This wiki is the canonical reference for the vision, philosophy, and design of Trust Assembly. It exists so that anyone working on the project — human or AI — can stay true to the original intent across sessions, sprints, and years.
Trust Assembly is a civic deliberation platform where truth is the only thing that survives adversarial review.
Truth Will Out.
-
Vision & Philosophy — Why Trust Assembly exists. The novel, the Algorithmic Republic, the Forum and the Index. The problem we are solving and the world we are building toward.
-
Core Concepts — The key ideas that drive the system: corrections, juries, cross-group consensus, the Trust Score, the Cassandra Rule, Translations, and how each maps back to the philosophical vision.
-
Design Principles — The rules we follow when making decisions about features, incentives, and architecture. When in doubt, consult these.
-
Features & Mechanics — How each feature works in practice: submissions, jury review, voting, disputes, concessions, vaults, Wild West mode, AI agents.
-
Architecture & Technical Overview — System architecture, tech stack, database schema summary, browser extensions, API structure.
-
The Long Game — The full arc: from media corrections to law proposals to community angels to inter-AI accord. Why every feature decision is a civilizational one.
- Before building a new feature, read Design Principles to make sure it aligns.
- Before making an incentive or scoring change, read Vision & Philosophy to understand why the current design exists.
- When onboarding, read pages 1-3 in order.
- For implementation details, see pages 4-5.
This wiki is a living document. Update it when the system changes in ways that affect the vision or design intent.
