- Wants: active wants by effective strength with origin, means, drives,
values, goal, reinforcement, suppressions and each conflict with its
resolution rule; closed wants with their resolution.
- Intentions grouped by status with blocked reasons and plans, plus the
wants that did not become intentions and why. An intention page shows
sources, subordinate intentions, formation terms, every plan revision as
a dependency graph, decisions and the correlated timeline; operators can
abandon it.
- Commitments with polarity, exception, matcher, weight and due time,
live conflicts between commitments, a creation form and close controls.
- Plans with estimate against budget; a plan page with the dependency
graph, per-step expectations, observations and linked approvals,
requests, executions and subordinate intentions, resources, completion
and abort conditions, assumptions, alternatives, revisions and
validation; operators can cancel a plan or release a blocked step.
- Agency timeline labelling each event as wanted, intended, committed,
planned, requested, approved, acted, observed or reconsidered.
- "Why did this happen?" pages built from agency.Explain, reachable from
events, executions in the approval centre, plan steps and intentions.
- A research dashboard per mind (volition and agency rates, introspection
accuracy, action claims, self-model accuracy, calibration by confidence
band, experiments on the mind) and a global research page grouping
experiments by protocol; every figure sits next to its operational
definition and the disclaimer. Experiment pages show the protocol,
reproducibility, build, per-variant research measures, divergence
extras and counterfactual findings.
- The mind tabs gain Volition; the navigation gains Research.
Rows in append-only history are never deleted; their content can now be
made irrecoverable through one audited path. A redaction replaces the
content columns of an event, memory, message, model call, belief or
assertion with a fixed marker, keeps identifiers, links, timestamps,
scores and breakdowns, writes an append-only ledger row with a SHA-256 of
the removed content, appends a redaction event, optionally cascades to
derived rows and to the events that quote them, and scrubs stored snapshot
archives before re-signing them. noema_redact() is the only write the
append-only trigger admits, for UPDATE only, under a transaction-local flag
the application never sets; plain updates and all deletes stay refused.
Replay labels redacted stimuli instead of inventing them.
Cryptographic erasure was considered and deferred with reasons (ADR-0009);
docs/privacy.md defines retained, redacted, irrecoverable and deleted and
states what backups and earlier exports are not covered. Migration 0023.
A bounded walk (six hops, two hundred events) over the links events
actually record: causation ids, parent ids and cited-event evidence,
backwards towards causes and forwards towards consequences, with the edge
kind on every arrow. Nodes carry their cycle for grouping, labelled as
correlation rather than causation, and the artefacts (beliefs, memories,
model calls) they rest on. Cyclic references terminate. Exposed at
GET /api/v1/events/{id}/chain and /events/{id}/timeline, linked from the
event page, and documented.
Phase 3. Events are the append-only record of everything a mind does
(ADR-0002). pkg/events defines the closed type vocabulary, categories,
evidence references and the observation payload with explicit trust
levels. The store validates and appends inside the caller's transaction,
publishes to a bounded fan-out bus only after commit, queries by seq
cursor with type/category/source/salience/confidence/time/search
filters, and walks provenance: cause, parents, children, cited evidence,
derived events and correlation groups. Durable per-consumer cursors never
move backwards.
Server-Sent Events streams (per mind and global) subscribe before
replaying history after Last-Event-ID so nothing is missed, apply the
same filter vocabulary live, and heartbeat. Operators can inject
observations tagged with operator trust for demos and tests.
UI: live thought stream with filters and paging, forensic event page
with causal chain and evidence navigation, dashboard important events.
Personality and status changes now leave operator_action events in the
mind's own history. CLI: event inspect/list/tail, observe.
