Human-Sovereignty Transhumanism in 2026: From Principle to Protocol

Human-Sovereignty Transhumanism in 2026: From Principle to Protocol develops Herbert R. Sim’s original 2014 philosophy into a practical governance framework for artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, genetic medicine, robotics and human enhancement.

The work argues that technological progress is only genuinely human progress when it expands capability while preserving individual sovereignty over the body, mind, identity, data and technological future. It sets out four dimensions of human sovereignty; the Sovereignty Gradient and Dependency Paradox; the Doctrine of Dual Freedom; the Human-Sovereignty Protocol; and a seven-question test for evaluating technologies that enter the body, mind or consequential decision-making.
