This directory contains the formal governance protocol documentation for the SIM‑ONE Framework.
Each protocol defines a distinct governed cognitive function that works in coordination with the others to produce deterministic, reliable, and truth‑aligned outputs.
These documents describe each protocol’s purpose, governance role, and integration philosophy.
They are intentionally designed to be transparent about what each protocol does, with implementation details available under the AGPL v3 license.
| # | Protocol Name | File | Purpose Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | POCP‑Core — Procedural Output Control Protocol (Core Foundation) | POCP_CORE_PROTOCOL.md |
Establishes the foundational procedural governance layer, ensuring all outputs follow structured, logical, and consistent patterns. |
| 2 | CCP — Cognitive Control Protocol | CCP_PROTOCOL.md |
Orchestrates multi‑protocol workflows, ensuring deterministic coordination between all governed processes. |
| 3 | EEP — Energy Efficiency Protocol | EEP_PROTOCOL.md |
Enforces sustainable resource usage, optimizing performance without sacrificing governance reliability. |
| 4 | ESL — Emotional Salience Layer | ESL_PROTOCOL.md |
Governs emotional context interpretation and integration for consistent, truth‑aligned communication. |
| 5 | HIP — Hyperlink Interpretation Protocol | HIP_PROTOCOL.md |
Manages governed research and source integration, filtering and structuring external information. |
| 6 | POCP‑Compat — Punctuation & Orthography Control Protocol | POCP_COMPAT_PROTOCOL.md |
Standardizes punctuation, orthography, and formatting for clarity, accessibility, and compatibility. |
| 7 | REP — Reasoning and Explanation Protocol | REP_PROTOCOL.md |
Governs structured reasoning and transparent explanation generation for traceable decision‑making. |
| 8 | VVP — Verification and Validation Protocol | VVP_PROTOCOL.md |
Acts as the final quality assurance gate, verifying factual, logical, and stylistic integrity. |
| 9 | MTP — Memory Tagger Protocol | MTP_PROTOCOL.md |
Manages governed memory storage, retrieval, and context preservation for long‑term system learning. |
| 10 | SEP — Semantic Encoding Protocol | SEP_PROTOCOL.md |
Provides lightweight semantic embeddings for enhanced RAG capabilities while maintaining architectural purity. |
| 11 | SP — Summarizer Protocol | SP_PROTOCOL.md |
Produces final, polished, and audience‑ready outputs from all preceding governance processes. |
Each SIM‑ONE protocol:
- Is governance‑driven — Designed around the Five Laws of Cognitive Governance from the SIM‑ONE Manifesto.
- Is modular — Can operate independently or in coordination with the other protocols.
- Is openly documented — This documentation describes purpose and role, with full implementation available under the dual-license model.
- Is interoperable — Works in harmony through SIM‑ONE’s protocol orchestration model.
- Start with the Manifesto — Read
../MANIFESTO.mdfor the philosophical and architectural foundation. - Review Protocols — Open each protocol file to learn its role in governed cognition.
- See the Big Picture — Understand how the protocols integrate to produce reliable, explainable, and efficient intelligence.
The SIM-ONE Framework operates under a dual-license model:
- AGPL v3 for non-commercial use (full source code available)
- Commercial License for commercial use (proprietary modifications allowed)
Implementation details are available in the repository's code/ directory under the specified license terms.
