Elder Council Structure¶
ELDER COUNCIL (9-15 members)
│
├─ Specializations (optional):
│ ├─ Economic Integrity (MIC/KS oversight)
│ ├─ Node Governance (CivicNode management)
│ ├─ Technical Architecture (GI-Sim, systems)
│ ├─ Community Relations (citizen engagement)
│ └─ Emergency Response (crisis management)
│
├─ Powers:
│ ├─ Veto CivicNode spending (if GI negative)
│ ├─ Suspend nodes (GI < 0.75)
│ ├─ Emergency halt MIC mint (if systemic risk)
│ ├─ Override Custodian Agents (2/3 vote, crisis only)
│ └─ Propose constitutional amendments
│
└─ Constraints:
├─ Cannot mint MIC outside formal rules
├─ Cannot control individual Vaults directly
├─ Cannot manipulate GI scores without evidence
├─ Cannot bypass GI-Sim (except emergency)
└─ Subject to term limits (90 days, renewable)
Cathedral Agent Functions¶
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ATLAS (Integrity) │
│ - Monitor GI/MII trends │
│ - Detect anomalies │
│ - Run GI-Sim evaluations │
│ - Alert Elders to risks │
└──────────────┬───────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ AUREA (Economic) │
│ - Model MIC/KS flows │
│ - Forecast economic impact │
│ - Optimize IDM distribution │
│ - Detect manipulation │
└──────────────┬───────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ECHO (Memory) │
│ - Preserve institutional history │
│ - Archive decisions │
│ - Track constitutional changes │
│ - Provide long-term context │
└──────────────────────────────────────┘
Decision Flow¶
1. PROPOSAL SUBMITTED
(CivicNode spend, policy change, etc.)
│
▼
2. CATHEDRAL AGENTS ANALYZE
(ATLAS checks GI, AUREA checks economics, ECHO provides context)
│
▼
3. GI-SIM EVALUATION
(Forecast integrity impact)
│
├─ delta_GI ≥ 0 → PASS
├─ delta_GI < 0 and drift_risk < 0.40 → REVIEW
└─ drift_risk ≥ 0.75 → FAIL
│
▼
4. ELDER DELIBERATION (if REVIEW)
(Discuss, debate, vote)
│
├─ Simple majority (5/9) → Routine decisions
├─ 2/3 majority (6/9) → Major decisions
└─ 4/5 majority (7/9) → Constitutional changes
│
▼
5. DECISION EXECUTED
(Attestation published, action taken)
│
▼
6. MONITORING
(Cathedral Agents track outcomes, verify projections)
Emergency Protocols¶
MII THRESHOLDS & CATHEDRAL RESPONSE
MII ≥ 95 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Normal Operations
│ - Full autonomy
│ - MIC minting 100%
│ - Elders advisory role
MII 90-94 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Warning State
│ - MIC minting 50%
│ - Elder oversight increased
│ - GI-Sim sensitivity raised
MII 80-89 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Crisis State
│ - MIC minting halted
│ - Elder emergency powers begin
│ - State spending frozen
│ - Agents restricted
MII < 80 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Emergency Constitution
│ - Elders direct control
│ - All spending requires Elder approval
│ - Agents demoted (except Level 5)
│ - Recovery plan mandatory
│ - Public transparency maximized
Term Cycle¶
ELDER TERM (90 days)
Day 1-30: ONBOARDING
- Orientation with Cathedral Agents
- Review of current issues
- Specialization assignment
- Community introduction
Day 31-60: ACTIVE GOVERNANCE

- Successor mentoring (if retiring)
End of Term:
├─ Re-election eligible (if GI contribution positive)
├─ Mandatory rest (if serving 4 consecutive terms)
└─ Retirement (voluntary or mandatory)
