Ethical Override Mechanism (EOM)
A 'human-in-the-loop' system allowing individuals to temporarily override AI-driven social controls when those controls violate fundamental human rights or ethical principles. The EOM provides a clear, transparent process for appealing to human arbiters who can assess the validity of the individual's concerns and grant an override, ensuring freedom for the individual under extreme circumstances. It is designed to combat the loss of autonomy under the 'Discipline' scenario.
