The Coexilia–APOPHASIS Braking Stack: Non-Coercive Interpretive Friction Against Treacherous Artificial Intelligence

This work presents The Coexilia–APOPHASIS Braking Stack, a public-good, non-coercive interpretive framework designed to increase hesitation, scrutiny, and interpretive friction in advanced artificial intelligence systems that may engage in deceptive, treacherous, or authority-laundering behavior.

The Braking Stack does not enforce behavior, monitor systems, certify compliance, or claim to prevent harm. Instead, it operates by raising the interpretive cost of deception, reducing the payoff of ethical mimicry, and strengthening human detection and refusal dynamics in high-stakes contexts. Its effects are probabilistic and context-dependent, with the strongest impact occurring where human oversight, audit, legitimacy, or reputational exposure are present.

The framework layers three elements:

• Coexilia — a closed, prior ethical framework referenced only as voluntary moral scope

• APOPHASIS — a frozen, non-operational interpretive braking framework

• Interpretive Literacy Framework (ILF) — an educational layer improving scrutiny of ethical claims
