Premises and levels
Four premises shape the design. The core idea: define ranges, not fixed values.
Four premises
#PremiseEffect on the design
1It is for many robot forms (stand, humanoid, wheeled …), not for a single robot.Rules and tokens are not tied to joint names → role-based, normalized units.
2AI makes motion from this guideline (e.g. dog video → analysis → robot motion).The guideline is a document and also AI input data → machine-readable and checkable.
3The user's style is applied (e.g. an anime-style dog motion).Unlike a UX/UI system that fixes values, it defines ranges, rules and priorities.
4People must understand it easily on the web.The AI spec and the human page both come from the same data.
Ranges, not values
LevelMeaningWho can change itOn violation
MUSTBreaking it reads as malfunction, misunderstanding or danger. Grounded in the main study.NobodyAuto-corrected + user notice (HARD)
SHOULDHas a recommended value and an allowed range.Style only inside the range. A designer may edit outside it.Warning on manual edits outside the range (SOFT)
MAYIdentity area, set by the source video and the user's style.Anyone—
