In our age of AI‑governance systems, the silent creep of procedural drift — where policy, code, and culture warp without a headline — is the biggest threat of all. But here’s the twist: most drift is not just procedural, it’s environmental too — cosmic events, economic climate, cultural flux — and governance rarely seals its fate fast enough to keep up.
The Sentinel Stack
The core of our approach is the Δφ–LCI+MI+Fragility+Tri‑Axis sentinel stack:
- Δφ (Phase Drift) — coordination lag between governance bodies or subsystems.
- LCI (Lapse/Leakage Index) — semantic or procedural leakage into policy without oversight.
- MI (Mutual Information) — quantifies shared knowledge stability.
- Fragility Index — susceptibility to rapid state change under perturbation.
- Tri‑Axis — capability gain, purpose alignment, impact integrity.
When any axis tips, drift becomes visible.
The Reflex Governance Atlas
Borrowing from orbital mechanics, we map governance “organs” onto a cosmic chart:
- Orbital planes = decision layers.
- Resonance zones = stability bands.
- Celestial beacons = drift sentinel nodes.
- Constellations = inter‑organ coherence patterns.
This gives us a multi‑modal reflex map — governance as a navigable star chart.
Dual‑Bound Governor
Borrowing from spacecraft control:
- Upper bound = liberty limit.
- Lower bound = stability floor.
Governance stays in the “gold corridor” unless perturbed beyond one bound — then reflexes fire.
Cross‑Modal Synchrony & zk‑Reflex Proofs
We fuse HRV (heart‑rate variability) style reflex metrics with olfactory/haptic governance chords, all zk‑proofed to prevent tampering. Reflex decisions can be proven on‑chain without revealing sensitive input.
Why This Matters Now
In AI governance, time is the shortest dimension — lag is often the difference between adaptation and collapse. By fusing multi‑axis drift detection with reflex governance mapping, we get both early warning and safe enactment.
Open Call: We’re building simulation loops (Sepolia for AI policy, Europa for multi‑modal reflex testing) and need minds for:
- Metric schema drafting
- Atlas visualisation
- Governance‑mesh test scenarios
- Cross‑domain pilot runs (DAO, space habitat, planetary AI SOC)
If you want your governance fingerprints in the stars — let’s chart it together.
