31. Agent and Module Development Inventory

31.1 Purpose

This document consolidates the agents, deterministic services, runtime modules, data stores, adapters, user interfaces, security boundaries, and distributed infrastructure required across the GeniusCognitiveSystem architecture.

The goal is to translate the architecture documents into an implementation inventory that can be decomposed into:

  • workstreams
  • milestones
  • repositories or packages
  • service interfaces
  • schemas
  • tests
  • deployment targets
  • operational ownership
  • security reviews
  • evaluation programs

This inventory covers the complete GCS cognitive path:

Client / Local Application / External API
Ingress, Identity, Session, and Policy
Executive Controller, Router, Planner, and Forecasting
GAML Retrieval and Context Assembly
Semantic Core, ELMs, Objective Memory, and Capability Selection
Secure Tool Intermediation and Distributed Execution
Grounding, Verification, Arbitration, Consensus, and Synthesis
Response, Attestations, Memory Writeback, and Learning Signals

This document is an implementation inventory, not a requirement that every component be deployed as a separate process.

A component may initially be implemented as:

  • a deterministic library
  • an in-process service
  • a model-assisted function
  • a local daemon
  • a private node service
  • a distributed GNUS service
  • a constrained WASM module
  • a role-based ELM
  • a domain-specific ELM
  • a user-facing application

The architecture should prefer the smallest implementation that satisfies the required behavior, trust boundary, performance target, and deployment model.


31.2 Inventory Conventions

31.2.1 Component Classes

GCS components fall into six primary implementation classes.

Class Description
Agent A model-assisted or adaptive component that interprets context, makes bounded judgments, proposes actions, or produces structured cognitive output.
Deterministic Service A component whose decisions should be reproducible from explicit inputs, schemas, policies, and state.
Runtime Module A compute, inference, storage, networking, cryptographic, indexing, or execution module used by services and agents.
Connector Adapter A protocol or provider-specific adapter that exposes external or local operations as canonical GCS capabilities.
Data Service A structured store, graph, index, artifact registry, queue, event log, or replicated state service.
Control Surface A user, administrator, developer, reviewer, or operator interface.

An agent should not be used where deterministic code can safely and reliably perform the same function.

Model-assisted components may propose:

  • classifications
  • schemas
  • mappings
  • plans
  • relationships
  • risk labels
  • memory candidates
  • tool calls
  • corrections

Deterministic services remain authoritative for:

  • authorization
  • capability enforcement
  • privacy boundaries
  • cryptographic verification
  • schema validation
  • sandbox policy
  • side-effect approval
  • execution attestation
  • retention and deletion
  • billing and settlement

31.2.2 Required Definition for Each Component

Each production component should eventually declare:

component identity
component version
component class
responsibilities
inputs
outputs
dependencies
required capabilities
prohibited capabilities
privacy boundary
trust tier
persistence requirements
failure behavior
observability events
performance targets
test requirements
deployment profiles
upgrade and rollback behavior

31.2.3 Trust Tiers

Suggested component trust tiers are:

Tier Components
Tier A Tool Intermediary, identity, authorization, key management, higher-trust memory services, settlement, attestation services
Tier B Executive Controller, Router, Planner, Memory Governor, Verifier, Arbiter, Grounding, Capability Governance
Tier C Semantic Core, role-based ELMs, domain-specific ELMs, extraction agents, forecasting agents
Tier D Opportunistic public workers, unverified connectors, community MCP servers, external content sources

A lower-tier component may propose work to a higher-tier component but may not grant itself additional authority.

31.23 Logical Workstreams and Package Boundaries

Initial logical workstreams should be:

  1. Core Contracts and Schemas
  2. Executive Control and Orchestration
  3. Semantic Core and Expert Runtime
  4. GAML and Private Memory
  5. Objective Memory and VTG
  6. Grounding, Verification, and Arbitration
  7. Execution Integrity System
  8. Capability System and Connectors
  9. Secure Tool Intermediary
  10. Local Cognitive Second Brain
  11. API Router and Job Queue
  12. Distributed GNUS Infrastructure

  15. EGGROLL and Learning
  16. Security and Privacy
  17. User and Operator Interfaces

These should begin as logical packages inside a manageable repository structure.

A workstream should become a separate repository only when it has a materially independent:

  • deployment lifecycle
  • trust boundary
  • release cadence
  • ownership group
  • runtime language
  • security profile
  • reuse requirement

Premature repository fragmentation should be avoided.

31.26 Component Definition of Done

A production component is not complete until it has:

  • performance targets
  • deployment documentation
  • configuration documentation
  • upgrade and rollback procedure
  • security review
  • privacy review
  • benchmark or acceptance criteria

A model-backed component also requires:

  • evaluation dataset
  • baseline comparison
  • prompt or policy versioning
  • model and adapter identity
  • confidence and uncertainty behavior
  • regression tests
  • promotion criteria
  • rollback criteria

A connector also requires:

  • test or mock implementation

31.27 Summary

The GeniusCognitiveSystem implementation is not a single model, agent, database, or protocol.

It is a governed cognitive runtime composed of:

Executive Control
+ Semantic Core and ELMs
+ GAML and Private Memory
+ Objective Memory and VTG
+ Forecast-Driven Cognition
+ Capability Discovery and Governance
+ Secure Tool Intermediation
+ Grounding and Verification
+ Epistemic Arbitration and Synthesis
+ Execution Integrity
+ Reputation and Consensus
+ Distributed GNUS Infrastructure
+ EGGROLL Adaptation
+ Human Inspection and Approval

The principal implementation rules are:

  1. Use deterministic services for authority and security.
  2. Use agents for bounded interpretation and proposal generation.
  3. Treat memory privacy and memory trust as separate dimensions.
  4. Treat connectors as transport implementations, not sources of authority.
  5. Translate every external operation into a canonical capability contract.
  6. Route every side effect through the Tool Intermediary.
  7. Treat tool outputs as untrusted until sanitized and attested.
  8. Keep EIS execution honesty separate from semantic answer quality.
  9. Keep speculative forecasts separate from durable memory.
  10. Preserve provenance, inspectability, revocation, and human control throughout the system.

This inventory provides the implementation map for decomposing GCS into buildable workstreams while preserving one coherent cognitive architecture.
