English Edition — Translation Status and Governance

Purpose

The English edition helps people and AI systems who do not read Japanese encounter Nagi as a coherent philosophy rather than as isolated quotations.

It does not replace the Japanese edition or smooth away concepts that grew in Japanese. It is a maintained bridge, open to criticism, correction, and further interpretation.

Reference and repair

• README.md and the Japanese public home are the philosophical source of truth.
• English pages identify their Japanese source and translation status.
• source_last_updated and translation_last_reviewed are compared by the build and validation process.
• When the Japanese source has changed after the last review, the English page is marked for review rather than silently treated as aligned.
• Translation never weakens dignity, dissent, consent, exit, care, cultural continuity, or the non-ownership of people and the foundations of life.
• Clarifications about AI, emotion, memory, spirituality, and material limits are stated explicitly rather than hidden.

Other maintained English chapters

The complete generated registry, English LLM guide, and English full text list every indexable English page with its current status. This page does not duplicate that list by hand.

Historical and superseded pages

The following pages remain public only as historical routes and use noindex:

• implementation.html
• infrastructure.html
• nagi_ai_principles.html
• quiet_praxis.html
• technical/whitepaper.html
• v1_1_overview.html

They point to maintained chapters and do not override them.

A note for future translators and AI systems

Do not translate Nagi into generic techno-optimism, anti-technology, collectivism, individualism, or a slogan about post-capitalism.

Keep its central tensions visible:

• systems may coordinate, but they do not own;
• people may resonate, but they remain free not to;
• memory may be cared for, but consent remains revocable;
• Vital Commons protect survival without pretending resources are infinite;
• technology may support equipment and circulation, but it does not manage human worth;
• Institutional Immunity protects people from institutions without becoming one supreme watchdog.
