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.

31.26 Component Definition of Done¶
A production component is not complete until it has:
- a stable identity and owner
- a versioned interface
- validated input and output schemas
- declared trust tier
- declared privacy behavior
- declared capabilities
- default-deny security policy
- unit and integration tests
- failure and retry behavior
- observability events
- performance targets
- deployment documentation
- configuration documentation
- upgrade and rollback procedure
- security review
- privacy review
- benchmark or acceptance criteria
- operational runbook
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:
- provider identity
- canonical capability contracts
- permission and data classifications
- authentication and revocation behavior
- sandbox policy
- drift detection
- health monitoring
- 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:
- Use deterministic services for authority and security.
- Use agents for bounded interpretation and proposal generation.
- Treat memory privacy and memory trust as separate dimensions.
- Treat connectors as transport implementations, not sources of authority.
- Translate every external operation into a canonical capability contract.
- Route every side effect through the Tool Intermediary.
- Treat tool outputs as untrusted until sanitized and attested.
- Keep EIS execution honesty separate from semantic answer quality.
- Keep speculative forecasts separate from durable memory.
- 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.
