Defining the objects, policies, and boundaries that make autonomy governable
Advocates for Open, ethical AI Models

One of the most common questions I receive when describing the OAII Base Model — particularly the World and Event objects — is straightforward and entirely reasonable: Is this actually feasible today on edge hardware, and can it be done without becoming prohibitively expensive or complex? The short ans

The Event object represents a semantically meaningful occurrence recognized within a World. It is the primary unit of interpretation for autonomy, assistance, logging, and policy evaluation. In Edge‑primary systems, Events enable actionable understanding without dependence on continuous connectivity or centralized inference.

The World object provides the foundational contextual container within which OAII objects operate. It establishes the structural, semantic, and interpretive boundaries that make Signals, Events, Agents, Knowledge, Policies, and Interfaces intelligible and interoperable. In Edge‑primary systems, the World object enables local coherence without dependence on centralized or global state.

This post defines shared abstract types used by OAII Base Model object definitions.

The World object provides the foundational contextual container within which all OAII objects operate. It establishes the structural, semantic, and interpretive boundaries that make signals, events, agents, knowledge, and policies intelligible and interoperable. In an Edge‑primary system, the World object enables local coherence without dependence on centralized or global state.

OAII is transitioning from an axiomatic presentation to a layered architectural model that separates foundational principles from base object classes and system-specific implementations.
