Method

CognioEngine’s method is the thinking behind Preservative AI: a way to examine what a document leaves out, whose perspective is missing, and where responsibility becomes unclear.

This collection sets out the method, its principles and refusals, eight lenses, linguistic diagnostics, practical tools and limitations. The theory now lives here at PAIchip, alongside the proposal to express it in hardware.
