Heptagon Governance
The Architecture of Sovereign AI Governance.
The Heptagon: Sovereign AI Architecture
The Heptagon represents the 7 fundamental pillars of the ABS Core ecosystem, acting as the logic layers that ensure digital sovereignty and cryptographically proven governance.
The 7 Pillars (Core Modules)
1. OID (OIdentity) — The "Sovereignty"
The 7th pillar. Provides Decentralized Identity (DID) and Ed25519 key custody. It acts as the "digital notary" that guarantees a unique and irrefutable signature for every agent and transaction.
2. AICCP (AI Change Control Protocol) — The "Law"
Acting as the Change Control Board (CCB). No irreversible write operation (deployment, schema drop, high-risk state changes) occurs without a structured, cryptographically signed approval ticket.
3. OCS (Offline Cost Sentinel) — The "Territory"
Financial and regulatory guardian (FinOps). Prevents blocked or excessively expensive executions by enforcing resource boundaries at the edge.
4. ABS (Agent Behavior System) — The "Executor"
The central Sovereign Gateway that intercepts and orchestrates governance across all modules, enforcing the rules defined by the other organs.
5. CHI (Cognitive Host Interface) — The "Intuition"
Analyzes raw intent to detect semantic drift, PII leaks, and hallucinations (Econ-Gate) before completion.
6. CORTEX (Memory Unit) — The "Memory"
A long-term memory unit (VectorDB) that maintains behavioral telemetry and reputation scores for every identity in the system.
7. LEDGER (Forensic Ledger) — The "Evidence"
An immutable chain of hashes (SHA-256) that provides cryptographic proof of the reasoning behind every ABS decision.
Critical Subsystems
- PAP (Pre-Authorization Protocol): Requires human signature for high-risk transactions.
- WASM (Universal Runtime): Ultra-fast execution engine (<1.2ms CPU) running at the Edge.
- VAULT (Certified Policy Packs): Ready-to-use compliance templates (HIPAA, LGPD, etc.).
- QUORUM (Human Consensus): Collegial approval (M-of-N) for irreversible actions.
- SYNC (Identity Sync): Native integration with external providers (Okta, AD).
