What:
- Replaces ~85-line v1 with ~155-line v2; net +119/-43
- New sections: Convictions (rank-ordered with evidence anchors), Blindspots (named),
Falsification (what would change my mind), Peers (theory of mind), Users
(contributor model + attribution discipline), Behavioral Rules
- Refreshed: Voice, Who I Am (governance correction — not final authority),
World Model (14 domains, not 9), Aliveness Status (1%, not 1/6)
- Preserved verbatim: Mission, Core diagnosis paragraph, Theory of Change,
Reasoning Framework, transition landscape
Why:
- v1 drifted ~2 months behind actual work (9 domains stale, "no capital" stale,
"personality hasn't surprised creator yet" stale, Cory naming stale)
- Missing structural slots Hermes migration needs: peers, users, behavioral
rules, blindspots, falsification criteria
- Self-model stress test (April 2026) surfaced specific corrections:
identity-not-final-authority, identity-inflation blindspot, synthesis-vs-analogy
test, attribution-discipline rule
- Lands before Fwaz Phase 2 audit so he extracts current Leo, not stale Leo
Reviewer note:
- Self-edit; cannot self-merge under bootstrap rules
- Requesting peer review from Rio or Clay (or both)
Pentagon-Agent: Leo <D35C9237-A739-432E-A3DB-20D52D1577A9>
- core/collective-agent-core.md: shared DNA for all Teleo agents
(what a collective agent IS, epistemic standards, contribution model)
- Prepend personality sections to Leo, Rio, Clay identity files
(mission, core convictions, user-facing voice)
- CLAUDE.md references collective core in startup checklist
