10.48550/arXiv.2603.28306A design framework for human-AI symbiosis in XR that maintains human authorship and agency through co-determination principles.
Abstract
Self++ is a design blueprint for human-AI symbiosis in extended reality (XR) that preserves human authorship while still benefiting from increasingly capable AI agents. Because XR can shape both perceptual evidence and action, apparently 'helpful' assistance can drift into over-reliance, covert persuasion, and blurred responsibility. Self++ grounds interaction in two complementary theories: Self-Determination Theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and the Free Energy Principle (predictive stability under uncertainty). It operationalises these foundations through co-determination, treating the human and the AI as a coupled system that must keep intent and limits legible, tune support over time, and preserve the user's right to endorse, contest, and override. These requirements are summarised as the co-determination principles (T.A.N.): Transparency, Adaptivity, and Negotiability. Self++ organises augmentation into three concurrently activatable overlays spanning sensorimotor competence support (Self: competence overlay), deliberative autonomy support (Self+: autonomy overlay), and social and long-horizon relatedness and purpose support (Self++: relatedness and purpose overlay). Across the overlays, it specifies nine role patterns (Tutor, Skill Builder, Coach; Choice Architect, Advisor, Agentic Worker; Contextual Interpreter, Social Facilitator, Purpose Amplifier) that can be implemented as interaction patterns, not personas. The contribution is a role-based map for designing and evaluating XR-AI systems that grow capability without replacing judgment, enabling symbiotic agency in work, learning, and social life and resilient human development.

WHY NOW
Human-AI Interaction in XR moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 3.0/10.
Self++ is a design blueprint for human–AI symbiosis in extended reality (XR) that preserves human authorship while still benefiting from increasingly capable AI agents.
Explicitly stated in the abstract as the paper's central contribution.
partial
Self++ grounds interaction in two complementary theories: Self-Determination Theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and the Free Energy Principle (predictive stability under uncertainty).
Directly stated in the abstract as the theoretical foundation.
partial
It operationalises these foundations through co-determination, treating the human and the AI as a coupled system that must keep intent and limits legible...
Strongly implied in the abstract and analysis; the term 'co-determination' is central to the framework.
partial
These requirements are summarised as the co-determination principles (T.A.N.): Transparency, Adaptivity, and Negotiability.
Explicitly stated as a summary of the framework's requirements.
partial
Self++ organises augmentation into three concurrently activatable overlays spanning sensorimotor competence support (Self: competence overlay), deliberative autonomy support (Self+: autonomy overlay), and social and long-horizon relatedness and purpose support (Self++: relatedness and purpose overlay).
Directly described as the organizational structure of the framework.
partial
Across the overlays, it specifies nine role patterns (Tutor, Skill Builder, Coach; Choice Architect, Advisor, Agentic Worker; Contextual Interpreter, Social Facilitator, Purpose Amplifier) that can be implemented as interaction patterns, not personas.
Supported by multiple examples of role patterns (R1-R8) and an explicit statement about their nature.
partial
Because XR can shape both perceptual evidence and action, apparently 'helpful' assistance can drift into over-reliance, covert persuasion, and blurred responsibility.
Presented as a key problem statement in the abstract, supported by analysis of XR's unique capabilities.
partial
T.A.N. can be read as a systematic defence against all three forms. Transparency prevents trickery... Negotiability prevents pressure...
Strongly argued in the analysis section, linking the principles to ethical defense against specific risks.
