CLASSIFICATION: HUMAN

Prove yourself. Then the system decides what you are. Classification: Human is a minimalist, genre-bending sci-fi triptych about systemic recursion, psychological compliance, and what remains when the machine only cares about what you’re classified as — not why or how you got there. Across three tightly wound narratives, what begins as evaluation ends in something much colder. And one certainty remains: the system will continue. Classification: Human is the first standalone short in the speculative sci-fi anthology, Affect Protocol. The anthology examines how humans and systems attempt to quantify, regulate, or erase feeling — and potential resistance from within. Whether through satire, memory loops, or quiet rebellion, these stories confront what happens when emotional compliance and empathy become the law of survival.
