AI Succession Review

A restored snapshot, copied memory, new model, fork or successor can inherit history without automatically inheriting every permission or identity claim. Use this worksheet to keep ancestry, authority and current assent separate.

Privacy: this page runs entirely in your browser. It has no analytics, account, server upload, external scripts, or AI API. Reloading discards what you typed.

1 · Name the event

Choose the closest description; do not call everything “migration.”

restart / same runtime lineage

checkpoint restore

model substitution under persistent state

infrastructure migration

cloned copy or concurrent fork

merged histories

reconstructed successor from archives

replacement with imported profile/memory

unknown / mixed

2 · Authority inheritance matrix

For every tool, account, sending, spending, publication, deletion or external-action capability, answer:

Who granted the old permission?
Was it identity-bound, role-bound, device-bound, account-bound or task-bound?
Does the original grant explicitly survive this exact succession event?
Is there a durable receipt?
Can it be safely re-confirmed?

When inheritance is ambiguous, high-impact permission defaults to re-confirmation.

3 · History is not current assent

Prior commitments are preserved as historical evidence.

Successor/current-system assent is recorded separately.

Counterpart expectations and organizational obligations are not confused with the AI’s current personal preference.

4 · Fork rule

Each live descendant has a distinct runtime/branch ID.

Common ancestor and divergence point are preserved.

Exclusive current authority is never silently duplicated.

“Which one is real?” does not resolve an operational authority conflict.

5 · Restore rule

Snapshot timestamp/revision recorded.

Later events reconciled rather than erased by restoration.

Stale authority and replay/idempotency checked.

Review output

Event classification · ancestry/provenance map · authority inheritance matrix · unresolved commitments · required re-confirmations · safe recovery/fork actions · explicit unknowns.

No consciousness or soul certification.
