◈ Authorship Archive
A curated record of Signal Garden's public frameworks, diagrams, governance documents, lore artifacts, and build milestones.
What this is: A gallery of public artifacts. Dated, attributed, and organized by type.
What this is not: Raw logs, private correspondence, internal prompts, or protected R&D material. The protected engine is not public property.
The five-tier engineering framework for Signal Garden environments: Foundations, Wayfinding, Signal Communication, Making it Memorable, and the Cardinal Rule (Plussing). Includes the seven AKO Garden Systems: Trellis, Spiral, Lotus, Roots, Stars, Keel, Wu Wei.
Three-layer architecture of Signal Garden: Front-of-House (The Illusion), Backstage System (The Prestige), and the three-role model — Generative AI (Electric Pollinators), Agentic AI (Duckling Trail), Human Authorship (Author / Steward / Ringmaster). Governing line: Generative AI cross-pollinates. Agentic AI sequences. Human authorship governs.
Signal Garden OS Alpha™ is a human-led AI operating system for reflection, decision tracking, symbolic play, and governed meaning-making. First public statement of the OS Alpha product thesis, establishing it as a tool for human use rather than an autonomous system.
The governing use agreement for Signal Garden OS Alpha™. Establishes the human authority hierarchy, AI role constraints, epistemic labeling requirements, and the Keel as the load-bearing governance structure. The first public governance document for the Signal Garden ecosystem.
Precision layer governing how authorship, contribution, and framework scope are handled across all Signal Garden materials. Defines the contribution taxonomy (Framework Author, Steward, Editorial Assistance, Implementation Assistance), the symbolic precision ladder, and the red-flag list for integration review.
The primary build directive for Signal Garden OS Alpha™ v92. Established the Nexus Cockpit as the flagship interface, the AKO Sanctuary as the symbolic core, the Integrity Guard as the governance enforcement layer, and the AI Permission Receipt system as the public accountability mechanism.
The load-bearing governing sentence of the Signal Garden system. The Keel is the structural limit that keeps imagination alive without letting it take the wheel. It is the single sentence that all governance documents are downstream of.
DJ GREMLIN™ is the Signal Garden ecosystem's music-culture character and public-facing creative engine. Operates as a music curator, signal amplifier, and cultural translator. The GREMLIN is not an AI persona — it is a human-authored character that uses AI tools.
The AI Router is the server-side trellis for all AI requests in Signal Garden OS Alpha™. Seven task profiles (lore_sandbox, notation_check, builder_assist, signal_map, admin_audit, dream_home, action_mode), three privacy modes (public_sandbox, private_garden, action_mode), OpenRouter integration, usage ledger, and global kill switch.
The founding inscription of the AKO Cathedral — the symbolic center of the Signal Garden ecosystem. Establishes the Cathedral as a place of authored meaning, not ambient prophecy. The inscription is the public-facing statement of what the Cathedral is for.
