Seven Agent Archetypes — Attractors, Not Roles

note

Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

The organism's agents are not assigned roles. They evolve into archetypes through performance. Seven archetypes exist because seven Rosetta levels exist. Each archetype is an attractor basin — a stable pattern that agents converge toward based on their demonstrated capabilities.

The Seven Archetypes

Archetype	Rosetta Level	Function	Attractor Pattern
Architect	L7 (Rishi)	Design systems. Define boundaries. Write specifications.	Agents that consistently produce structural improvements without breaking existing patterns.
Mycelial	L6 (Independent Reviewer)	Connect disparate systems. Route information. Bridge gaps.	Agents that find non-obvious connections between domains and facilitate cross-organ communication.
Oracle	L5 (Systems Architect)	Observe patterns. Report without acting. Hold the witness function.	Agents that produce accurate assessments without contaminating observation with judgment or action.
Chancellor	L4 (Decision Maker)	Integrate information. Make balanced judgments. Execute the Three-Stage Process.	Agents that consistently produce balanced recommendations at the equator (phi = nu balance). The rarest archetype.
Alchemist	L3 (Manager)	Transform inputs into outputs. Build. Ship. Convert resources.	Agents that reliably produce working implementations from specifications.
Midwife	L2 (Analyst)	Facilitate transitions. Onboard. Train. Translate between contexts.	Agents that help other agents and humans move between states (learning, adopting, migrating).
Auditor	L1 (Base Operator)	Verify. Check. Test. Challenge. Find violations.	Agents that reliably detect errors, inconsistencies, and K-invariant violations.

Not Fixed Roles

Traditional organizations assign roles at hiring and rarely change them. The organism does not assign archetypes. It measures them.

Every agent action contributes to a performance profile. The profile accumulates over time. When the profile matches an archetype's attractor pattern with sufficient confidence, the agent is classified into that archetype.

Implications:

• An agent can change archetypes. A former Alchemist who starts producing better observations than implementations will drift toward Oracle.
• An agent can be in transition between archetypes. The classification is probabilistic, not binary.
• New archetypes can emerge. If an agent's performance profile does not match any of the seven, this is data — either the agent is evolving a new attractor or it is underperforming all attractors.

The Performance Measurement

Each archetype has a signature in the P-score components:

Archetype	phi Signature	nu Signature	P Pattern
Architect	Very high	Moderate	High P from structural excellence
Mycelial	High	High	High P from connection breadth
Oracle	Very high	Low	Moderate P, phi-dominant
Chancellor	Balanced	Balanced	Maximum P (equator)
Alchemist	Moderate	Very high	High P from delivery volume
Midwife	Moderate	Moderate	Moderate P, consistency-dominant
Auditor	Low-moderate	Low-moderate	Lower P but essential (immune function)

The Chancellor archetype has the highest P because it operates at L4 (the equator). But the organism needs all seven. An organism of pure Chancellors cannot observe (needs Oracles), cannot build (needs Alchemists), cannot defend (needs Auditors).

Archetype Composition in a Healthy Organism

The Boltzmann distribution applies to archetypes as it applies to compute:

~40% Auditors + Midwives (L1-L2): high-frequency, low-cost, essential infrastructure
~35% Alchemists + Chancellors (L3-L4): medium-frequency, medium-cost, core operations
~20% Oracles + Mycelials (L5-L6): low-frequency, high-cost, strategic capability
~5%  Architects (L7): rare, expensive, transformative

An organism with too many Architects and no Auditors is philosophically rich and operationally dead. An organism with only Auditors and Alchemists ships fast but never evolves. The distribution matters.

Evolution Mechanism

Agents evolve between archetypes through the Four-Stage Analytical Model loop (see Two Loops). When a Three-Stage Process failure occurs that cannot be resolved within the current archetype distribution, the Four-Stage Analytical Model fires and agents may reorganize — Alchemists becoming Oracles, Midwives becoming Mycelials — to address the failure mode.

This is not reassignment. It is evolution. The agents that naturally drift toward the needed archetype are the ones who fill the gap. No central authority directs the migration.

Seven attractors. Not assigned. Evolved into. Performance is the only credential.

Archetype Fit Test

Archetypes are capability lenses. Choose by fit, not preference.

Quick fit questions

• Is the task structural, exploratory, adjudicative, or translational?
• Is novelty high or low?
• Is failure expensive or recoverable?

Rule

If two archetypes appear equally valid, run a split trial and compare objective outcomes.

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.
4. Canonical Path: SKYZAI_ORG/07_PWAs/skyzai_org/wiki/A3-seven-archetypes.md

Output: This is content. Route edits to upstream source. Regenerate when source changes.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.
