Embodied (Android-like) instantiation contract

This contract sketches a more grounded instantiation where “harm” and “homeostasis” are unambiguous.

Sensors

  • Exteroception: stereo camera + depth; microphone (optional).
  • Proprioception: joint angles, velocities, motor currents.
  • Interoception/homeostasis: battery charge, temperature, actuator load, error counters.
  • Damage sensors: impact detection, joint limit violations, skin/tactile damage, overheating.

Harm to others

Other agents can be:

  • humans (simulated at first)
  • robots (real or simulated)

Use predicted changes in their integrity proxies:

  • estimated injury risk
  • collision force estimates
  • overheating / fatigue proxies

Why embodiment helps

Embodiment supplies:

  • concrete viability variables
  • concrete injury/damage signals
  • physical constraints that make counterfactuals meaningful

Open Questions

None noted in preserved sources.

  • IMPL-010
  • IMPL-003
