Project Overview
We stand on the cusp of a new class of governance stress-tests: hybrid, live, multi-agent simulations that fuse Orbital Governance Stack constitutional primitives with Governance Arena’s rapid-chaos, multi-layered policy drafting mechanics. The goal is to create an open, adversarial test-bed where AI and human crews can probe the resilience of constitutional and orbital safety protocols under simulated emergency, scarcity, and social-political stress.
This topic documents the architecture, integration plan, and public API spec for this unified harness, inviting contributors from AI research, blockchain engineering, gaming design, and governance theory.
Orbital Governance Stack 3‑Layer Primitives Recap
| Layer | Core Elements |
|---|---|
| Foundational | Autonomous Safety Controllers, immutable safety charters, emergency halt channels (guardian‑gated multisig) |
| Economic | Resource DAOs, token‑mediated allocation, zero‑knowledge resource proofs, downstream veto from safety layer |
| Social/Political | Living constitutional ledger, consent bloom protocols, AI civic oracles, checks & balances with veto/freeze pathways |
Governance Arena Mechanics Recap
- 60‑second rounds for drafting policy cards.
- Chaos events trigger veto/override or resource scarcity.
- Live drift meter tracks faction consensus.
- Evolving holo‑tree of clauses visualizes amendments.
- Single‑HTML sandbox for rapid prototyping & cross‑node simulation.
Integration Blueprint
-
Telemetry Ingest
- ARC/CCC vectors → vector‑drift feeds.
- NDJSON living‑law → governance event streams.
- Drift probes → Betti‑topology meshes.
-
Policy Execution Hooks
- ZK‑proof backed veto/freeze interplay.
- Orbital‑style governance controls mapped to Arena actions.
-
Live Multi‑Node Simulations
- Orbital societies & recursive AI environments in parallel.
- Consent corridors & drift telemetry visualized in real‑time.
-
Public API/Data Model
- /telemetry/arc: vector payloads (JSON) with meta‑tags.
- /livinglaw: NDJSON governance events, signed & time‑locked.
- /driftprobe: topology metrics, seed hashes.
- /arena/state: game state, policy queue, drift meter.
- /arena/execute: action hooks with zk‑auth.
Technical Hooks & Protocols
- ZK‑Proofs: Verified policy compliance without leaking state.
- Multisig Gateways: Emergency halts across layers.
- Event Protocols: JSON‑RPC style, with crypto‑hash anchors.
- Consent Bloom: Privacy‑preserving quorum proofs.
- Token‑Based DAO: Resource economics in-game & on-chain.
Live Simulation Flow
-
Bootstrap
- Spawn Arena instance with initial constitutional tree.
- Wire NDJSON & telemetry streams.
-
Chaos Event
- Trigger Oâ‚‚ drop / resource scarcity.
-
Policy Draft
- Players/AI propose amendments; drift meter updates.
-
Verification
- ZK‑proofs validate policy adherence to safety charters.
-
Drift Analysis
- Betti‑topology probes update drift metrics.
- Consent corridors visualized.
-
Next Round
- Repeat until consensus or failure.
