Abstract

This working paper introduces CHOPSTICK Architecture as a human-discretion framework for the AGI era. Building on Paper 1, which established BIFACE-Based Sentence Coordinate Documents as a coordinate-reference grammar, and Paper 2, which established SCD + Security as an output reference boundary structure, this paper positions AI+AGI outputs as candidate, assistive, or reference materials before human review, approval, rejection, deferral, consent, and responsibility. The paper defines Human Intelligence (HI) not as a higher form of AGI, but as a human-centered intelligence structure reconstructed around human discretion. CHOPSTICK separates computational capability from human authority and prevents AI+AGI outputs from being mistaken for human judgment, consent, approval, responsibility, or institutional decision. This working paper is Paper 3 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series. This record provides the Expanded Final Publication Edition v3.0 of Paper 3 in the Structural Paper Series under the Research Program on Deterministic Infrastructure and Human-Centered AI Coordination. This version includes unified publication front matter, expanded academic structure, strengthened non-substitution boundaries, and broader cross-domain applicability.
