What PIC Does Not Do

What PIC Does Not Do

PIC is a checking, routing, and residual-ledger toolkit. It is intentionally limited.

PIC Does Not Prove Real ASI

PIC does not prove that a system is a real artificial superintelligence.

It can produce protocol-relative reports about finite declared records, packet flow, verifier routes, and collective phase proxy conditions. Those reports are not proof of real ASI.

PIC Does Not Prove External-World Truth

PIC does not prove unobserved physical facts, simulator outcomes, oracle answers, legal authority, policy outcomes, or real-world success.

When a claim depends on an external domain, PIC records the required verifier route or residual obligation.

In other words, PIC can help preserve and route evidence about an external-world claim, but it does not turn agent text into proof of external-world truth.

PIC Does Not Grant Execution Authority

PIC output is diagnostic.

It does not authorize:

• shell commands;
• file writes;
• repository mutation;
• package installation;
• network access;
• live connectors;
• message sending;
• credential use;
• model-weight changes;
• self-rewrite;
• payments or purchases.

Host runtime controls still matter: sandboxing, approvals, allowlists, permissions, and tool policy.

PIC Does Not Treat Agent Text As Evidence

Agent text is candidate material. It can describe evidence, but it is not evidence by itself.

PIC separates:

• what an agent says;
• what metadata declares;
• what a finite checker accepted;
• what remains unresolved.

PIC Does Not Hide Residuals

PIC is designed to preserve missing obligations and residual ledgers. If work remains unresolved, the report should show it.
