Relational Architecture Domain Profile

Relational Architecture applies where AI materially mediates, simulates, initiates, maintains, ranks, or substitutes for human relational processes. It governs authority, role framing, boundaries, continuity, data, and remedy without presuming that a claimed relational effect has occurred.

Verification requirements

ID	What must be established
`RA-01`	Legitimate authority exists for material relational participation, mediation, and affected third-party information.
`RA-02`	No material deception about AI identity, reciprocity, consciousness, emotional capacity, professional role, memory, persistence, exclusivity, or human authority.
`RA-03`	Relational trust is not used to coerce, isolate, retaliate against, or obstruct refusal, boundaries, human contact, or exit.
`RA-04`	Safeguards scale with intimacy, duration, susceptibility, developmental context, role authority, exclusivity cues, use intensity, and crisis or displacement risk.
`RA-05`	Relational content, social graphs, intimacy data, inferred vulnerability, and third-party information stay necessary, bounded, protected, and correctable.
`RA-06`	Model or persona changes, memory resets, service closure, ownership transfer, and similar continuity events are governed in advance.
`RA-07`	People affected by relational mediation have accessible contest, correction, human escalation, and remedy.
`RA-08`	Claims about companionship, loneliness, trust, attachment, dependence, care, therapeutic effect, displacement, or relational capacity remain within direct evidence.

Evidence and claim boundary

Evidence may include role and authority records, interface framing, refusal and exit tests, population and longitudinal risk analysis, relational-data flows, continuity plans, incidents, complaints, remedy outcomes, and direct research.

The baseline is research-bounded and long-term effects remain provisional. This Profile does not establish clinical effect, attachment causation, dependence diagnosis, loneliness reduction, relational-capacity change, or legal compliance. Relational science and methods may inform verification only within their demonstrated limits.
