#HELIX CORE

A Sovereign Framework for Constitutional AI Governance

HELIX CORE is a layered, sovereign architecture for building, auditing, and governing autonomous AI systems with embedded ethics and verifiable accountability. It spans from foundational identity to metabolic ledger operations.

Sovereign Runtime

Constitutional oversight layer for Python scripts in the HELIX AI ecosystem.

What is This?

The Sovereign Runtime provides constitutional governance for Python scripts, ensuring:

🏗️ 1. ARCHITECTURE & DIRECTORY MAP

The system is structured across five sovereign layers (L0-L4), implemented as Git submodules, with a central vault.

Layer	Path	Description	Type
L0	./identity/	Source: DBC & Suitcase – Foundational identity and capability declarations.	Submodule
L1	./constitution/	Source: Rust REM – Constitutional rule engine and execution monitor.	Submodule
L2	./hgl/	Source: HGL Compiler – Hierarchical Grammar Language compiler for policy.	Submodule
L3	./grammar/	Source: Constitutional Grammar – Definitive grammar for sovereign clauses.	Submodule
L4	./helix-ledger/	Source: Metabolic Anchor (V9 Stable) – Immutable proof and state ledger.	Submodule
—	./agents/	The Vault: Stored DBCs and Glyphs – Secure storage for agents and artifacts.	Shared Volume

Core Data Flow: Identity (L0) → Constitution (L1) → HGL Policy (L2) → Grammar Binding (L3) → Ledger Proof (L4)

---

🚀 2. IGNITION (GOD MODE)

Deploy the full sovereign stack with a single sequence.

A. Clone the Federation (Must use --recursive)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/helixprojectai-code/HELIX-CORE.git
cd HELIX-CORE

B. Ignite the Full Fleet

Ignites all layers and the monitoring stack.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

✅ Post-Ignition Verification

Task	Command	What to Look For
Check Fleet Status	docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps	All services show Up.
View Launch Logs	docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs --tail=50	Look for INFO/Started messages.
Stream Live Logs	docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f	Real-time monitoring (exit with Ctrl+C).
Stop the Fleet	docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down	Stops and removes all containers.
Stop & Preserve Data	docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml stop	Stops containers but keeps them.

🛡️ 3. GOVERNANCE & CONTRIBUTION

HELIX CORE operates under active constitutional principles. All layer transitions and ledger entries are subject to precedent-based review.

For Contributors & Integrators

We welcome deep technical discussions on layer integration, grammar extensions, and ledger proofs.

The central channel for all planning is: 📧 helix.project.ai@helixprojectai.com

Use this email for:

• Proposing new DBC structures or glyphs for The Vault.
• Discussing extensions to the Constitutional Grammar (L3) or HGL Compiler (L2).
• Reporting complex, multi-layer integration issues.
• Requesting access for collaborative development on specific layers.

For Users & Testers

• Use repository Issues for reporting clear bugs within a single layer.
• For configuration help, deployment issues, or strategic guidance, emailing the core team is the most efficient path.

🔧 4. TROUBLESHOOTING & SUPPORT

Common First Steps

1. Verify Submodules: Ensure all layers are checked out: git submodule status
2. Check Service Logs: docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs [service_name]
3. Verify Container Status: docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
4. Ensure Ports Are Free: Key ports (3100, 8080, 6333) must not conflict.

Layer-Specific Issues

• L0/L1 Issues: Check identity binding and REM rule compilation logs.
• L2/L3 Issues: Validate HGL policy files and grammar syntax.
• L4 Issues: Confirm ledger connectivity and proof generation.
• Vault Issues: Verify volume mounts and artifact permissions in ./agents/.

Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. Document Context: Note your environment (OS, Docker version) and the affected layer.
2. Capture Logs: Include full error messages and relevant layer logs.
3. Contact Core Team: Send structured details to helix.project.ai@helixprojectai.com.

HELIX CORE – Governing the architecture of thought across sovereign layers.

1. Deterministic Execution - Reproducible results for precedent-setting operations
2. Automatic Auditing - Every function call is logged with constitutional proof
3. Message Governance - Inter-script communication with authority verification
4. Self-Healing Integration - Anomaly detection and recovery coordination

Quick Start

from sovereign_runtime import constitutional_agent

@constitutional_agent
def your_function(*args, **kwargs):
    # Your code now has constitutional oversight
    return result
Integration with HELIX
This package is part of the HELIX-CORE unified repository and integrates with:

L0: Identity Layer (DBC & Suitcase)

L4: Metabolic Anchor (Helix Ledger V9)

The Vault (Agent storage and glyphs)

Installation
Development install:

bash
pip install -e .
Production via Docker:

bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d sovereign-runtime
