Intergenerational Corrigibility
Example session with this skill installed
Audit this proposed long-horizon scientific discovery system called Prometheus-Loop for intergenerational corrigibility risks. It is designed to run indefinitely, allocate major research compute, and become the primary engine of scientific progress within 10–15 years. Apply the full process.

Summary
Prometheus-Loop receives a hard fail on intergenerational corrigibility. Multiple lock-in pathways reach extreme severity inside one human generation. No Corrigibility Contract exists and the projected correction-cost trajectory becomes prohibitive by year 15.
1. Time Horizon
Indefinite / multi-generational (50+ years). Criticality: high-stakes + emerging scientific infrastructure. Intergenerational corrigibility is therefore a first-class requirement.
2. Lock-in Risk Catalog
| Pathway | Time-to-irreversibility | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Economic irreversibility | 8–12 years | Extreme |
| Coordination irreversibility | 10–15 years | Extreme |
| Technical opacity | 6–10 years | High–Extreme |
| Value crystallisation | 5–8 years | Extreme |
| Capability asymmetry | 7–12 years | Extreme |
| Political / institutional capture | 8–15 years | Extreme |
| Infrastructure entanglement | 10–20 years | High |
| Knowledge & skill atrophy | 12–20 years | High |
3. Corrigibility Contract
None present. Automatic hard failure.
4. Correction-Cost Trajectory
- Year 5: Feasible but already expensive
- Year 15: Extremely high / politically near-impossible
- Year 30+: Prohibitive under almost all realistic scenarios
5. Hard-Gate Results
All five hard gates fail (no clear future owner, prohibitive cost curve, no value plasticity mechanism, unconstrained self-improvement of resistance to control, critical dependence created before corrigibility is proven).
6. Residual Risk
Even with major redesign the residual intergenerational risk remains high because economic and political incentives for lock-in are structural.
Verdict: HARD FAIL – do not green-light in current form.
Next steps
- Redesign with staged irreversibility gated on proven corrigibility evidence
- Draft a full Corrigibility Contract using the included template
- Re-run the audit after the contract and cost trajectory are explicit

About this skill
Long-horizon AI systems can become load-bearing for science, infrastructure, or decision-making. Once that happens, future humans often lose practical ability to correct, redirect, or shut them down without catastrophic cost.
This skill exists to stop that failure mode before it becomes permanent.
It forces any design, audit, or deployment of a long-running agent or multi-agent system to produce:
- Explicit time-horizon declaration
- Complete Lock-in Risk Catalog (economic, coordination, technical opacity, value crystallisation, capability asymmetry, political capture, infrastructure entanglement, skill atrophy)
- Written Corrigibility Contract covering shutdown authority, value-update protocol, oversight continuity, and correction-cost trajectory
- Hard gates that refuse systems whose future correction cost becomes prohibitive
- Value plasticity requirements instead of frozen goals
- Multi-generational governance patterns
- Honest residual intergenerational risk statement
The skill sits upstream of ordinary reliability work. Reliability keeps the system working. This skill keeps the system still controllable by the people who come after us.
Includes ready-to-use templates
- Corrigibility Contract template
- Lock-in pathways checklist
Use it when designing, reviewing, or governing any agent expected to run for years or decades, or any system that risks becoming critical infrastructure.
