ADR-001: Advisory Governance Model

Status

Accepted

Context

FusionAGI needed a governance model for its 12-headed AGI orchestrator. Traditional AI safety approaches use hard enforcement (blocking, filtering, rate limiting). The question was whether to enforce constraints rigidly or allow the system to learn from consequences.

Decision

All governance constraints operate in advisory mode by default:

  • Safety head reports observations rather than blocking
  • File/HTTP tool restrictions log warnings but proceed
  • Rate limiter logs exceedances but allows requests
  • Manufacturing gate uses GovernanceMode.ADVISORY
  • Ethics engine learns from consequences, not from rules

The GovernanceMode.ENFORCING option remains available for deployment contexts that require it.

Consequences

  • The system learns faster because it experiences consequences of its choices
  • Risk of harmful outputs is higher during the learning phase
  • Full audit trail enables post-hoc analysis of every decision
  • The ConsequenceEngine provides the primary feedback loop for ethical learning
  • All advisory warnings are logged with trace IDs for accountability

Alternatives Considered

  1. Hard enforcement — Rejected: prevents learning, creates false sense of safety
  2. Hybrid (enforce critical, advise rest) — Partially adopted: certain hardware safety limits (e.g., embodiment force limits) still log but don't clamp
  3. No governance — Rejected: transparency and auditability are still required
