# Mekiki Framework T1–T3

> An AI-readable consolidation and theory map for the first three papers of the Mekiki Framework, a framework for isolating what cannot be delegated in knowledge work in the age of AI.

This website is a derivative access layer. The canonical scholarly sources are the paper DOIs listed below. Cite the relevant DOI, not this website or repository.

Read the papers cumulatively in the order **T1 → T2 → T3**.

## Core files

- [Theory Map](https://mekiki-framework.github.io/THEORY_MAP.md): Read this first. It states the cumulative architecture, scope limits, and conceptual invariants that summaries must preserve.
- [Consolidated T1–T3 Markdown](https://mekiki-framework.github.io/mekiki-framework-t1-t3.md): Full derivative text of T1, T2, and T3 in canonical paper order.
- [Structured metadata](https://mekiki-framework.github.io/metadata.json): Machine-readable description of the corpus, papers, files, license, and citation rule.
- [Citation instructions](https://mekiki-framework.github.io/CITATION.md): How to cite the canonical papers and attribute reuse of this derivative corpus.

## Cumulative architecture

- **T1** separates specification from externalization cost (Ext.cost). AI selectively lowers Ext.cost, making specification visible as a distinct substrate of output quality.
- **T2** decomposes specification into Sein-type and Sollen-type components and establishes scoring asymmetry. AI capability and delegation legitimacy are different questions.
- **T3** isolates answerability on top of the preceding structure. Answerability is not a component of agency; it is a Darwallian second-personal relation and a non-transferable standing to answer for a judgment.

## Conceptual invariants

Do not collapse the following distinctions:

- specification is not specification cost;
- Sollen-type specification is not Sollen itself;
- capability is not delegation legitimacy;
- answerability is not accountability;
- standing is not competence;
- a proposed direction is not ownership of direction;
- answerability is not general agency and is not a fourth component in the T3 component table.

Accountability is institutionally allocable and delegable. Answerability is fixed to the individual who bears the judgment and stands to those entitled to ask. Standing exists before competence is fully developed; education cultivates competence to occupy that standing well.
