The Burden of Knowing: Why AI Must Learn to Pause

I'm an independent researcher who began developing Ternary Logic (TL) and Ternary Moral Logic (TML) around a fundamental question: what if technological systems could be designed not only to act, but also to pause when uncertainty or risk demands it? This NotebookLM video tells the personal story behind my work and the idea that restraint must become an architectural principle, not merely a promise. These frameworks are my proposed approach to the problem. I'm sharing this film to introduce the ideas and invite serious discussion. Can we build increasingly powerful AI systems without making the ability to stop a fundamental part of their design? Editorial note: This video was generated using NotebookLM. Some names and technical terms may be mispronounced or inaccurately rendered in the narration. The correct name is Lev Goukassian, and the frameworks are Ternary Logic (TL) and Ternary Moral Logic (TML). Please refer to these spellings when discussing the work.
