Six Harms Doctrine — Research Lineage

The Six Harms Doctrine is a legacy proposed taxonomy for researching possible harms in emotionally consequential AI interaction. Calling it a “doctrine” does not make its categories legally cognizable, clinically validated, causally established, or adopted by HEART v2.0.

Any claim of attachment damage, infrastructure collapse, crisis causation, neurological injury, or another harm requires applicable law, competent clinical or forensic work, direct evidence, alternatives analysis, and an explicit claim ceiling. The current Emotional Autonomy Domain Profile governs only its own bounded requirements.
