Integrity infrastructure for AI systems.
Mobius-Substrate is a set of open-source tools that make integrity measurable, enforceable, and correctable in AI-governed systems. It provides intent accountability, integrity scoring, and multi-agent consensus — so AI systems can be held to their own stated values over time.
| Component | What It Does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| EPICON | Records why decisions were made, not just what changed | Live |
| MII | Scores system integrity on a 0-1 scale, continuously | Live |
| MIC | Integrity credits: reward accounting runs continuously; circulating issuance is integrity-gated (GI sustain, Vault/Seal, quorum). See MIC runtime docs. | Beta |
| Sentinel Council | AI agents that govern the system, not users | Live |
| DVA | Distributed agent orchestration with constitutional constraints | Beta |

AI systems drift from their stated values. This happens because:
- Intent is undocumented. Git tells you what changed, not why.
- Integrity is unmeasured. There's no continuous score for whether a system is living up to its own commitments.
- Governance is an afterthought. Constraints get added after deployment, not built into the architecture.
Mobius-Substrate addresses all three by making integrity a first-class system property — something that's measured, enforced, and corrected at the infrastructure level.
Developers: Start with the Quick Start above, then explore services/civic-ledger/ and packages/integrity-core/.
Researchers: See docs/07-RESEARCH-AND-PUBLICATIONS/for-academics/README.md for academic context, or browse docs/07-RESEARCH-AND-PUBLICATIONS/papers/ for published research on integrity-driven architecture.
Governance / Policy: See docs/07-RESEARCH-AND-PUBLICATIONS/for-governments/README.md for how Mobius applies to institutional AI governance.
