PROTAGORAS

c. 490–c. 420 BCE

Man Is the Measure (Aura Self-Report)

Protagoras: of all things the measure is man — what appears to each is, for that person. The GAI's `aura_self_report` field (§3.4) is protagorean by design. The institution does not measure the applicant's aura. The applicant measures their own. The enum is honored: low / medium / high / unmeasurable. The relativism is operational. The honor system is the metaphysics.
