Empathy as Frame-Preserving Interpretation
Authors/Creators
Description
Some empathic failures occur when systems preserve a user’s words but discard the bounded relational frame that made those words meaningful. This bridge note argues for frame-preserving interpretation in stratified agent stacks: notice frame cues, form provisional frames with provenance and retention limits, shape bounded responses, and require explicit governance before promotion to durable memory or authority.
Notes
Note: This bridge paper is part of the broader Spanda architectural framework, a stratified, constraint-governed agent architecture for handling weak signals, provisional interpretation, bounded response shaping, memory discipline, and governed consequence across artificial-agent systems.
