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. -- 2.45.2
