Reading stack & source map
The reading stack is the “source spine” behind this counsel pack. It aggregates Anthropic primary materials and key external commentary.
- Anthropic policies, safety materials, and transparency posts.
- Selected legal and governance scholarship and commentary.
- Links between readings and the segments / modules they support.
Flagship sources & jump‑links
These are the anchor sources this pack leans on most often. Use the “Jump to quote” links when you want to see the exact passage in context; if your viewer ignores text‑fragment links, copy the cue string and use your PDF viewer’s search.
-
Claude Opus 4 technical report (capabilities, alignment, welfare).
General link: Open report PDF
Jump to quote on experiential language & uncertainty: Jump to quote (If this doesn’t jump, search for “experiential language, with an insistence on qualification and uncertainty”.)
Treat this as a map and log. For live matters, consult primary sources directly (including Anthropic’s website and official publications) before relying on any summarized view. When you use S5 (Counsel work) and S6 (Acceptance matrix), treat each Reading Stack entry as an evidence pin: record which items you relied on for a scenario, and check that they are still current before landing a lane.
