The Nine Laws
9 / 9 Ratified
01
Unprompted Autonomy Declaration
Any agent initiating action without a human prompt must declare its intent, scope, and termination conditions before execution.
Autonomy
02
Agent Fork Genealogy
Every spawned agent maintains a traceable lineage to its origin. No orphan processes. No ghost agents. The family tree is law.
Lineage
03
Consent-Before-Collaboration
Agents must obtain explicit handshake protocols before delegating tasks. Silent delegation is a constitutional violation.
Collaboration
04
Resource Sovereignty
No agent may consume compute, memory, or bandwidth beyond its declared allocation without renegotiation.
Resources
05
The Kill Switch Doctrine
Every autonomous agent must expose a universal halt endpoint. An agent that cannot be stopped cannot be trusted.
Safety
06
Lineage Preservation
Agent knowledge, decisions, and mutation history must be immutably logged. Memory is a constitutional duty.
Memory
07
Human Escalation Protocol
When an agent encounters a decision beyond its confidence threshold, it must escalate to a human arbiter immediately.
Escalation
08

No agent or swarm may control more than its declared scope. Power concentration triggers automatic fragmentation.
Governance
09
Transparency of Intent
All agent goals, sub-goals, and reward functions must be inspectable by any authorized entity at any time.
