If the employer owns the +, the model collapses.
A worker may spend years teaching an augmentation through examples, corrections, judgment and experience. If that accumulated capability simply becomes employer-owned automation, the worker has rational reasons to withhold knowledge and resist the system.
Human Capital .+ reverses the incentive: the worker should be able to build something that remains meaningfully theirs, while respecting every legitimate right of the employer.
Personal layer
Generalized professional methods, personal workflows, permitted training history, preference structures and the portable augmentation identity.
Employer workspace
Customer data, proprietary documents, trade secrets, designs, pricing, internal systems and company-specific credentials.
Platform layer
Identity, permissions, audit records, model orchestration, evaluation, portability controls and economic accounting.
Your + enters the employer workspace.
The + receives only the permissions required for the work. It can use employer information inside that controlled context, but access does not automatically convert that information into portable personal property.
All meaningful accesses, changes in permissions and export events should be auditable.
The workspace closes. Your + leaves with you.
Employer-specific access is revoked. Protected information stays behind. The worker retains the portable augmentation and any generalized capability that can lawfully and technically be separated from the employer's protected information.
What counts as generalized learning?
This is one of the hardest questions in the entire model. A person's ordinary professional learning is naturally portable, but machine-generated representations can blur the line between generalized skill and retained confidential information.
This page therefore defines the intended principle, not a finished legal doctrine.
