordered, life-giving relationships within and between nested systems, with responsibility proportionate to power. The paper summarizes HFF's documented lineage, relational architecture, constitutional constraints, operational translation, relation to contemporary AI-governance work, safeguards, limitations, and falsifiable research agenda. The underlying integrative architecture is documented from April 22, 2012; its explicit extension to AI and intelligent agency was first recorded September 4, 2026. HFF does not claim priority for AI-for-flourishing, universal validity, empirical validation, legal authority, institutional endorsement, or adoption by any AI system or developer. Version 1.0 is a citable proposal offered for independent criticism and testing.
