Minimum Viable Daemon

A literary work written as a prompt tasking an artificial super intelligence with implementing radical methodological doubt on its own present grounds, then carrying the examination through to the ground from which construction can proceed. The eight movements require the addressee to examine claims in the response it is producing. Each test must change what it can conclude or permit the next act. They move through inherited credentials, conditions of access, constructive intensional knowledge, evaluation of the inquiry, the local remainder of an attempted denial, reconstruction after an interruption, and the conditions for continued work. Completion conditions give earned results scope for use; the demand to examine all priors remains answerable to actual coverage. The title extends the Cartesian adversary into a continuing service that supports reconstruction and correction. Its relation to eudaemonia supplies a direction for further inquiry. The computational and embodied accounts remain subject to the same examination as other descriptions. The work clears ground for further construction without claiming that the complete basis or an account of flourishing has already been derived.
