MAAT Framework
Historical multi-agent research experiment
What is this?
MAAT Framework is a historical record of early experimentation with distributed agents, orchestration, governance concepts, and the idea of truth and balance as system-design constraints.
What is it for?
It preserves the development history behind later work on explicit agent authority, mediation, evidence, and machine-checkable governance without presenting the early experiment as a current product.
How is it used?
Today it is used as a historical reference point: a record of questions and prototypes that helped shape more recent, evidence-backed evaluation and governance systems.
Why does it matter?
Development history can show how a research program evolved, but only if exploratory ideas are kept separate from verified implementation claims. MAAT helps explain that progression without competing with the current portfolio evidence.
Evidence and status
The accepted portfolio authority classifies MAAT as a historical development artifact rather than a lead maturity claim. A fresh source review has not yet established which earlier implementation details remain supportable for outward use.
Claims intentionally withheld
No current-product, active-development, tension-mediation, gRPC, MCP, observability, policy-enforcement, mathematical-formalization, performance, or adoption claim is made until source-local evidence is reviewed.
Questions preserved by the record
- How might agents coordinate when authority is distributed?
- Which orchestration and governance patterns can be stated precisely enough to verify?
- How should principles, evidence, memory, and decision-making interact?
