PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Human-AI Co-Evolution,
    including humans, AI systems, interaction, mutual adaptation,
    augmentation, learning, institutions, work, education, culture,
    communication, technology, incentives, feedback, governance, safety,
    scenarios, evidence, provenance, uncertainty, confidence and recursive
    socio-technical change.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Human-AI Co-Evolution is the long-term reciprocal adaptation of human
    behaviour, skills, institutions and practices alongside changing AI
    systems, tools and infrastructures. The concept describes interacting
    socio-technical change and does not imply biological co-evolution
    unless biological mechanisms are explicitly involved.

    Critical Distinction
        Human-AI co-evolution describes reciprocal socio-technical
        adaptation over time. It is not automatically biological
        co-evolution, widespread AI adoption does not by itself establish
        co-evolution, human adaptation is not necessarily improvement and
        greater dependence on AI does not automatically mean greater human
        capability.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Human-AI Co-Evolution is the long-term reciprocal adaptation of human
    behaviour, skills, institutions and practices alongside changing AI
    systems and infrastructures. Reliable reasoning preserves the human
    population, exact AI-system version, interaction context, time horizon,
    institutional effects, outcomes and evidence provenance while
    distinguishing adoption from co-evolution, adaptation from improvement,
    dependence from capability and socio-technical change from biological
    evolution unless biological mechanisms are explicitly involved.
