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

Open SGI Levels are used to organize data, programs, and structures within Worlds. Levels are positive integers, built using multiplication only, with no inverses. Each prime level corresponds to an irreducible architectural foundation, and composite levels represent combinations of those foundations. This design has consequences: The number of possible composite levels is unbounded. Numeric magnitude…

Open standards are not optional—they are the conditions of safety, coordination, and global compatibility for autonomous intelligence. OAII calls on researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders to join in establishing a global standard for autonomous intelligence—one that ensures systems are not only powerful, but understandable, compatible, and safe by design.

Concerns about artificial intelligence typically center around two risks: ethical risks — unfairness, opacity, manipulation, misalignment with human values, and irresponsible use; existential risks — runaway optimization, uncontrolled self-modification, or system-level failures that threaten human wellbeing. The Open Autonomous Intelligence Initiative (OAII) was founded to address these risks at their root—not by filtering behaviors after…

This glossary serves as the unified vocabulary for the new OAII architecture. As the Architectural Foundations, AIM Base Class Model, and OAII-SRD evolve, new terms will be added, and existing terms refined.

OAII is transitioning from AIM as a fixed axiom set to AIM as the Architectural Foundations of OAII. These Foundations, together with the AIM Base Class Model and the OAII System Requirements Document, form the complete architecture for autonomous intelligence. Group intelligibility and geometric realization will be incorporated in subsequent phases of the framework.
