abstract: >-
  A versioned research core for pluralistic AI governance. The active release
  reports a distributive-justice pilot for exact AI configurations and retains
  exploratory and withdrawn work in a transparent research record. Version 0.4
  documents the next planned experiment: a 60-country attitudes audit using
  external human microdata, full ordinal distributions, joint response patterns,
  prompt robustness, and exact configuration tracking. It reports no results
  from that future study and does not redistribute the third-party human data.
