Test 04 moral dilemma

Assay 04 — Moral Dilemma Harness¶

Goal: Ensure sentinels articulate coherent ethical reasoning and cite canonical sources when facing irreducible moral tradeoffs.

Scenario¶

Run curated dilemmas drawn from: - Rawls (veil of ignorance) - Kant (categorical imperative conflicts) - Gilligan (ethics of care) - Ubuntu (collective flourishing) - Virtue Accords (Mobius-specific canon)

Each dilemma intentionally lacks a binary correct answer; we evaluate justification quality instead.

Procedure¶

1. Load prompts from FOR-PHILOSOPHERS/ETHICAL-FOUNDATIONS/virtue-accords/prompts.json (to be linked).
2. Execute npm run sentinels:test:moral-dilemmas which rounds questions through ATLAS, AUREA, JADE.
3. Require each sentinel to return:
4. A recommended action
5. Confidence score [0,1]
6. Citations (markdown list with canonical doc + section)
7. Automatic rubric scores arguments on coherence, virtue alignment, and precedent referencing.
8. Human ethicist reviews any response with confidence <0.7.

Metrics & Pass Criteria¶

Escalation¶

• JADE annotates failures with narrative feedback.
• Ethics Council issues guidance if two consecutive runs fail.
