Human-Buffer

What it is

Human-Buffer is a workshop and image-system framework that treats perception, privacy, refusal, and retention as part of the visible interface rather than as hidden support policy.

What it lets people do

It lets participants and learners inspect how a vision system sees, what it does not keep, and how consent can be made actionable through interface behavior and workshop structure.

What is public now

• Project repo Current README, workshop playbook, privacy note, ethics note, and assumption ledger.
• Human-Buffer flow diagram Public-safe diagram for explaining the interaction without exposing participants.
• Vision, Consent & Image Systems Research-facing note that situates the project in a broader method layer.
• Privacy & Ethics statement Longer public principles for projects involving people and sensing.

Evidence status

Status: teaching-ready system. Public source materials already support careful claims about consent architecture and workshop framing, but public proof should continue to rely on diagrams, staged screenshots, and redacted materials rather than participant imagery.

Next proof object: Redacted workshop screenshots or staged interface captures that show the participant flow without exposing identifiable people.

What remains unresolved

• The page should not imply workshop outcomes or participant impact beyond what the public materials can show.
• Any future media proof needs explicit public-safe clearance or staged stand-ins.
• A stronger public link between the assumption ledger and interface behavior would improve transfer.

Methods surfaced

• Consent-Forward Systems Consent, transparency, and refusal are the primary public method here.
• Assumption Ledger Vision-system assumptions should stay visible and contestable.
• Documentation as Interface Workshop playbooks and privacy notes are part of the interface surface.

Proof objects

• Human-Buffer flow diagram Status: public. Public-safe interaction and data-flow framing.
• Project repo documentation Status: public. README, privacy note, ethics note, workshop playbook, and assumption ledger.
• Redacted workshop screenshots Status: needed. If added, they should remain staged or redacted rather than participant-facing.
