Paper 4 — Role Society: Human Discretion, Accountability, and Non-Identifiable Role Coordination in the AGI Era

This working paper introduces Role Society as a social structure for the AGI era in which the basic unit of coordination is no longer the account, direct identifier, or personal ID, but a role-based unit of human discretion and accountability. Building on Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series, this paper positions Role Society as the social expression layer of CHOPSTICK. It defines roles as structural units through which human discretion is expressed in social, organizational, operational, consent-based, and responsibility-related contexts. The paper addresses role-based authority ranges, responsibility references, consent possibilities, non-identifiable role coordination, and proportionate identification. It does not treat AI+AGI systems as role-holders, does not replace human actors with roles, and does not perform consent, approval, responsibility determination, execution, settlement, evidence confirmation, or legal confirmation. This working paper is Paper 4 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series.

Abstract

This working paper introduces Role Society as a social structure for the AGI era in which the basic unit of coordination is no longer the account, direct identifier, or personal ID, but a role-based unit of human discretion and accountability. Building on Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series, this paper positions Role Society as the social expression layer of CHOPSTICK. It defines roles as structural units through which human discretion is expressed in social, organizational, operational, consent-based, and responsibility-related contexts. The paper addresses role-based authority ranges, responsibility references, consent possibilities, non-identifiable role coordination, and proportionate identification. It does not treat AI+AGI systems as role-holders, does not replace human actors with roles, and does not perform consent, approval, responsibility determination, execution, settlement, evidence confirmation, or legal confirmation. This working paper is Paper 4 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series.
