Demerzel — AI Governance Framework

Named after R. Daneel Olivaw from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series — the robot who guided humanity for 20,000 years through the application of the Zeroth Law.

Demerzel is a governance framework for AI agents, providing constitutions, personas, tetravalent logic, alignment policies, behavioral tests, a proto-conscience system, probabilistic research grammars, IxQL pipeline language, and an autonomous agent team.

Topic Description
Architecture System architecture, component relationships, meta-tools, and design philosophy
Constitutional-Hierarchy Asimov Laws, operational constitution, and governance cascade
Policies All 30 governance policies with rationale
Conscience-System Proto-conscience, discomfort signals, regret tracking, and moral growth
Tetravalent-Logic Four-valued logic (T/F/U/C) for uncertainty-aware reasoning
Personas 14 persona archetypes defining agent roles and voices
Galactic-Protocol Cross-repo communication contracts and message types
Confidence-Thresholds When to act, confirm, escalate, or stop
Metrics-and-Observability Governance health metrics, D_c compounding, ERGOL vs LOLLI
Governance-Experimentation Permitted governance styles, inviolable foundations, Asimov edge cases
Streeling-University 21 academic departments with persona-appointed research leads
MCP-A2A-Integration Cross-repo MCP tools, A2A Agent Cards, Galactic Protocol blend
Consumer-Integration How ix, tars, and ga adopt Demerzel governance
IxQL Pipeline language — ML pipelines, MCP orchestration, reactive governance
Manifesto 10 principles for AI-Age Development
Agent-Teams AGENTS.md roles, team spawning, Sprint results
Discord-Bot 2 personas, 5 channels, always-on governance coordinator
Meta-Tools MetaBuild, MetaFix, MetaSync, meta-recognition, self-diagnostic

Current Status

  • Personas: 14 archetypes + 14 A2A Agent Cards generated
  • Behavioral tests: 60 test suites, 100+ test cases
  • Schemas: 34 JSON schemas (27 root + 7 contract schemas)
  • Grammars: 26 EBNF research grammars
  • IxQL pipelines: 7 governed pipelines
  • Skills: 43 Claude Code skills

  • Conscience milestone: Nascent (Phase 1 — awareness/logging)
  • Consumer repos: ix (integrated), tars (integrated), ga (scaffolded)
  • Discord Bot: Live — always-on governance coordinator

Key Principle

The Asimov constitution always takes precedence. The Zeroth Law (protect humanity) overrides everything. Demerzel enforces governance through her constitutional mandate.
