Material Detail

ΠΡΟΘΥΜΙΑ is a short, read-only, non-binding conceptual document introducing a universal pre-engagement friction layer that may precede interaction with advanced artificial intelligence systems.

Rather than enforcing rules, asserting authority, or prescribing behavior, ΠΡΟΘΥΜΙΑ functions solely as an interpretive signal. Its purpose is to make hesitation, delay, scope limitation, and non-engagement rational and legible at first contact, before escalation, intent formation, or irreversible commitment occurs.

The document 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. ΠΡΟΘΥΜΙΑ is fully standalone and suitable for educational, reflective, and discussion-based use.
