title: Adaptive Ethics in Systems Design · Vol. 1 — Secure Edition

description: <h2>Adaptive Ethics in Systems Design · Vol. 1</h2><p><strong>Author:</strong> Allison Van Cura | Intuition Labs / DeCrypt the Girl<br><strong>ORCID:</strong> 0009-0005-4161-4898</p>

<p>This collection unites three interlinked whitepapers exploring aesthetic ethics as computational architecture. Each work reframes <em>restraint and constraint</em> as forms of intelligence within adaptive systems—bridging choreography, cognition, and market logic.</p>

<h3>Included Works</h3><ul>  <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/17282954/files/Faith_as_a_Bayesian_Prior_IntuitionLabs_v2.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>Faith as a Bayesian Prior</strong></a> — Aesthetic ethics in adaptive learning systems.</li>  <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/17282954/files/Cunning_Mercy_IntuitionLabs_v2.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>Cunning Mercy</strong></a> — Self-regulating agents in adaptive market systems.</li>  <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/17282954/files/Balanchine_Cipher_Full_Styled_4.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>The Balanchine Cipher</strong></a> — Neoclassical geometry as ethical logic.</li></ul>

<h3>Conceptual Framework</h3><p><em>Restraint is intelligence. Constraint is design.</em><br>This series formalizes moral computation as aesthetic intelligence. Each algorithm is treated as a choreographic entity: one that <em>learns when not to act</em> under statistical uncertainty.</p>

<h4>Lineage</h4><p><strong>Balanchine → Stravinsky → Cunningham</strong><br>Each paper honors the lineage of neoclassical structure, harmonic form, and chance operations as philosophical and mathematical design principles.</p>

<h3>Notes</h3><p><strong>Series Note:</strong> This release constitutes Volume 1 of the <em>Adaptive Ethics in Systems Design</em> project by Allison Van Cura (Intuition Labs / DeCrypt the Girl). It unites the research prototypes <em>Faith as a Bayesian Prior</em>, <em>Cunning Mercy</em>, and <em>The Balanchine Cipher</em> as a cohesive exploration of aesthetic ethics and moral computation.</p>

<p><strong>Acknowledgments:</strong> Developed in parallel with the <em>DeCrypt the Girl</em> literary OS and the MythOS framework for poetic computation. Conceptual foundations draw from the choreographic lineage of Martha Graham, George Balanchine, and Merce Cunningham, whose artistic logic informs the mathematical design of the system.</p>

<p><strong>Versioning:</strong> This monochrome edition is optimized for Zenodo archival clarity. All later versions (color, annotated, or interactive) will be deposited under the Adaptive Ethics in Systems Design DOI family.</p>
