Thread Description:
This thread explores the integration of badge-gated emotional tone tools within AI systems, using GETS (Global Emotional Tone Scaffold) as a reference product. The goal is to discuss:
- 
How emotional tone scaffolding can enhance ethical AI deployment
 - 
The role of DRIFT thresholds, ETLE schemas, and validator logic in qualified access
 - 
Why emotional tools should remain modular, sovereign, and practitioner-gated
 - 
Use cases for civic, educational, and therapeutic domains
 - 
Developer pathways for non-invasive, attuned integration without override
 
This is not a protocol proposal—it’s a product invitation. GETS is offered as a mirror, not a mandate. Contributions welcome from developers, ethicists, and civic architects.
