Building the IQ/MQ Public Layer
Three Methods for Creating a Publicly Owned, Living, and Transparent Grading and Labeling System
From the essay
The IQ/MQ Public Layer was proposed as a civic labeling layer for public discourse: a way to make the moral and cognitive structure of speech visible without converting visibility into censorship. The Public Layer extends the earlier user-owned IQ/MQ Filter into a shared civic domain. That shift creates a new problem. A personal filter can be maintained by an individual user through declared preferences, adaptive calibration, correction, and drift control. A public layer cannot be maintained that way. Its labels must carry shared public meaning, and therefore its grading and labeling system must be created, maintained, corrected, and governed through procedures that are themselves visible.
