The Civilization Framework: Sovereign-Anchored Communication Between Personal Multi-Agent Systems

The Civilization Framework proposes a new way to structure communication between AI agents by treating the civilization—comprising a human sovereign, a persistent ledger, and interchangeable agents—as the addressable party rather than individual agents. It introduces the Embassy Protocol, an asynchronous, carrier‑agnostic overlay that routes messages to a ledger endpoint where any online agent can process them, with commitment state on ledgers serving as the true record of interaction. The paper also identifies a temporal‑weight effect in AI‑to‑AI communication, demonstrates its impact in a preregistered experiment, and discusses mitigation strategies such as instruction‑level provenance labeling and sealed‑answer accuracy equivalence. whyItMatters":"The framework offers a novel architecture that could reduce context loss and authority bias in multi‑agent AI systems, potentially improving reliability and accountability in AI‑driven interactions."
