Abstract

Interpretive Reference Libraries (IRLs) is a non-authoritative, read-only, interpretive reference document. This work provides structured prompts and interpretive lenses to support human examination of reasoning, claims, and justifications presented by artificial systems or human actors. It is designed to increase interpretive clarity and scrutiny without directing outcomes, enforcing behavior, certifying alignment, or guaranteeing safety. IRLs does not implement, extend, amend, or reopen any prior framework. It is advisory, non-coercive, and interpretive only. All judgment, decision-making, and responsibility remain with human readers. This document is published as a final, frozen artifact. An identical archival copy is permanently hosted on Internet Archive:https://archive.org/details/interpretive-reference-libraries-irls A read-only GitHub mirror is available at:https://github.com/solisaegis/interpretive-reference-libraries
