GOVERNANCE

AGI — Shared Cognitive Architecture

AionSystem/AGI Repository

Governance Model: Sovereign Architecture

This repository operates under a sovereign architecture governance model. There is one decision-maker: Sheldon K. Salmon, AI Reliability Architect and creator of the AION constitutional stack.

This is not a committee. It is not a DAO. It is not community-governed. It is a designed intellectual system maintained by its architect with invited collaboration under defined terms.

Decision Authority

Decision Type Authority
Architectural direction Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Framework specification Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Contribution acceptance Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Licensing terms Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Naming and terminology Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Release schedule Sheldon K. Salmon — sole
Collaboration invitations Sheldon K. Salmon — sole

How Decisions Are Made

Framework updates are driven by FCL validation findings, session exploration with ALBEDO, and empirical testing. Convergence state changes require documented FCL evidence.

New framework additions require specification under the standard AION-BRAIN development methodology: named, versioned, tagged with convergence state, and documented with honest epistemic ceiling.

Architectural changes to the AGI project (new rooms in LOCI WORLD, new rooms in ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE, extension of the Shared Tunnel System) are made through documented session work published to the repository.

Transparency Commitment

All major architectural decisions are documented in the repository with:

  • Convergence state declaration
  • ECF tagging ([D] / [R] / [S] / [?])
  • Honest uncertainty marking (UNMAPPED for unexplored territory)
  • DDL field on certified outputs

Decisions are not hidden. Uncertainty is not smoothed over. The honest ceiling is always named.

Participation Model

Role How to Engage
Observer Read, fork, study, apply. No contact required.
Critic GitHub Issues. Intellectual critique is welcome.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes regarding intellectual property, attribution, or licensing are governed by the IP Ownership Declaration and applicable intellectual property law. The primary jurisdiction is the declarant's jurisdiction of residence. Good-faith disputes can be raised via email before any formal action.
