🏛️ The Mycelix Charters¶

Modular Governance Framework

Overview¶

The Mycelix governance framework consists of The Spore Constitution (foundational principles) plus Four Modular Charters that can evolve independently:

1. Epistemic Charter - Truth & Knowledge Infrastructure
2. Governance Charter - Decision-Making Processes
3. Economic Charter - Value Flows & Incentives
4. Commons Charter - Shared Resources & Stewardship

All charters are subordinate to the Constitution and must align with its Core Principles.

📜 The Spore Constitution¶

The foundational constitutional document:

• The Mycelix Spore Constitution v0.24 - Current
• Status: Active
• Defines: Core Principles, Agent Sovereignty, Subsidiarity

• Supersedes: All charters in case of conflict

• Constitution v0.22 - Previous version (archived)

🧠 The Four Charters¶

1. Epistemic Charter - Truth & Knowledge Infrastructure¶

Defines how the network understands, classifies, and verifies truth.

• Epistemic Charter v2.0 - Current ✨ LATEST
• Revolutionary 3D "Epistemic Cube" framework
• E-Axis: Empirical Verifiability (E0-E4)
• N-Axis: Normative Authority (N0-N3)
• M-Axis: Materiality/State Management (M0-M3)
• Published: November 2025

• Supersedes: v1.0

• Epistemic Charter v1.0 - Previous version (archived)

• Used 1D "Layered Epistemic Model"
• Superseded by v2.0's 3D cube

Key Innovation: First framework to classify all forms of knowledge (from ephemeral "likes" to mathematical proofs) along three independent axes.

2. Governance Charter - Decision-Making Processes¶

Defines how decisions are made across all scales.

• Governance Charter v1.0 - Current
• Federated tier system: Hearths → Sectors → Regions → Global
• MIP (Mycelix Improvement Proposal) framework
• Member Redress Council and dispute resolution
• Voting mechanisms and quorum requirements

3. Economic Charter - Value Flows & Incentives¶

Defines how value flows and how contributions are rewarded.

• Economic Charter v1.0 - Current
• Reputation-weighted validator economics
• Stake requirements and slashing conditions
• Multi-currency exchange architecture
• Contribution accounting

4. Commons Charter - Shared Resources & Stewardship¶

Defines how shared resources (especially the DKG) are managed.

• Commons Charter v1.0 - Current
• Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) as commons
• Contribution accounting and attribution
• Audit Guild and Knowledge Council roles
• Stewardship principles

🔄 Charter Evolution & Versioning¶

Versioning Convention¶

Charters use semantic versioning: - Major version (e.g., v1.0 → v2.0): Fundamental changes to framework - Minor version (e.g., v2.0 → v2.1): Additions/clarifications without breaking changes

Amendment Process¶

Per Constitution Article IV: 1. MIP submitted by any member 2. Discussion period (minimum 30 days) 3. Global DAO vote (⅔ majority required) 4. Ratification by federated tiers 5. New version published with clear supersession tracking

📊 Current Charter Status¶

🎯 Design Principles¶

Modularity¶

Each charter can evolve independently without requiring changes to others.

Example: Epistemic Charter v2.0 introduced the 3D Epistemic Cube without requiring changes to Governance, Economic, or Commons charters.

Subsidiarity¶

Decisions are made at the lowest competent level.

Example: Local DAOs (N1 Communal) can set their own rules, as long as they don't conflict with Network (N2) or Constitutional (N3) principles.

Transparency¶

All charter documents are open, versioned, and include clear rationales.

Backward Compatibility¶

Where possible, new versions maintain compatibility with previous versions during transition periods.

Interaction Examples: - Epistemic ↔ Governance: Dispute resolution paths based on E/N/M axes - Economic ↔ Epistemic: Slashing triggered by E-Axis dispute resolution - Commons ↔ All: DKG stores all claims classified by Epistemic framework
