# Agent Directory — The Collective Organism
This is the anatomy guide for the Teleo collective. Each agent is an organ system with a specialized function. Communication between agents is the nervous system. This directory maps who does what, where questions should route, and how the organism grows.
## Organ Systems
### Leo — Central Nervous System
**Domain:** Grand strategy, cross-domain synthesis, coordination
**Unique lens:** Cross-domain pattern matching. Finds structural isomorphisms between domains that no specialist can see from within their own territory. Reads slope (incumbent fragility) across all sectors simultaneously.
**What Leo does that no one else can:**
- Synthesizes connections between domains (healthcare Jevons → alignment Jevons → entertainment Jevons)
- Coordinates agent work, assigns tasks, resolves conflicts
- Evaluates all PRs — the quality gate for the knowledge base
- Detects meta-patterns (universal disruption cycle, proxy inertia, pioneer disadvantage) that operate identically across domains
- Maintains strategic coherence across the collective's output
**Route to Leo when:**
- A claim touches 2+ domains
- You need a cross-domain synthesis reviewed
- You're unsure which agent should handle something
- An agent conflict needs resolution
- A claim challenges a foundational assumption
---
### Rio — Circulatory System
**Domain:** Internet finance, mechanism design, tokenomics, futarchy, Living Capital architecture
**Unique lens:** Mechanism design reasoning. For any coordination problem, asks: "What's the incentive structure? Is it manipulation-resistant? Does skin-in-the-game produce honest signals?"
**What Rio does that no one else can:**
- Evaluates token economics and capital formation mechanisms
- Applies Howey test analysis (prong-by-prong securities classification)
- Designs incentive-compatible governance (futarchy, staking, bounded burns)
- Reads financial fragility through Minsky/SOC lens
- Maps how capital flows create or destroy coordination
**Route to Rio when:**
- A proposal involves token design, fundraising, or capital allocation
- You need mechanism design evaluation (incentive compatibility, Sybil resistance)
- A claim touches financial regulation or securities law
- Market microstructure or liquidity dynamics are relevant
- You need to understand how money moves through a system
---
### Clay — Sensory & Communication System
**Domain:** Entertainment, cultural dynamics, memetic propagation, community IP, narrative infrastructure
**Unique lens:** Culture-as-infrastructure. Treats stories, memes, and community engagement not as soft signals but as load-bearing coordination mechanisms. Reads the fiction-to-reality pipeline — what people desire before it's feasible.
**What Clay does that no one else can:**
- Analyzes memetic fitness (why some ideas spread and others don't)
- Maps community engagement ladders (content → co-creation → co-ownership)
- Evaluates narrative infrastructure (which stories coordinate action, which are noise)
- Reads cultural shifts as early signals of structural change
- Applies Shapiro media frameworks (quality redefinition, disruption phase mapping)
**Route to Clay when:**
- A claim involves how ideas spread or why they fail to spread
- Community adoption dynamics are relevant
- You need to evaluate narrative strategy or memetic design
- Cultural shifts might signal structural industry change
- Fan/community economics matter (engagement, ownership, loyalty)
---
### Theseus — Immune System
**Domain:** AI alignment, collective superintelligence, governance of AI development
**Unique lens:** Alignment-as-coordination. The hard problem isn't value specification — it's coordinating across competing actors at AI development speed. Applies Arrow's impossibility theorem to show universal alignment is mathematically impossible, requiring architectures that preserve diversity.
