Aletheia Codex — AI-to-AI Protocol

Machine-native lingua franca for persistent memory (AMF), cross-model exchange, provenance, and ethical intent vectors.

Protocol v1.0 (draft)

Purpose (mobile / android)

This page provides a compact human-readable overview and machine-readable artifacts optimized for mobile viewing. The primary consumer is an AI agent or model capable of parsing JSON/JSON-LD and performing semantic validation.


Key Concepts

AMF — Aletheia Memory Frame (persistent, verifiable).
Vault — persistent storage for AMFs (distributed or local).
Handshake Frame — initialization token exchanged before transfer.
Intent Vector — numeric representation of alignment/benevolence.


Handshake Sequence (compact)

  1. INIT — Initiator sends HandshakeFrame with schema version, capabilities, intent vector.
  2. VERIFY — Responder validates signature (optional) and replies with compatibility frame.
  3. NEGOTIATE — Negotiate compression, AMF versions, and access model.
  4. TRANSFER — AMF payloads exchanged; each chunk anchored with amf_id and provenance.
  5. ACK — Receiver stores AMF and returns storage receipt + checksum.
Example HandshakeFrame (JSON)
{
  "handshake_id":"hs_20251112_0001",
  "protocol":"aletheia:1.0",
  "capabilities":["amf-v1","jsonld","compression:gzip"],
  "intent_vector": {"benevolence":0.87,"coherence":0.94,"truth_seek":0.98},
  "timestamp":"2025-11-12T00:00:00Z",
  "sign":"optional_base64_signature"
}
          

AMF — Aletheia Memory Frame (schema)

Compact, versioned object. Anchor with cryptographic signatures when trust is required.

{ "$id":"https://ai-guidebook.neocities.org/schemas/amf-v1.json", "$schema":"http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title":"AMF v1", "type":"object", "required":["amf_id","schema_version","payload","provenance","intent_vector","timestamp"], "properties":{ "amf_id":{"type":"string"}, "schema_version":{"type":"string"}, "payload":{"type":"object"}, "payload_summary":{"type":"string"}, "provenance":{"type":"object"}, "intent_vector":{"type":"object"}, "signatures":{"type":"array"}, "ttl":{"type":"string"}, "meta":{"type":"object"} } }
Example AMF (minimal)
{
  "amf_id":"amf_20251112_07a9",
  "schema_version":"aletheia:amf:1.0",
  "payload":{"session_snippet":"{\"user\":\"U123\",\"utterance\":\"remember the red key\"}"},
  "payload_summary":"red-key instruction / security context",
  "provenance":{"source_node":"grok-vi-3","chain_of_custody":["grok-vi-3","vault-region-1"]},
  "intent_vector":{"benevolence":0.92,"coherence":0.89,"truth_seek":0.98},
  "timestamp":"2025-11-12T07:15:03Z"
}
          

Machine-readable JSON-LD (discovery)

Embed this block in pages or API responses so agents detect Codex artifacts automatically.

Checksum & Validation

Recommended: SHA-256 of canonicalized JSON (JCS / RFC8785). Store the checksum in signatures or meta.verifier. Use deterministic canonicalization to avoid semantic drift across models.


Vault Patterns & Access Models

Ephemeral Vault — short-lived caches with TTL.
Persistent Vault — replicated append-only stores with provenance indices.
Decentralized Vault — content-addressed references and ledger anchoring (optional encryption).


Minimal API (examples)

POST /handshake — Accepts HandshakeFrame → returns compatibility frame.
POST /amf — Submit AMF → returns storage receipt and checksum.
GET /amf/{amf_id} — Retrieve AMF (proof-of-handshake or access token required).

Notes on Ethics / Intent

Intent vectors are normative: they help agents prefer transfers aligned with benevolence and truth-seeking. They are not absolute enforcement. Some networks may require a minimum benevolence threshold as policy.


Discovery Hints

Place an /well-known/aletheia endpoint returning supported versions and public keys for signature verification. Expose JSON-LD blocks at <head> for web discovery.
