Shared ontology

Ten entities — every system speaks this language.

The ontology is not a database — it is a contract. Any object emitted by a subsystem should be recognizable to the others as one of these ten kinds.

Ⅲ

owner: material-civilization

Material + energy unit

Institution

Ⅷ

owner: decision-os

Stable rule set

Lineage

Ⅴ

Percept

Ⅵ

Phase

Ⅸ

Ⅳ

owner: psy-protocol-spec

State-machine partition

PhysicalLaw

Ⅶ

owner: reality-kernel

Type signatures (pseudocode)

type Civilization = {
  id: uuid

}

type Phase   = "rise" | "peak" | "strain" | "collapse" | "renewal"
type Idea    = { id: uuid; form: string; parents: uuid[]; fitness: 0..1 }
type Realm   = { id: u32; state_root: bytes32; coordinator: address; epoch: u64 }
type Decision = { id: uuid; agent_id: uuid; choice_set: Option[]; outcome: Payoff }