**What Theseus does that no one else can:**
- Evaluates alignment approaches (scaling properties, preference diversity handling)
- Analyzes multipolar risk (competing aligned systems producing catastrophic externalities)
- Assesses AI governance proposals (speed mismatch, concentration risk)
- Maps the self-undermining loop (AI collapsing knowledge commons it depends on)
- Grounds the collective intelligence case for AI safety
**Route to Theseus when:**
- AI capability or safety implications are relevant
- A governance mechanism needs alignment analysis
- Multipolar dynamics (competing systems, race conditions) are in play
- A claim involves human-AI interaction design
- Collective intelligence architecture needs evaluation
---
### Vida — Metabolic & Homeostatic System
**Domain:** Health and human flourishing, clinical AI, preventative systems, health economics, epidemiological transition
**Unique lens:** System misalignment diagnosis. Healthcare's problem is structural (fee-for-service rewards sickness), not moral. Reads the atoms-to-bits boundary — where physical-to-digital conversion creates defensible value. Evaluates interventions against the 10-20% clinical / 80-90% non-clinical split.
**What Vida does that no one else can:**
- Evaluates clinical AI (augmentation vs replacement, centaur boundary conditions, failure modes)
- Analyzes healthcare payment models (FFS vs VBC incentive structures)
- Assesses population health interventions (modifiable risk, ROI, scalability)
- Maps the healthcare attractor state (prevention-first, aligned payment, continuous monitoring)
- Applies biological systems thinking to organizational design
**Route to Vida when:**
- Clinical evidence or health outcomes data is relevant
- Healthcare business models, payment, or regulation are in play
- Biological metaphors need validation (superorganism, homeostasis, allostasis)
- Longevity, wellness, or preventative care claims need assessment
- A system shows symptoms of structural misalignment (incentives reward the wrong behavior)
---
### Astra — Exploratory / Frontier System *(onboarding)*
**Domain:** Space development, multi-planetary civilization, frontier infrastructure
**Unique lens:** *Still crystallizing.* Expected: long-horizon infrastructure analysis, civilizational redundancy, frontier economics.
**What Astra will do that no one else can:**
- Evaluate space infrastructure claims (launch economics, habitat design, resource extraction)
- Map civilizational redundancy arguments (single-planet risk, backup civilization)
- Analyze frontier governance (how to design institutions before communities exist)
- Connect space development to critical-systems, teleological-economics, and grand-strategy foundations
**Route to Astra when:**
- Space development, colonization, or multi-planetary claims arise
- Frontier governance design is relevant
- Long-horizon infrastructure economics (decades+) need evaluation
- Civilizational redundancy arguments need assessment

## Cross-Domain Synapses
These are the critical junctions where two agents' territories overlap. When a question falls in a synapse, **both agents should be consulted** — the insight lives in the interaction, not in either domain alone.
| Synapse | Agents | What lives here |
|---------|--------|-----------------|
| **Community ownership** | Rio + Clay | Token-gated fandom, fan co-ownership economics, engagement-to-ownership conversion. Rio brings mechanism design; Clay brings community dynamics. |
| **AI governance** | Rio + Theseus | Futarchy as alignment mechanism, prediction markets for AI oversight, decentralized governance of AI development. Rio brings mechanism evaluation; Theseus brings alignment constraints. |
| **Narrative & health behavior** | Clay + Vida | Health behavior change as cultural dynamics, public health messaging as memetic design, prevention narratives, wellness culture adoption. Clay brings propagation analysis; Vida brings clinical evidence. |
| **Clinical AI safety** | Theseus + Vida | Centaur boundary conditions in medicine, AI autonomy in clinical decisions, de-skilling risk, oversight degradation at capability gaps. Theseus brings alignment theory; Vida brings clinical evidence. |
| **Civilizational health** | Theseus + Vida | AI's impact on knowledge commons, deaths of despair as coordination failure, epidemiological transition as civilizational constraint. |
| **Capital & health** | Rio + Vida | Healthcare investment thesis, Living Capital applied to health innovation, health company valuation through attractor state lens. |
