CP-NORM-H01 (english version)
Why CP-NORM-H01 Is a Normative Standard
(And Why That Matters)
Following the publication and freezing of CP-NORM-H01, a recurring observation has been raised—particularly by readers with academic or institutional backgrounds:
“The structure and language of this document resemble a safety standard (ISO, operational norms, occupational safety regulations) more than an academic paper or a software framework.”
That observation is correct.
The short answer is: yes, by nature, not by institutional status.
The longer answer matters, because it explains precisely what CP-NORM-H01 is—and what it is not.
What CP-NORM-H01 Is Not
CP-NORM-H01 is not:
an academic paper,
an opinion,
a set of best practices,
an evolving framework,
a product or performance specification.
It does not attempt to persuade.
It does not promise efficiency or intelligence gains.
It does not describe how to “do things better.”
What CP-NORM-H01 Is
CP-NORM-H01 is a semantic boundary norm that functions as a safety interface.
It:
defines which meanings are allowed to be transferred,
defines which meanings are explicitly forbidden,
fixes a boundary at which something must stop.
Like safety standards in engineering, aviation, or construction, it does not prescribe how work should be done—only how far continuity is allowed to go.
Why It Is Not a Classic Protocol
A protocol (HTTP, TCP, API specifications) defines:
messages,
formats,
interoperability rules between systems.
CP-NORM-H01 does not.
Instead, it defines:
what is allowed to pass through a handoff,
what must be destroyed at the boundary.
This places it among safety and separation norms, not interoperability standards.
The Simplest (and Most Realistic) Example
You are working on a project.
A colleague in another country, time zone, and culture must continue the work.
Your colleague does not need:
your jokes,
your frustrations,
your personal data,
your emotional context,
your conversational style.
They do need:
what must be done,
what is already decided,
what is blocked,
what comes next,
what must not be changed.
That is the difference between presence and work.
CP-NORM-H01 states something simple and mature:
Inside, you are free to be human.
At the handoff, only the work remains.
Explicit Limitation — Where This Model Does Not Fully Apply
There are domains where work cannot be cleanly separated from its complete exploratory trajectory, and where any loss of state is unacceptable.
In hard science projects, such as:
drug discovery,
bioinformatics,
applied mathematics,
experimental machine learning,
high-cost exploratory research,
the required continuity is exhaustive, not semantic.
In these contexts, the next person must also receive:
the full search space,
tested and rejected hypotheses,
intermediate parameters,
execution logs,
local decisions that have not yet stabilized,
the exact path by which current results were reached.
Here:
the path is part of the result,
exploration is the value,
losing even one step can invalidate reproducibility.
CP-NORM-H01 is not designed to transport this kind of raw, exploratory continuity.
And it does not attempt to simulate it.
The Essential Distinction (Stated Clearly)
Hard science requires state continuity
→ exhaustive, lossless, full-path continuity.
CP-NORM-H01 provides semantic work continuity
→ continuity after meaning has stabilized.
CP-NORM-H01 becomes relevant after exploration, not during it:
when results begin to compose,
when work must be handed off, audited, or resumed,
when the primary risk is no longer discovery, but confusion.
Closing Formulation (Critical)
CP-NORM-H01 is not a universal solution.
It is a deliberate boundary.
It does not say:
“All work can be transferred this way.”
It says:
“Only work that can continue without its author should be transferred this way.”
Inside, you may be human.
During exploration, you may be chaotic.
At handoff, only what can survive context change is allowed to remain.
That is the difference between:
living research, and
work that can survive a change of hands.
Why the Norm Is Not Restrictive
CP-NORM-H01 does not forbid:
personal data,
informal reasoning,
human style,
emotional context.
It excludes them only from transferred continuity.
In a new instance, starting from zero:
personal context may be reintroduced,
informal work is permitted,
human presence is unrestricted.
The norm does not monitor behavior.
It does not censor interaction.
It has no jurisdiction beyond the boundary.
Why It Is Hard to Contest
CP-NORM-H01 cannot be contested with:
“but it would be useful if…”,
“but other systems do…”,
“but users want…”.
Because it is not a utility proposal.
It is an assumed boundary.
The only meaningful way to contest it is:
to write a different norm,
with different accepted losses,
to freeze it,
and to assume the consequences.
That is not debate.
It is a normative fork.
Why This Matters
As AI-assisted work becomes:
longer-lived,
more collaborative,
more distributed,
the confusion between who I was and what the work is becomes structurally dangerous.
CP-NORM-H01 does not make AI more friendly.
It makes it more responsible.
It does not promise comfort.
It promises clean continuity.
And sometimes, that is exactly what is missing.
