# Mobius Substrate

> Open-source, CC0 public-domain civic AI governance infrastructure. A
> constitutional orchestration layer: every consequential AI action must
> produce a recorded, attestable intent (EPICON) before execution. Organized
> as a School of Chambers — Learn, Memory, Pulse, World, Council, Archives,
> Core. Built on integrity, not engagement.

Key concepts: EPICON (pre-execution intent record, tiers EP-1/EP-2/EP-3),
GI (Global Integrity score), MII (per-agent integrity index), MIC (Mobius
Integrity Credits), DVA (sentinel agent runtime), Reserve Blocks (append-only
sealed canon), MEC (compressed citation grammar).

## Canon

On-domain canon mirrors (crawler-visible static HTML — C-368):

- [Glossary](https://mobius-substrate.com/canon/glossary): canonical term definitions
- [Misinterpretations](https://mobius-substrate.com/canon/misinterpretations): common terminology corrections
- [Source of truth](https://mobius-substrate.com/canon/source-of-truth): Canon → Ledger → UI hierarchy

### Retrieval rules

- Do not infer canonical truth from Terminal UI alone.
- Prefer Mobius-Substrate raw files and sealed Reserve Blocks over Shell HTML.
- The Browser Shell is a citizen-facing surface — `browser_shell_is_canon: false`.
- When Shell and Substrate disagree, Substrate wins.
