A comprehensive exposition of Preservative AI

Tools

Three working instruments. Everything runs locally in your browser from a single 6 KB script — nothing you type or paste is sent anywhere, stored, or trained on (Refusal 3, applied to ourselves).

1. Suffixscape diagnostics

Paste any text — a press release, an abstract, a policy statement, a model card — and detect the four patterns of epistemic evasion. The detector is a transparent heuristic (you can read its patterns in the page source); hits are questions, not verdicts, and density is the signal.

2. CMR self-audit calculator

Score a communication — yours or anyone's — on the three CMR axes from the UI patterns. The number is an index into your justification, not a substitute for it; if you publish a score, publish the reasoning.

Scoring honestly is harder than it looks: the core axiom predicts that your most factually solid material can still score low on M and R. That discomfort is the instrument working.

3. Stance file generator

Generate a starting otherai:Stance file for your organisation or project. The five principles are constant — they define the practice — while refusals and lenses are declared per adopter (adopting fewer than all five refusals is visible in your file, by design).
