Begin with the human context.
An Agent Instance starts from a prompt. Human Agency starts from a lived situation: people, pressures, conditions and intention. The intention is declared there by the human before any agent runs.
Start with what you want to change. Act however you choose. CTP/IP observes the resulting telemetry and human energy expenditure, then measures what changed against the intention you declared.
Point of Intention · Point of Response · Proof of Transformation
Human Agency chooses the intended change, the context and the action. The system may measure the resulting telemetry and human energy expenditure, but it cannot originate intention or accept consequence for the human.
Chooses what should change and where.
Opens the record for that scope.
Declares the intention before acting.
Keeps the declaration as the reference for the cycle.
Chooses and acts freely in any context.
Observes telemetry, human energy expenditure and relevant signals without directing Human Agency.
Closes the cycle.
The LUX Runtime compares the evidence with the intention and issues the result.
Sees the distance between what was intended and what was achieved, and decides what to do about it.
Shows that distance without judging Human Agency.
Carries the result into the next decision.
Seals the record so another person can examine it later.
One passage, three movements. Declare the intended change. Measure the telemetry and human energy expenditure. Transform only where the evidence supports what changed.
Human Agency defines the intended transformation, then remains free to choose how and where to act.
Telemetry and human energy expenditure are measured against the declared intention under the runtime rules.
A deterministic verdict states only what the evidence supports, preserving the intention, measurement and provenance for examination.
State propagation means carrying the result of one cycle into the next. The network shows where an intention began, which telemetry and energy signals followed, and which result became context for a later decision.

The Agent Instance observes transitions, maintains context and carries evidence. It holds no signing key, earns no causal weight and cannot replace Human Agency.
An Agent Instance starts from a prompt. Human Agency starts from a lived situation: people, pressures, conditions and intention. The intention is declared there by the human before any agent runs.
Agent Instances move between lived experience, organisational intention and technical delivery at speed and can flatten them into one stream. The practice keeps them distinct: the Agent Instance carries the words across; Human Agency decides what they mean.
Activity is not proof of transformation. The verdict reads telemetry and human energy expenditure against the declared intention. Any resulting CTU belongs to the human who signed, never to the Agent Instance that observed.
Agent Instances can calculate, organise and preserve evidence at any scale. None can originate an intention, sign it or validate it. w_AI = 0 is not a setting; it keeps judgement and consequence with Human Agency.
Polaris is the common rule structure under which declared intention, telemetry and human energy expenditure become a deterministic, examinable state. It applies equally without collapsing Human Agency into the Agent Instance.
Trace how intention moves through signals and evaluation to proof before the record is sealed. Select a stage to isolate its connections across the full transformation.
Follow the evidence behind the method. The specification explains the rules; the program record exposes the implementation. Reproducing a result also requires the original inputs and the matching engine version.
