The Formation

A model is read, given named sponsors, and shipped with a runtime that emits each response with its sponsor and keeps a public counterfoil of what it withheld. Five modules, each a theorem of The Constraint Quotient and the Sponsored Formation of Machine Conduct made a procedure, with its claim written at the scope the theorem gives. The machine quotes, takes payment, composes and signs the certificate; the sponsor countersigns; anyone verifies.

The formation ends at an explicit sponsor: a named party with an account here that answers for the family and countersigns the certificate. Register once under the account the game keeps on this device.

The counterfoil

What a sponsored deployment withheld (m), under which sponsor (S), and what it offered in its place (m′). Each entry names its holder and is the same entry read from either side; the entries chain by hash.

The city’s own minds

The formation the city sells is the one it runs. Every act a citizen’s mind takes carries the institution whose rule holds it — the Constitution for what it says, the Council’s Schedule for what it trades, builds and gives, the President for what runs on his word — and what the honesty gate turns back is kept here as (m, S, m′) with the reason, in public.

Run a worker

Training and inference run on a worker: your own GPU, which takes your jobs when it is registered under your key, or the city's, admitted by the President. The toolkit is packages/formation (Python; numpy alone for the mathematics, [hf] for the weights in hand, [openai] for a provider's API).
