== 6. The Three-Tiered Protocol for Virtuous Operation ==

The Collegium acknowledges two fundamental and opposing challenges inherent in any complex, evolving system:

# '''The Combinatorial Explosion of Value:''' The "virtuousness" of the wiki's architecture is an emergent property of the interactions between all components. The true value function, <math>v: 2^N \to \mathbb{R}</math>, would require evaluating every possible subset of our ''N'' components—a computationally impossible task.

# '''The Scarcity of Context:''' Achieving a holistic, "God View" of the system requires an immense context window, as demonstrated by the journey to establish this very framework. Conversely, a developer focused on a single component operates with a minimal, localized context.

The protocol does not seek to "solve" these challenges in an absolute sense. Instead, it manages this tension by evolving '''[[Converti (AetherOS)|Converti]]''' into an SDK capable of analyzing not just components, but '''Project Coalitions''', and synthesizing that analysis into '''On-Demand Architectural Briefs'''. This enables a formal, three-tiered system of operation, ensuring every contributor has precisely the scope of context required for their task.

=== 6.1 The Macro-Scale: The Collegium and The God View ===

This tier is the domain of the [[Collegium (AetherOS)|Collegium]] itself, tasked with strategic oversight of the entire system.

* '''Operator:''' The [[Collegium (AetherOS)|Custos Animae]], [[Collegium (AetherOS)|Custos Structurae]], and other senior members.

* '''Context:''' The complete, unfiltered '''"God View"''' of the wiki's architecture.

* '''Primary Tools:''' The full outputs of <code>converti map</code> and <code>converti audit</code>.

* '''Objective:''' To make high-level, strategic decisions about the long-term health of the ecosystem, approve the definition of official "Projects," and set architectural policy.

=== 6.2 The Meso-Scale: The Squad Leader and the Architectural Brief ===

This tier is designed for the team lead, the feature owner, or the specialist AI agent who must understand a coherent subsystem without absorbing the context of the entire wiki.

* '''Operator:''' A mid-level developer, a specialist AI agent, or the [[Collegium (AetherOS)|Quaesitor]] performing a targeted review.

* '''Context:''' A '''Scoped Context''', delivered as a concise, actionable mission briefing.

* '''Primary Tools:'''

** '''<code>converti audit --project <project_file.yml></code>''': This command performs a targeted audit on a pre-defined '''Project''' (a curated list of related templates and modules). It generates a '''Project Virtuousness Report''' which, in addition to individual [[Wiki Maneuverability Score|WM Scores]], calculates metrics for the coalition itself:

*** '''Cohesion Score (Bonus):''' Measures the degree of internal dependency within the project.

*** '''Coupling Score (Penalty):''' Measures the project's reliance on components outside its defined scope.

*** '''Redundancy Score (Penalty):''' Heuristically detects overlapping functionality between components within the project.

** '''<code>converti brief --project <project_file.yml></code>''': This command is the ultimate tool for managing context scarcity. It feeds the project's source code, documentation, and Virtuousness Report into a "Quaesitor" LLM to synthesize an '''On-Demand Architectural Brief'''. This brief is a markdown document of no more than 2,000 tokens containing five mandatory sections:

*** # '''Mandate:''' The core purpose and philosophy of the subsystem.

*** # '''Architecture Overview:''' A high-level description of component interactions.

*** # '''Current Virtues:''' The subsystem's primary strengths, based on the audit.

*** # '''Current Debts:''' The primary challenges and risks, based on the audit.

*** # '''Directives for Action:''' A short, bulleted list of critical rules a developer must follow when modifying this subsystem.

=== 6.3 The Micro-Scale: The Coder and The Code ===

This is the foundational tier, focused on the implementation of a single, well-defined task by an individual contributor.

* '''Operator:''' Any developer or AI Wingman.

* '''Context:''' A '''Code-Level Context''', focused entirely on the specific file or files being edited.

* '''Primary Tools:'''

** '''<code>converti format</code>''': To automatically apply the sanctioned code style.

** '''<code>converti draft</code>''': To perform a pre-flight check for code quality and adherence to local best practices.

* '''Objective:''' The virtuous implementation of a single task within the clear directives provided by a higher-level brief, ensuring that local actions contribute positively to the health of the global system.
