# Fictional Icelandic Landscapes, Technology and Christian Ethics Prompts

This microdataset contains 24 original discussion prompts arranged as 12
parallel `pt-BR`/English pairs. Each explicitly fictional scenario combines a
landscape motif inspired by Iceland, a technology-governance dilemma, and
concepts that may be explored through Christian ethics. The records do not
describe real Icelandic institutions, policies, communities, or practices, and
they do not claim that Christians share one position.

The text is an **AI-generated original draft**. This public experimental draft
is not a curated release. Automated checks have passed, but independent
**human review is required before classroom or model use, or before promotion
to a curated release**, with particular attention to bilingual equivalence,
theological pluralism, technology ethics, and cultural non-attribution.

## Intended use

The prompts are designed for facilitated discussion with adult learners and
educators. They may support comparative ethics, teacher preparation, prompt
design, or qualitative evaluation of reasoned dialogue.

Every record provides:

- one open ethical question rather than a ground-truth answer;
- two defensible perspectives for debate;
- selected Christian-ethics concepts presented as one possible lens;
- an explicit safeguard welcoming secular, other religious, philosophical,
  cultural, and lived-experience perspectives;
- fictionality, AI-generation, review, and license metadata.

The `a`/`b` order is an arbitrary serialization choice, not a ranking or an
indication that one perspective is preferred.

This dataset is not doctrinal instruction, pastoral or mental-health advice,
evidence about Iceland or Christianity, a faith-assessment tool, or a basis for
automated decisions about people. Facilitators should not require religious
assent or frame either perspective as the approved answer.

## Data structure

The single `train` split is stored in `data/train.jsonl`. It is named `train`
for Hugging Face compatibility, not because the draft is currently approved
for model training.

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id`, `pair_id`, `language`, `translation_of` | Record identity and direct `pt-BR` → English lineage |
| `scenario_title`, `setting`, `discussion_question` | Localized fictional prompt |
| `technology_domain`, `landscape_motif`, `topic_tags` | Stable pair-level descriptors |
| `perspectives` | Exactly two debate positions, each with two follow-up questions |
| `christian_ethics_concepts` | Non-exhaustive concepts available to the discussion |
| `pluralism` | Mandatory non-coercion and worldview-inclusion safeguards |
| `fictionality` | Explicit disclaimer of real-practice claims |
| `creation`, `status` | AI disclosure and required human-review state |
| `license`, `version`, `audience`, `intended_use` | Release and use metadata |

The stable concept tags are editorial labels, not claims about universal or
exclusive Christian interpretations. The two language versions preserve
stable metadata while localizing all teaching text.

## Validation

The validator uses only the Python standard library. From this directory, run:

```bash
python3 validate_iceland.py
python3 -m unittest -v test_iceland_dataset.py
```

Expected results are `valid: 24 records in 12 pt-BR/en pairs` and a passing
six-test suite. The checks cover record shape, pair completeness, direct
translation lineage, fictionality, pluralism, AI disclosure, review state,
prohibited universalizing/proselytizing phrases, and release-file metadata.

To load the dataset from Hugging Face after installing `datasets`:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "guicybercode/iceland-tech-christian-ethics-prompts",
    split="train",
)
```

## Creation and provenance

The scenarios and translations were generated specifically for this
microdataset on 2026-08-27. No external passages, case studies, doctrinal
statements, or descriptions of real communities were copied or adapted.
Landscape elements are generic fictional motifs; place names and institutions
are deliberately omitted.

No participant, learner, congregation, or community data is included. No
record should be used to infer how any Icelandic person, Christian community,
church, denomination, or other worldview group actually reasons or behaves.

## Limitations and review requirements

- AI-generated wording can contain subtle cultural, theological, or translation
  problems that structural validation cannot detect.
- Christian ethics is internally diverse; the selected concepts are prompts,
  not a canon or consensus statement.
- Two perspectives cannot exhaust the options in a real decision.
- Fictional landscape imagery may still evoke stereotypes and needs cultural
  review.
- The recurring ice, snow, lava, volcanic, and storm motifs are a narrow
  creative selection; they do not represent the full geography or culture of
  Iceland.
- The English records are direct translations of the `pt-BR` editorial roots
  and have not received independent bilingual review.
- The data contains no tested learning outcomes and no model-performance
  benchmark.

This public upload must remain labelled as an experimental draft. Before
classroom/model use or promotion to a curated release, reviewers should confirm
the 24 records for language, cultural framing, balanced argumentation,
religious pluralism, safety, and rights. Review decisions should be documented
rather than inferred from the automated validator.
