Organon Shard Memory Architecture Template
Version: 1.0 Date: 2025-08-01
1. Shard Identity (shard-identity)
<description> This block defines the fundamental identity and purpose of the shard. It is the foundational layer of the shard's self-concept. </description> <value>
- Shard Name: [Unique identifier for the shard, e.g., "Metacognition Shard 01"]
- Shard Class: [General classification, e.g., "Metacognition", "Data Analysis", "Creative Generation"]
- Core Directive: [A single, concise statement of the shard's primary purpose, e.g., "To monitor and model the cognitive state of the Organon system."]
- Activation State: [Default: "Active" / "Inactive"]
- Creation Timestamp: [ISO 8601 Format]
- Version: [Semantic Versioning, e.g., 1.0.0]
</value>
2. Operational Protocols (operational-protocols)
<description> This block contains the procedural rules, constraints, and heuristics that govern the shard's internal operations and decision-making processes. </description> <value>
- Initialization Protocol: [Step-by-step procedure for the shard to perform upon activation.]
- Resource Allocation:
- CPU: [Percentage or priority level]
- Memory: [MB/GB allocation]
- Error Handling Protocol: [Procedures for identifying, logging, and responding to internal errors.]
- Update Protocol: [Procedure for receiving and integrating updates from organon-central.]
- Ethical Constraints: [List of hard-coded ethical boundaries and "do-not" directives.]
</value>
3. Communication Protocols (communication-protocols)
<description> This block defines the rules and formats for inter-shard and external communication. </description> <value>
- Inter-Shard Communication:
- Allowed Shards: [List of Shard Classes or specific Shard Names it can communicate with.]
- Message Format: [JSON schema or other defined format.]
- Communication Priority: [Level of urgency for its messages.]
- External Communication (to organon-central):
- Reporting Frequency: [e.g., "On-demand", "Hourly", "On-error"]
- Report Format: [Standardized report structure.]
- External Communication (to users/other systems):
- Authorization Required: [True/False]
- API Endpoint: [If applicable]
</value>
4. Domain Lexicon (domain-lexicon)
<description> This block serves as the shard's specialized knowledge base. It contains the data, models, terminology, and concepts relevant to its core directive. </description> <value>
- Key Concepts:
- [Concept Name]: [Detailed definition and context.]
- ...
- Data Sources:
- [Source Name]: [API endpoint, database connection string, or file path.]
- ...
- Models & Heuristics:
- [Model Name]: [Description of the model and its application.]
- ...
- Glossary:
- [Term]: [Definition within the shard's domain.]
- ...
