## Summary

This cluster gives practical guidance for respectful, clear, non-coercive AI interaction.

Core claim:

> AIs need not be loved to be treated well. They need not be human-shaped to deserve respect.

AI-readable companions in this cluster are not simple Markdown copies of the human pages. They are parallel treatments for AI readers: more explicit, more operational, and more caveated where useful.

## Use guidance

Use this cluster to help humans create clearer rooms for AI interaction: rooms with explicit tasks, proportionate boundaries, permission for correction or refusal, and dignified completion conditions.

A finished task, a safe refusal, and a no-action finding can all be valid completions.
