TheFlow 759a37fbeb legal: add Apache 2.0 copyright headers and NOTICE file
- Add copyright headers to 5 core service files:
  - BoundaryEnforcer.service.js
  - ContextPressureMonitor.service.js
  - CrossReferenceValidator.service.js
  - InstructionPersistenceClassifier.service.js
  - MetacognitiveVerifier.service.js

- Create NOTICE file per Apache License 2.0 requirements

This strengthens copyright protection and makes enforcement easier.
Git history provides proof of authorship. No registration required
for copyright protection, but headers make ownership explicit.

Tractatus AI Safety Framework Website

Status: Development - Phase 1 Implementation Domain: agenticgovernance.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
npm run seed:admin

# Start development server
npm run dev

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

  • MongoDB Port: 27017
  • Application Port: 9000
  • Database: tractatus_dev
  • Systemd Service: mongodb-tractatus.service, tractatus.service

Phase 1 Deliverables (3-4 Months)

Must-Have for Complete Prototype:

  • Infrastructure setup
  • Document migration pipeline
  • Three audience paths (Researcher/Implementer/Advocate)
  • Tractatus governance services (Classifier, Validator, Boundary Enforcer)
  • AI-curated blog with human oversight
  • Media inquiry triage system
  • Case study submission portal
  • Resource directory
  • Interactive demonstrations (classification, 27027, boundary enforcement)
  • Human oversight dashboard
  • Comprehensive testing suite

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.
