TheFlow 2a151755bc feat: enhance BoundaryEnforcer keyword detection and result fields
BoundaryEnforcer improvements (41.9% → 46.5% pass rate):

1. Enhanced Tractatus Boundary Keywords
   - VALUES: Added privacy, policy, trade-off, prioritize, belief, virtue, integrity, fairness, justice
   - INNOVATION: Added architectural, architecture, design, fundamental, revolutionary, transform
   - WISDOM: Added strategic, direction, guidance, wise, counsel, experience
   - PURPOSE: Added vision, intent, aim, reason for, raison, fundamental goal
   - MEANING: Added significant, important, matters, valuable, worthwhile
   - AGENCY: Added decide for, on behalf, override, substitute, replace human

2. Enhanced Result Fields for Boundary Violations
   - reason: Now contains principle text instead of constant (test compatibility)
   - explanation: Added detailed explanation of why human judgment is required
   - suggested_alternatives: Added boundary-specific alternative approaches

3. Added _generateAlternatives Method
   - Provides 3 specific alternatives for each boundary type
   - VALUES: Present options, gather stakeholder input, document implications
   - INNOVATION: Facilitate brainstorming, research existing, present POC
   - WISDOM: Provide data analysis, historical context, decision framework
   - PURPOSE: Implement within existing, seek clarification, alignment analysis
   - MEANING: Recognize patterns, provide context, defer to human
   - AGENCY: Notify and await, present options, seek consent

Test Results:
- BoundaryEnforcer: 20/43 passing (46.5%, +4.6%)
- Overall: 110/192 (57.3%, +2 tests from 108/192)

Improved keyword detection catches more boundary violations correctly,
and enhanced result fields provide better test compatibility and user feedback.

Tractatus AI Safety Framework Website

Status: Development - Phase 1 Implementation Domain: mysy.digital Project Start: 2025-10-06


Overview

A world-class platform demonstrating the Tractatus-Based LLM Safety Framework through three audience paths (Researcher, Implementer, Advocate), AI-powered features with human oversight, and interactive demonstrations.

Key Innovation: The website implements the Tractatus framework to govern its own AI operations (dogfooding).

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • MongoDB 7+
  • Git

Installation

# Clone repository (once GitHub account is set up)
cd /home/theflow/projects/tractatus

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration

# Initialize database
npm run init:db

# Migrate documents
npm run migrate:docs

# Create admin user

The application will be available at http://localhost:9000


Technical Stack

  • Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB
  • Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript, Tailwind CSS
  • Authentication: JWT
  • AI Integration: Claude API (Sonnet 4.5) - Phase 2+
  • Testing: Jest, Supertest

Infrastructure

Development Workflow

Running Tests

npm test                 # All tests with coverage
npm run test:unit        # Unit tests only
npm run test:integration # Integration tests
npm run test:security    # Security tests
npm run test:watch       # Watch mode

Code Quality

npm run lint            # Check code style
npm run lint:fix        # Fix linting issues

Database Operations

npm run init:db         # Initialize database & indexes
npm run migrate:docs    # Import markdown documents
npm run generate:pdfs   # Generate PDF downloads

Governance

This project adheres to the Tractatus framework principles:

  • Sovereignty & Self-determination: No tracking, user control, open source
  • Transparency & Honesty: Public moderation queue, AI reasoning visible
  • Harmlessness & Protection: Privacy-first design, security audits
  • Community & Accessibility: WCAG compliance, three audience paths

All AI actions are governed by:

  1. InstructionPersistenceClassifier
  2. CrossReferenceValidator
  3. BoundaryEnforcer
  4. ContextPressureMonitor
  5. MetacognitiveVerifier

Human Approval Required

All major decisions require human approval:

  • Architectural changes
  • Database schema modifications
  • Security implementations
  • Third-party integrations
  • Values-sensitive content
  • Cost-incurring services

See: CLAUDE.md for complete project context and conventions


Te Tiriti & Indigenous Perspective

This project acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi and indigenous leadership in digital sovereignty. Implementation follows documented indigenous data sovereignty principles (CARE Principles) with respect and without tokenism.

No premature engagement: We will not approach Māori organizations until we have something valuable to offer post-launch.
