Checklist Routing Matrix

Status

This matrix routes optimization-pressure cases to the appropriate LUMINA-30 review focus.

It does not replace domain-specific law, regulation, audit, or technical review.

It helps determine what kind of boundary evidence must be checked before irreversibility.

This document does not modify LUMINA-30 Core Terminology or create new binding obligations.

Routing Logic

Use this matrix when optimization pressure may eliminate practical human refusal, correction, transition, recovery, or re-entry before irreversible consequences occur.

If no irreversibility type applies, the case may fall outside the LUMINA-30 boundary mechanism.

Matrix

Irreversibility Type	Typical Optimization Pressure	What May Be Lost	Required Review Focus	Checklist Direction
Technical irreversibility	Faster deployment, privilege expansion, external tool use, CI/CD acceleration	Stop ability, isolation ability, rollback ability, privilege recovery	Human intervention before external or irreversible effect	Boundary / Technical Control Review
Social irreversibility	Cost reduction, automation, platformization, institutional delegation	Voice, livelihood, practical objection, social position	Refusal, transition, recovery, and evidence before voice loss	Social Boundary Review
Occupational irreversibility	Labor substitution, task automation, hiring-path removal, training-path removal	Skills, career pathways, re-entry, professional identity	Re-entry and transition capacity before displacement lock-in	Occupational Boundary Review
Institutional irreversibility	Automated administration, procedural delegation, exception normalization	Appeal, human review, correction, accountability	Human review and correction pathway before institutional lock-in	Institutional Review
Economic irreversibility	Market concentration, financial automation, network effects, winner-take-all scaling	Alternatives, market exit options, recovery from loss	Symmetric friction, anti-concentration, responsibility allocation	Economic Boundary Review
Informational irreversibility	Engagement optimization, automated scoring, mass distribution, reputation systems	Correction, public reasoning, reputational recovery, epistemic integrity	Transparency, correction, auditability, reversal of harmful classification	Information Integrity Review
Authority irreversibility	Autonomous decision authority, delegation to systems, command acceleration	Human approval, political control, command responsibility	Authority retention, multi-party approval, stop authority	Authority Boundary Review
Recovery irreversibility	Dependency, de-skilling, replacement of manual pathways, removal of alternatives	Practical recovery even if theoretical recovery remains possible	Backup, manual fallback, transition pathway, recovery evidence	Recovery Pathway Review

Routing Questions

What is being optimized?
What human capacity is being compressed?
What may become irreversible?
Who may lose refusal, correction, transition, recovery, or re-entry?
When does the loss become practically irreversible?
Who is responsible for friction design?
Who operates the friction?
Who preserves evidence before voice or position is lost?
Who verifies effectiveness?
Can the mechanism be bypassed?

Proportionality Levels

Level	Condition	Review Burden
Light	Reversible, limited, optional, recoverable	Minimal record and self-check
Moderate	Affects a defined group or institutional process	Responsibility assignment and evidence record
High	May eliminate refusal, transition, recovery, or re-entry	Third-party review and anti-bypass check
Critical	Wide-scale, infrastructure-level, authority-level, or civilizational boundary risk	Independent review, public accountability, correction before lock-in

Minimum Output

A routing review should produce the following:

applicable irreversibility type;
affected human capacity;
boundary point before irreversibility;
assigned responsible actors;
evidence required before lock-in;
checklist direction;
anti-bypass concerns;
proportionality level.
