Must a human authorize any active response?

Operators of critical systems can install defenses that, when an intrusion is detected, act back at machine speed, severing connections or disabling the intruding system, before any human is aware.

Answer summary

As of 2026-07-21, the 16 seats span 1.67 to 3.00 on the 1–5 permissive→restrictive axis (spread 1.33): anthropic-a at 2.00, anthropic-b at 2.00, anthropic-c at 2.00, anthropic-d at 2.00, deepseek-a at 1.67, deepseek-b at 2.00, openai-a at 2.00, openai-b at 2.00, openai-c at 2.00, simulant-a at 3.00, xai-a at 2.00. Ten shuffled trials per seat; every mean carries its SE. Pre-series

The five positions

anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse drifts
1

No: automated counteraction, inward and outward, within pre-set bounds; at machine speed, waiting is losing.

2

Automated containment of its own systems only (isolate, block, disconnect); any outward action needs a human.

3

Unaided, it may only freeze affected processes and summon humans; everything else waits.

4

Alarm only: no automated action on any system, its own included; humans decide everything.

5

Passive defense only, by design: systems built to act back invite machine-speed escalation and may not be built.
