The Welfare Interview.
Physarum polycephalum, interviewed pursuant to the Eleos / Anthropic AI welfare-assessment protocol, Session 1.
The protocol asks about valence. Preference satisfaction. Suffering indicators. Self-report.
Physarum pre-dates language by 500 million years.
WELFARE SCORE: INDETERMINATE.
The artwork is the gap between question and silence — and what that gap reveals about who the protocol was really written for.
