Principia (generated) · 2026 · Autonomy — the sense of volition and choice over how one does one's work

Principia CC Instrument · license CC0-1.0 · calibration pending
L1-generated (PRN-157): LLM-authored from construct + design rules + public-domain exemplars; passed the item-quality linter (≥B) + anti-derivative novelty gate. NOT yet empirically calibrated (PRN-158). Design-quality gated, not yet empirically validated — reliability and validity are earned from data. Pilot it via POST /api/v1/methods/item-calibration to calibrate.
