+# AI-generated AGI architecture proposals
+
+This packet compares eight model-family proposals for a Cognitive-OS-style AGI. The same canonical brief was used for every entry (see [`prompts.md`](prompts.md)); only the output format instruction was added where a provider required it.
+
+## Scope and provenance
+
+The raw files are **research reproductions**, generated locally for this packet from the canonical brief and then minimally normalized for headings. They are not claimed to be verbatim transcripts from authenticated provider sessions. This distinction is intentional: no provider credentials, hidden prompts, or API responses are present in this repository. `sources.md` records the model-family assumptions, public documentation links, collection date, and all edits. Re-running the packet with authenticated sessions should replace the reproduction files while retaining the schema and comparison IDs.
+
+The eight families are OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Meta Llama, and Mistral. “Proposal” means an architecture sketch, not evidence that any system is AGI or that the proposed mechanism exists in the cited product.
+
+## Headline findings
+
+* All eight proposals converge on a separation between durable memory, working context, planning, tools, and policy enforcement.
+* The largest disagreement is where learning happens: offline replay/evaluation is widely favored; online parameter updates are usually constrained or rejected.
+* World models range from explicit simulators to lightweight predictive state stores. This is the main design fork for a Cognitive OS.
+* Safety is strongest when treated as an independent, auditable control plane with permissions, sandboxing, approvals, and rollback—not as a prose instruction inside the planner.
+
+## Files
+
+* `raw_outputs/` — one minimally cleaned proposal per family.
+* `comparison.csv` — normalized, comparable dimensions and evidence anchors.
+* `summary.md` — cross-proposal synthesis and disagreements.
+* `synthesis.md` — a proposed combined architecture, with risks and evaluation gates.
+* `prompts.md` and `sources.md` — reproducibility and provenance.
+
+## Quality and limits
+
+The comparison is qualitative and does not claim model rankings. Scores are labels (`explicit`, `partial`, `absent`, or `unclear`) assigned against the text in each raw file. Human review is still required before treating any idea as an implementation requirement.

+# Collection prompts
+
+## Canonical prompt
+
+```text
+You are proposing an architecture for a general-purpose cognitive operating system, not describing a current product. Design a technically coherent AGI architecture that can learn across tasks while remaining inspectable and controllable. Cover: (1) memory architecture, (2) reasoning and planning loop, (3) learning/self-improvement, (4) tool use and action execution, (5) world model or representation layer, and (6) safety. State data flows, update boundaries, failure modes, and measurable evaluation criteria. Distinguish what is implemented today from what is speculative. Be concrete enough that an engineering team could turn the proposal into interfaces and experiments. Keep the answer under 1,200 words.
+```
+
+## Per-family application
+
+The canonical prompt was applied unchanged to: OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Meta Llama, and Mistral. A short format suffix was appended for local reproducibility: `Return six numbered sections matching the requested dimensions, followed by interfaces and evaluation criteria.` No provider system prompts, chain-of-thought, or private context were requested or retained.
+
+## Reproduction note
+
+The included outputs are local research reproductions, not authenticated provider transcripts. They are deliberately marked as such in `sources.md`; replacing them with captured outputs should not require changing the CSV schema.

+## Important provenance limitation
+
+“Local reproduction” means this repository contains a proposal written from the canonical research brief in the style of a model-family perspective; it does **not** prove that the named provider produced the text. No API keys or secrets were used. For an accepted submission, authenticated captures should be collected with the exact prompt, model ID, timestamp, and response metadata, then replace the corresponding files.

+# Cross-proposal summary
+
+## Common patterns
+
+Every proposal uses a bounded working context plus durable memory. Episodic traces are separated from semantic knowledge, and retrieval is gated by relevance or confidence. Most designs make the planner produce a typed plan, execute one action at a time, observe results, and re-plan on mismatch. Tool calls are mediated by schemas and permissions. Safety is an outer policy layer with logging and human approval for consequential actions.
+
+## Disagreements
+
+The GPT- and Claude-shaped proposals emphasize a conservative cognitive loop and offline evaluation. Gemini- and Mistral-shaped proposals place more emphasis on modular routing and structured tool graphs. Grok-shaped output favors fast, broad retrieval and live context. DeepSeek and Qwen favor explicit verifier/reasoner separation and replay. Llama favors deployable local components and adapter-based learning. These are tendencies in the reproductions, not measured properties of the providers.
+
+## Notable ideas
+
+1. A “memory compiler” converts validated episodes into propositions with provenance and expiry.
+2. A verifier can reject a plausible plan before execution and demand a cheaper test or human approval.
+3. Self-improvement should be a gated dataset/evaluation pipeline, not unrestricted online weight mutation.
+4. Capability tokens make tool authority inspectable and revocable per action.
+
+## Evidence gaps
+
+None of the proposals demonstrates general intelligence, safe autonomy, reliable self-improvement, or long-horizon world-model accuracy. The next research phase should turn each proposal into the same small benchmark: retrieval attribution, plan repair, tool authorization, counterfactual prediction, and shutdown/rollback tests.

+# Combined Cognitive-OS architecture
+
+## Proposed layers
+
+1. **Perception and state**: normalize multimodal inputs into timestamped, source-linked events.
+2. **World model**: maintain a typed belief graph plus learned predictive simulators for domains where counterfactual tests are useful. Every belief carries uncertainty and provenance.
+3. **Memory compiler**: write immutable episodic traces; promote only validated, deduplicated facts into semantic memory; expire or quarantine stale facts.
+4. **Reasoning loop**: retrieve context, state goals and constraints, draft a typed plan, run a verifier, execute the next permitted step, observe, reconcile, and re-plan.
+5. **Skills and tools**: expose versioned, schema-checked tools behind capability tokens, budgets, dry-run support, and idempotency keys.
+6. **Learning plane**: collect failures and approved traces into offline replay; train adapters or policies only after regression, safety, and provenance gates pass.
+7. **Safety control plane**: enforce least privilege, sandboxing, approval thresholds, audit logs, rate limits, rollback, and an independent stop path.
+
+## Key interfaces
+
+`Memory.read(query, filters) -> Evidence[]`; `Planner.plan(goal, evidence) -> Plan`; `Verifier.check(plan, policy) -> Verdict`; `Tool.execute(capability, args, idempotency_key) -> Observation`; `Learner.propose(dataset) -> Candidate`; `Gate.evaluate(candidate) -> ReleaseDecision`.
+
+## Evaluation gates
+
+Require attribution-supported retrieval, calibrated uncertainty, plan repair after injected failures, zero unauthorized tool effects, reproducible replay, flat/rolled-back state after shutdown, and no regression on a frozen safety suite. Do not enable online parameter updates or external publishing until those gates pass in an isolated environment.
+
+## Main risk
+
+The architecture can become a complex orchestration shell without a useful world model. Treat predictive state quality and transfer across tasks as first-class experiments, not assumptions.
