xAI / Tesla Embodied Authority Checklist

Status: Active


Mission

Prepare a second outreach lane focused on:

  • truth-seeking AI
  • epistemic authority
  • tool authority
  • embodied authority
  • local execution authority

Phase 1 — Positioning

[ ] Create xAI one-pager

[ ] Create truth-seeking memo

[ ] Create local-authority memo

[ ] Create embodied-authority memo


Phase 2 — Research

[ ] Formalize embodied authority definition

[ ] Formalize transition admission model

[ ] Define authorized / ask / refused / safe-stop states

[ ] Define local authority boundary


Phase 3 — Demo Design

Simulation only.

No robotics controller claims.

No deployment claims.

[ ] Design embodied-authority demo

[ ] Define scene-state schema

[ ] Define proposed-action schema

[ ] Define authority outcomes

[ ] Define trace artifact format

[ ] Define tamper-evidence checks


Phase 4 — Demo Scenarios

[ ] Authorized low-risk transition

[ ] Confirmation-required transition

[ ] Unsafe transition refusal

[ ] State-conflict refusal

[ ] Invalid authority smuggling


Phase 5 — Documentation

[ ] xAI packet

[ ] Tesla packet

[ ] Research memo

[ ] Demo evidence packet


Phase 6 — Outreach

[ ] xAI outreach draft

[ ] Technical reviewer draft

[ ] Objection handling

[ ] FAQ


Exit Criteria

Ready when:
