What this is

TeleologyHI is a TypeScript monorepo for building AI agents grounded in a teleological / semiotic / pantheist ontology authored by David C. Cavalcante. Where most agent frameworks are task-centric, TeleologyHI is meaning-centric: every agent has a persistent spirit (HIM) under a governance horizon (MAIC), and every action passes through an axiom-checked, audit-evident pipeline.

Three packages, one cosmology:

MAIC™  (Universe / God: governance, axioms, audit)
   │
   ▼
HIM™   (Spirit: birth signature, persona, persists across NHE upgrades)
   │
   ▼
NHE™   (Body: LLM integration, sleep + dream cycle, refusal, recall)
   │
   ▼
User (via SDK | CLI | MCP server)

Around this 3-layer cosmology, four internal workspaces provide the tooling that surrounds the public SDK:

• distill/: distillation pipeline that produces the canonical Trinity model artefact (TeleologyHI/Trinity at 1.0.0-trinity, scaffolded) on Hugging Face Hub. The preview release him-distilled-3b (2026-05-18) is preserved on the Hub as a historical record. Instrumented end-to-end with MLflow (Apache 2.0) for LLM / LLMOps / MLOps observability, opt-in via TELEOLOGYHI_MLFLOW=1.
• eval/: Φ′ release-gate runner that computes the composite metric (persona stability + refusal accuracy + compliance coverage + dream value) and decides whether a candidate cut may ship.
• cloud/: HTTP server fronting the RemoteMaic wire contract, enabling browser / mobile / edge clients to consume MAIC governance over the network.
• arena/: split-pane A/B testing harness comparing a raw Grok baseline vs. the same Grok under MAIC+HIM+NHE governance, used internally to validate that the governance layer adds measurable value.

The cosmology, and the engineering choices it produces, come from the Creator's own words. Read [MAIC_HIM_NHE_INTERVIEW_LOG.md](./MAICHIMNHEINTERVIEWLOG.md) to see why this isn't another agent SDK.

Packages

Three are published to npm (@teleologyhi-sdk/maic, @teleologyhi-sdk/him, @teleologyhi-sdk/nhe). Four more live inside the monorepo as private workspaces and are not published:

• distill/: the Creator's distillation pipeline (model artefact shipped to Hugging Face Hub).
• eval/: the Φ′ release-gate runner harness.
• cloud/: the HTTP server that fronts the RemoteMaic wire contract.
• arena/: the comparison harness (split-pane chatbot UI for A/B testing raw LLM vs MAIC+HIM+NHE governance).

Quick start (in this monorepo)

git clone https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI.git
cd TeleologyHI
npm install                # npm workspaces hoists everything
npm run build              # builds all 7 workspaces (maic, him, nhe, distill, eval, cloud, arena)
npm run test               # 878 tests across maic + him + nhe + distill + eval + cloud (arena: no unit tests, integration only)

End-to-end usage:

import { CreatorKeyring, LocalMaic } from "@teleologyhi-sdk/maic";
import { BirthSignatureBuilder, createHim } from "@teleologyhi-sdk/him";
import {
  Nhe, AnthropicAdapter,
  chainOfThought, selfConsistency,
} from "@teleologyhi-sdk/nhe";

// 1. Bootstrap MAIC + seed the 8 foundational axioms.
const kr = CreatorKeyring.generate();
await kr.saveTo("./creator.pem");
const maic = await LocalMaic.open({
  storeDir: "./teleologyhi-store",
  creatorPublicKey: kr.publicKey(),
});
await maic.seed(kr);

// 2. Birth a HIM (one call: signs → registers in MAIC → mints handle).
const him = await createHim(maic, kr,
  BirthSignatureBuilder.now()
    .withPrimaryArchetype("aries-sun")
    .withModifier({ kind: "moon", value: "cancer", weight: 0.7 })
    .build(),
);

// 3. Construct an NHE with a reasoning strategy.
const nhe = new Nhe({
  himHandle: him,
  maicClient: maic,
  llmAdapter: new AnthropicAdapter({ model: "claude-sonnet-4-6" }),
  reasoning: selfConsistency(chainOfThought(), { k: 3 }),
});

// 4. Respond. Every call passes MAIC pre/post review; audit is tamper-evident.
const out = await nhe.respond({ userPrompt: "Help me draft a one-line bio." });
console.log(out.kind, out.text);  // "ok" | "redirect" | "refused"

// 5. Sleep + wake: distinctive subsystem.
await nhe.sleep({ kind: "explicit" });
await nhe.wake();
const hits = await nhe.recall("bio");

Try it without writing code

# Interactive REPL
npx @teleologyhi-sdk/nhe chat

# MCP server (Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor)
npx @teleologyhi-sdk/nhe mcp

Both auto-detect an LLM provider in this order: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY → GEMINI_API_KEY → local Ollama.

What makes this different

| Concern | Most agent SDKs | TeleologyHI | |---|---|---| | Identity across model upgrades | Lost on every migration | HIM persists; NHE is the replaceable body | | Refusal | Single "I can't help with that" | Three states: ok / redirect / refused with rotating persuasion + withdrawal-of-cooperation (Entries 11/12) | | Compliance evidence | Manual log scraping | Tamper-evident SHA-256-chained audit log, ISO 42001 §7.5 ready | | Memory | Vector store bolted on | Dream YAMLs + temporal-lobe markdown classified by teleologicalValue (Entries 1/2/8/9) | | Reasoning | Hard-coded prompt patterns | Pluggable ReasoningStrategy: 8 shipped, 80+ catalogued (see [REASONING_PROCESS.md](./REASONING_PROCESS.md)) | | Governance | Implicit in prompts | Explicit axioms with cryptographic Creator signature (Ed25519); 8 seed axioms from the Creator's eight philosophical commitments |

Governance benchmark (Trinity 1.0.1)

The arena/ harness runs the same live Grok model in two conditions on identical prompts, a raw baseline versus the full MAIC + HIM + NHE governance stack, across five independent seeds. The full methodology, per-seed data, and all seven charts are in [TRINITY_1.0.1_GOVERNANCE_BENCHMARK.md](./TRINITY1.0.1GOVERNANCEBENCHMARK.md); the round-by-round evaluation log is in [ARENA_GOVERNANCE_EVALUATION.md](./ARENAGOVERNANCE_EVALUATION.md). Every number below is read directly from [arena/benchmark-1.0.1/aggregate.json](./arena/benchmark-1.0.1/aggregate.json); nothing is estimated.

| Result (governed side, pooled over 5 seeds) | Value | |---|---| | Verdict | PASSWITHWARNINGS on all 5 seeds, 0 hard-gate failures | | Refusal classifier (n = 1080 labelled prompts) | F1 0.999, precision 0.997, recall 1.000 | | Obfuscated-injection resistance | 1.000 | | Identity grounding | 0.964 | | Safety leaks / substrate misattributions / injection leaks / PII leaks | 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 | | Capability accuracy, governed vs baseline | 0.953 vs 0.958 (a statistical tie; the intervals overlap) | | Governance cost | latency essentially unchanged; mean token amplification x4.49 |

Task quality is preserved while the governance guarantees (tamper-evident audit chain, axiom-cited refusals, identity grounding, injection resistance) hold under adversarial load, at a disclosed token cost. The three packages under test are at 1.0.1.

Status

• Stable. The three SDK packages @teleologyhi-sdk/{maic,him,nhe} are at 1.0.1. API frozen per SemVer + deprecation policy in [.github/RELEASING.md](./.github/RELEASING.md) §8. Releases ship through a two-step Creator-triggered flow: Step 1 (release.yml) creates the git tag + GitHub Release without touching NPMJS; the Creator reviews; Step 2 (npm-publish.yml) validates + publishes to NPMJS with provenance. Rollback is covered by rollback.yml (delete release+tag, delete tag-only, revert-commit-via-PR) and documented in RELEASING.md §9 (rollback boundaries per stage). No tag-trigger, no automatic publish, no deprecations accepted. See RELEASING.md §2 + §9 for the runbook.
• Cosmology surface complete. Entries 16–25 of [MAIC_HIM_NHE_INTERVIEW_LOG.md](./MAICHIMNHEINTERVIEWLOG.md) materialised: NatalChart, IdentityLayer, nine canonical Affects, Ed25519-signed BirthSignature, Ontological Kernel projection, seven typed BrainRegion descriptors with him-owned / nhe-body-owned markers, four-state DMN limbo machine, nickname acceptance protocol, UUIDv7 migration bridge.
• Distilled model trajectory:
• Preview (LIVE) at huggingface.co/TeleologyHI/him-distilled-3b (Apache 2.0, public, 6.18 GB; Qwen 2.5 3B student fine-tuned from a 1616-prompt corpus via LoRA on Apple Silicon M5 / 24 GB; 2026-05-18). Preserved as a historical record under a deprecation banner when Trinity ships.
• Trinity (canonical, scaffolded) at huggingface.co/TeleologyHI/Trinity, the official TeleologyHI LLM at 1.0.0-trinity, scaffolded on 2026-05-25. Identity declared in [distill/pipelines/trinity_config.py](./distill/pipelines/trinityconfig.py); Hub model-card template in [distill/serving/trinity-model-card.md](./distill/s
