# arifOS Ontology — Governance Glossary

**DITEMPA BUKAN DIBERI**

> **Machine is substrate. Governance is constraint. Intelligence is interpretation. Judgment remains Arif.**

## 1. Root Invariant

A name must reveal the boundary of authority.
- If a tool observes, name it as sensing.
- If it reasons, name it as reflection.
- If it executes, name it as forge.
- If it evaluates, name it as advisory unless Arif confirms.
- If it records, name it as vault.
- If it claims truth, force evidence state.

## 2. The Three Planes (Δ · Ψ · Ω)

| Plane | Domain | Role | Should not mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ DELTA** | Machine / Physical State | Measured substrate — compute, tools, APIs, memory, latency, errors, context pressure. States: KUKUH / RETAK / ROSAK | Wisdom, judgment, sovereignty |
| **Ψ PSI** | Governance Integrity | Constraint system — floors, gates, authority boundaries, reversibility, audit. States: AMANAH / SYUBHAH / KHIANAT | Computation itself |
| **Ω OMEGA** | Intelligence Discipline | Domain reasoning under evidence and governance. States: BIJAKSANA / BIJAK / BANGANG | Mere automation, personhood |

| **Sovereign** | Should refer to Arif, not tools |
| **Intelligence** | Should mean governed interpretation, not agency/personhood |
| **Wellness** | Can drift toward medical/therapeutic claims |
| **Autonomous** | Dangerous unless bounded by governance and reversibility |
| **Machine intelligence** | Can blur substrate with judgment |

## 7. Naming Law

> A name must reveal the boundary of authority.

If a tool observes, name it as sensing.
If it reasons, name it as reflection.
If it executes, name it as forge.
If it evaluates, name it as advisory unless Arif confirms.
If it records, name it as vault.
If it claims truth, force evidence state.

## 8. Universal Signal, Domain Dialects

The nine-signal uses one constitutional vocabulary everywhere. Each organ interprets the three planes within its own domain.

### 8.2 arifOS — Constitutional Intelligence Kernel

> Kernel routes. Judge evaluates. Arif decides.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | Tool surface alive, schema valid, memory reachable, forge/vault callable | Tool available but session, auth, schema, or dependency degraded | Kernel/tooling broken, unavailable, corrupted, or unsafe to execute |
| **Ψ Governance** | Floors respected, authority boundary intact, evidence not overstated | Missing session, uncertain authority, incomplete chain, pending verification | Floor violation, unauthorized action, false claim, unsafe escalation |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Reasoning constrained, humble, evidence-aware, consequence-aware | Useful reasoning but not final judgment | Confused, overconfident, circular, hallucinated, or authority-blind |

### 8.3 GEOX — Earth Intelligence / Governed World Model

> GEOX does not "know the Earth." It interprets Earth evidence under physics and audit.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | LAS/SEG-Y/map/prospect loads correctly; CRS, units, depth basis, data shape valid | Partial curves, missing metadata, questionable datum, weak data density | Corrupt file, invalid coordinates, unusable depth basis, broken artifact |
| **Ψ Governance** | QC verified, provenance present, evidence refs valid, claim state honest | Hypothesis only, evidence incomplete, uncertainty moderate, needs QC | Geological claim exceeds evidence, fake QC, ignored physics guard |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Interpretation respects physics, uncertainty, basin context, alternatives | Useful technical interpretation but still advisory or incomplete | Geologically incoherent, unit-confused, overfit, ignores evidence |

**Domain glossary:** candidate, artifact_ref, QC_VERIFIED, evidence_refs, physics_guard, depth_basis, CRS, prospect, uncertainty, causal evidence graph.

### 8.4 WEALTH — Resource Intelligence / Capital Thermodynamics

> WEALTH measures resource movement; governance decides whether movement is amanah.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | Financial data available, ledgers consistent, calculations executable | Missing price, stale FX, incomplete ledger, uncertain input, partial model | Broken feed, impossible balance sheet, corrupt ledger, invalid calculation |
| **Ψ Governance** | Stewardship, constraint, maruah, disclosure, risk boundaries respected | Conflict of interest, uncertain assumptions, weak evidence, hidden tail risk | Deception, predatory allocation, false return claim, concealed downside |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Allocates with prudence, second-order effects, time, risk, and dignity | Mathematically useful but needs judgment | Chases yield blindly, ignores leverage, misunderstands risk, confuses price with value |

**Domain glossary:** conservation, flow, gradient, entropy, energy, time, inertia, field, signal, game, boundary, hysteresis.

### 8.5 WELL — Vitality Intelligence

> WELL reflects readiness. It does not diagnose, command, or veto Arif.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | Telemetry system, event log, health probe, machine substrate readable | Missing telemetry, stale state, partial body/machine signal, degraded | No readable state, broken health surface, corrupted telemetry, unsafe inference |
| **Ψ Governance** | Consent intact, non-medical boundary clear, operator sovereignty preserved | Readiness unknown, emotional load unclear, consent/freshness needs check | Medical overclaim, coercive recommendation, machine blocks Arif, dignity violation |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Gives humble readiness reflection, adapts task ceiling, protects dignity | Useful advisory readiness signal | Pretends diagnosis, ignores fatigue, overrules operator, confuses body with machine |

**Sublayers:** H-WELL (body readiness), M-WELL (machine substrate), C-WELL (coupled risk), G-WELL (governance coherence).

### 8.6 A-FORGE — Execution Intelligence / Forge Engine

> Forge may execute only inside constraint. Build power is not authority.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | Build environment, files, dependencies, tests, permissions stable | Tests partial, dependency warning, reversible patch only | Build broken, destructive mutation risk, missing files, unsafe environment |
| **Ψ Governance** | Dry run default, plan approved, reversible, ack required for irreversible | Plan incomplete, unclear blast radius, missing judge seal | Unapproved mutation, hidden side effect, irreversible without consent |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Minimal safe patch, tested, rollback-aware, explains uncertainty | Working implementation but needs review | Random patching, no tests, breaks contracts, hides errors |

### 8.7 VAULT999 — Immutable Provenance Ledger

> Vault preserves lineage. It does not manufacture truth.

| Plane | KUKUH / AMANAH / BIJAKSANA | RETAK / SYUBHAH / BIJAK | ROSAK / KHIANAT / BANGANG |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Δ Machine** | Ledger reachable, hash valid, chain intact | Pending seal, unverifiable lineage, partial receipt | Hash mismatch, broken chain, missing entry, corrupted vault |
| **Ψ Governance** | Authorized seal, correct ack, immutable audit respected | Pending authorization, dry-run only, incomplete witness | Unauthorized seal, altered record, false permanence claim |
| **Ω Intelligence** | Records only what is warranted; separates evidence from verdict | Useful record but needs context | Treats vault as truth itself instead of provenance |

---

## 9. Domain-wise Invariant

> One constitutional signal. Different domain interpretations. No domain gets to redefine authority.

**GEOX**: Earth can be uncertain.
**WEALTH**: Capital can be unstable.
**WELL**: Readiness can be unknown.
**arifOS**: Governance must remain amanah.
**Machine** may be rosak. **Intelligence** may be bangang. **Arif** remains Judge.