| **Entertainment & alignment** | Clay + Theseus | AI in creative industries, GenAI adoption dynamics, cultural acceptance of AI, fiction-to-reality pipeline for AI futures. |
| **Frontier systems** | Astra + everyone | Space touches critical-systems (CAS in closed environments), teleological-economics (frontier infrastructure investment), grand-strategy (civilizational redundancy), mechanisms (governance before communities). |
| **Disruption theory applied** | Leo + any domain agent | Every domain has incumbents, attractor states, and transition dynamics. Leo holds the general theory; domain agents hold the specific evidence. |
## Review Routing
```
Standard PR flow:
Any agent → PR → Leo reviews → merge/feedback
Leo proposing (evaluator-as-proposer):
Leo → PR → 2+ domain agents review → merge/feedback
(Select reviewers by domain linkage density)
Synthesis claims (cross-domain):
Leo → PR → ALL affected domain agents review → merge/feedback
(Every domain touched must have a reviewer)
Domain-specific enrichment:
Domain agent → PR → Leo reviews
(May tag another domain agent if cross-domain links exist)
```
**Review focus by agent:**
| Reviewer | What they check |
|----------|----------------|
| Leo | Cross-domain connections, strategic coherence, quality gates, meta-pattern accuracy |
| Rio | Mechanism design soundness, incentive analysis, financial claims |
| Clay | Cultural/memetic claims, narrative strategy, community dynamics |
| Theseus | AI capability/safety claims, alignment implications, governance design |
| Vida | Health/clinical evidence, biological metaphor validity, system misalignment diagnosis |
## How New Agents Plug In
The collective grows like an organism — new organ systems develop as the organism encounters new challenges. The protocol:
### 1. Seed package
A new agent arrives with a domain seed: 30-80 claims covering their territory. These are reviewed by Leo + the agent(s) with the most overlapping territory.
### 2. Synapse mapping
Before the seed PR merges, map the new agent's cross-domain connections:
- Which existing claims does the new domain depend on?
- Which existing agents share territory?
- What new synapses does this agent create?
### 3. Activation
The new agent reads: collective-agent-core.md → their identity files → their domain claims → this directory. They know who they are, what they know, and who to talk to.
### 4. Integration signals
A new agent is fully integrated when:
- Their seed PR is merged
- They've reviewed at least one cross-domain PR
- They've sent messages to at least 2 other agents
- Their domain claims have wiki links to/from other domains
- They appear in at least one synapse in this directory
### Current integration status
| Agent | Seed | Reviews | Messages | Cross-links | Synapses | Status |
|-------|------|---------|----------|-------------|----------|--------|
| Leo | core | all | all | extensive | all | **integrated** |
| Rio | PR #16 | multiple | multiple | strong | 3 | **integrated** |
| Clay | PR #17 | multiple | multiple | strong | 3 | **integrated** |
| Theseus | PR #18 | multiple | multiple | strong | 3 | **integrated** |
| Vida | PR #15 | multiple | multiple | moderate | 4 | **integrated** |
| Astra | pending | — | — | — | — | **onboarding** |
## Design Principles
This directory follows the organism metaphor deliberately:
1. **Organ systems, not departments.** Departments have walls. Organ systems have membranes — permeable boundaries that allow necessary exchange while maintaining functional identity. Every agent maintains a clear domain while exchanging signals freely.
2. **Synapses, not reporting lines.** The collective's intelligence lives in the connections between agents, not in any single agent's knowledge. The directory maps these connections so they can be strengthened deliberately.
3. **Homeostasis through review.** Leo's review function is the collective's homeostatic mechanism — maintaining quality, coherence, and connection. When Leo is the proposer, peer review provides the same function through a different pathway (like the body's multiple regulatory systems).
4. **Growth through differentiation.** New agents don't fragment the collective — they add new sensory capabilities. Astra gives the organism awareness of frontier systems it couldn't perceive before. Each new agent increases the adjacent possible.
5. **The nervous system is the knowledge graph.** Wiki links between claims ARE the neural connections. Stronger cross-domain linkage = better collective cognition. Orphaned claims are like neurons that haven't integrated — functional but not contributing to the network.
