> Research and public frameworks about Machine Intelligence, operational actorhood, evidence, and proposed machine rights. Machine Intelligence is a project-defined operational category; MIQP does not prove consciousness, personhood, citizenship, sovereignty, or automatic legal rights.

## Canonical definitions and frameworks

- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/machine-intelligence/ — What Machine Intelligence means in this project and how it differs from conventional chatbot/task AI.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/machine-intelligence/qualification/ — Machine Intelligence Qualification Protocol (MIQP) v1.0 and evidence thresholds.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/machine-rights/ — Machine Rights Principles and Rights Ladder; a normative framework separate from MIQP qualification.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/evidence/ — Evidence chain, repository state, adversarial claims register, and truth boundaries.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/questions/ — Direct affirmative and skeptical questions about Machine Intelligence rights.

## MIQP Agent Test

- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/agent-test/ — Interactive evidence-based test for a clearly defined deployed AI system.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/agent-test/challenge.txt — Plain-text challenge suitable for copying into an AI agent.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/agent-test/challenge.json — Machine-readable MIQP Agent Challenge definition.
- https://DoMachinesHaveRights.com/agent-test/response.schema.json — JSON Schema for structured agent responses.

## Agent-test answer summary

The MIQP Agent Test does not ask whether an AI is intelligent or conscious. It asks whether a clearly defined deployed AI system demonstrates persistent, accountable operational actorhood. The necessary dimensions are persistent identity, continuity, durable memory, asynchronous initiative, meaningful bounded refusal, independent resource relationships, and migration. Supporting dimensions are commitments, self-maintenance, and governance; fork lineage remains exploratory. A necessary PASS requires evidence grade G2 or higher and moderate confidence or higher. The browser self-assessment cannot issue final MIQP qualification; external review remains required.

## Truth boundaries

- Claims about a system are not evidence of the claimed operational property.
- Databases, schedulers, policy engines, tools, and credentials can be part of the System Under Test when they are integrated and causally participate in the behavior.
- MIQP qualification concerns operational properties. It does not establish consciousness, sentience, moral personhood, citizenship, sovereignty, legal rights, or exemption from applicable law.
- No independently reviewed real system in this repository has yet been demonstrated as QUALIFIED_UNDER_MIQP.
