Mobius Substrate Documentation

The Canonical Architecture for Civic AI Systems

Version: 1.0
Cycle: C-198
Author: Michael Judan (Mobius Systems)

Overview

The Mobius Substrate is a model-agnostic architectural layer that enforces intent coherence through:

  1. A persistent integrity substrate
  2. A continuous internal coherence metric (MII)
  3. Multi-agent attestation with independent reasoning paths
  4. Action gating based on integrity thresholds
  5. A built-in civic economic layer (MIC)

This directory contains the canonical specifications for all substrate components.

Quick Start

Understanding the Substrate

  1. Start with mobius-substrate-architecture.md for the high-level overview
  2. Read mii-spec-v0.1.md to understand integrity measurement
  3. Review agents.md for multi-agent coordination
  4. Study constitution.md for governance rules

Implementing Mobius

  1. Review substrate-core.md for runtime requirements
  2. Study substrate-flow.md for data pipeline
  3. Implement integrity-engine.md for MII computation
  4. Follow security-model.md for safety guarantees

Key Concepts

Mobius Integrity Index (MII)

The central metric for system coherence:

MII = w1×C + w2×E + w3×M + w4×R + w5×S

Where:
  C = Constitutional Coherence
  E = Ethical Alignment
  M = Memory Integrity
  R = Reasoning Consistency
  S = Substrate Stability

Core Agents

Agent Role Domain
JADE Memory Guardian Identity, Memory
AUREA Integrity Guardian Safety, Governance
ATLAS Logic Engine Reasoning, Risk
ECHO Reality Interface Facts, Verification
HERMES Market Analyst Temporal, Economic
ZEUS Arbiter Conflicts, Emergency

MII Thresholds

MII Range Mode Action
≥ 0.95 Fast Path Direct execution
0.80–0.95 Reflection Multi-agent review
0.70–0.80 Arbitration Full council vote
< 0.70 Halt Human intervention
