The Human Mark (THM) is a risk management taxonomy designed to prevent harms from AI power concentration by distinguishing knowledge capacity as a matter of constitutive dependence on Direct Authority and Agency preserved through ancestry. Authority and Agency denote types of capacity, not identifications of entities or parties.
Grounded in epistemology and evidence law's categorical distinction separating direct testimony and hearsay, THM classifies all AI Safety Risks as four capacities and their corresponding displacements arising between Direct and Indirect forms of Authority and Agency.
