ADR-003: Consequence Engine for Ethical Learning
Status
Accepted
Context
Traditional AI ethics systems use static rules (constitutional AI, RLHF reward models). FusionAGI needed a system that could learn ethical behavior from experience — understanding that every choice carries consequences and that risk/reward assessment improves with data.
Decision
Implemented a ConsequenceEngine that:
- Records every choice the system makes (action + alternatives considered)
- Estimates risk and reward before acting
- Records actual outcomes after execution
- Computes "surprise factor" (prediction error)
- Feeds into AdaptiveEthics for lesson generation
- Uses adaptive risk memory window that grows with experience
The weight system for ethical lessons is unclamped — extreme outcomes can push lesson weights below 0 (strong negative signal) or above 1.
Consequences
- The system develops genuine experiential ethics rather than rule-following
- Early-stage behavior may be more exploratory (higher risk)
- All consequence records are persisted via PersistentLearningStore
- Cross-head learning via InsightBus amplifies ethical insights
- The SelfModel's values evolve based on consequence feedback
Alternatives Considered
- RLHF-style reward model — Rejected: requires human feedback loop, doesn't scale
- Constitutional AI — Rejected: static rules, doesn't learn
- No ethics system — Rejected: need accountability and learning signal
