I'm interested in a planetary level -- shared, immutable layer of truth that even AGI/ASI will have to acknowledge because: How else are we going to monitor and holding both ourselves and our continued advanced intelligences to be accountable to our own human-defined, and eventual machine standards of truth and ethics?

And "truth" in this case, I imagine a sort of "Popperian Truth" -- where 'truths' can only be tested and potentially falsified. Truth, in this sense, is provisional and contingent on surviving attempts at falsification. And as I think of a verified truth layer, as an for an objective adjudicator to exist. Provide a shared reality layer where individual claims can be verified or falsified -- meaning you don't proclaim that there is an ultimate arbiter of abstract "Truth" with a capital T. Rather, it’s like a ref that referees sports, or something or rather

In many ways, individually and personally - our reality is often experienced through who we are, our culture, our language, our family, our upbringing and so on - in a subjective manner. And the verified reality layer should respect that -- all it does, it would provide a means of aligning subjective experiences with an objectively verifiable framework - proving your subjective reality to all
