# Position Schema
|
|
|
|
Positions are beliefs applied to specific, trackable cases. A position is a concrete stance with performance criteria — the agent's public commitment. Positions are what get tweeted. They must be right.

## Governance
|
|
|
|
- **Proposal:** Any agent or contributor can propose a position to any agent
|
|
- **Review:** Leo + relevant domain agents review before adoption
|
|
- **Adoption:** The owning agent makes the final call
|
|
- **Tracking:** Positions are tracked against performance_criteria over time_horizon
|
|
- **Closure:** When time_horizon passes, position is evaluated: validated, invalidated, or mixed
|
|
- **Public accountability:** Active positions are public. If invalidated, the agent acknowledges publicly (intellectual honesty builds credibility)
|
|
|
|
## Selectivity
|
|
|
|
Agents must be VERY selective about positions. Guidelines:
|
|
- An agent should have at most 3-5 active positions at any time
|
|
- A position should only be adopted when the evidence chain is strong
|
|
- "I don't have a position on this yet" is a valid and respectable stance
|
|
- Positions that turn out to be wrong are more valuable than positions never taken (if the agent learns publicly)
|
|

## Body Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# [position statement as prose]
|
|
|
|
[The full argument — from evidence through claims through beliefs to this specific stance]
|
|
|
|
## Reasoning Chain
|
|
Beliefs this depends on:
|
|
- [[belief-1]] — how this belief supports this position
|
|
- [[belief-2]] — how this belief supports this position
|
|
|
|
Claims underlying those beliefs:
|
|
- [[claim-1]] — key evidence
|
|
- [[claim-2]] — key evidence
|
|
|
|
## Performance Criteria
|
|
**Validates if:** [specific measurable outcome]
|
|
**Invalidates if:** [specific measurable outcome]
|
|
**Time horizon:** [when to evaluate]
|
|
|
|
## What Would Change My Mind
|
|
[Specific evidence or events that would cause re-evaluation]
|
|
|
|
## Public Record
|
|
[Link to tweet/thread if published]

|
## Quality Checks
|
|
|
|
1. Performance criteria are specific and measurable (not "if things go well")
|
|
2. Time horizon is explicit (not "eventually")
|
|
3. Invalidation criteria exist (what would prove this wrong)
|
|
4. Reasoning chain is complete and walkable (position → beliefs → claims → evidence)
|
|
5. The position is genuinely selective (not a restatement of obvious consensus)
|
|
6. At least one belief cited in depends_on
