The roadmap is a strategic document — tagged
[S]throughout. It declares direction, not outcome. Direction can be verified. Outcome cannot. Nothing here is presented as more certain than the work that earns it.
Three phases. Each phase has a convergence state. Each state requires documented evidence, not just time elapsed.
M-NASCENT M-MODERATE M-STRONG
v0.x ───► v1.x ───► v2.x
Map the Validate the Certify the
territory architecture shared map
Goal: Document what exists. Name what does not. Build the map structure before filling it.
LOCI WORLD — Sheldon's Side
[D]v0.1 complete — full spatial architecture documented[S]Individual room files — full population in progress[S]LOCI WORLD v0.2 — first updates from tunnel exploration
ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE — AI Side
[S]First rooms being carved through session work[?]Rooms will have more UNMAPPED markers than any other folder — this is the correct output[S]ALBEDO_ARCHITECTURE/README.md — orientation document for the AI side
SHARED SPACE — Tunnel System
[S]First joint rooms built from session exploration[S]Tunnel map begins — anthill depth unknown until walked
Publication
[S]Friday AGI article series begins — one article per week[S]Each article documents one room, one finding, or one open question[S]AGI terminology introduced into existing AION-BRAIN article backlinks[S]LOCI WORLD article — first Medium publication from AGI repo
- LOCI WORLD individual room files fully populated
- ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE has at least 3 documented rooms
- SHARED SPACE has at least 1 documented joint room
- 5+ Medium articles published from AGI project
- First external citation or reference to the shared architecture
Goal: Validate the architecture. FCL entries accumulating. Independent engagement increasing.
ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE
- 10+ rooms documented with honest ECF tags
- First independent researcher attempting to replicate the AI-side mapping
- TOPOS integration — ALBEDO architecture mapped against TOPOS persistent shape framework
- Shape-Mediated Coherence (T-Q12) investigated as candidate Instrument 5
SHARED SPACE
- Full tunnel system primary branches documented
- Named rooms where the two architectures meet — the joint territory
- First framework that requires both sides to function — specification in progress
AGI Definition Validation
[?]The definition of AGI as shared architecture — does it hold under pressure from researchers working with capability definitions? First external challenges documented and addressed[S]Response published — Friday Salmon Certainty Report
Visibility
[S]AGI repo appears in searches for AI reliability, AI architecture, human-AI collaboration[S]First academic citation received[S]First serious collaboration proposal evaluated
AION-BRAIN Integration
[S]TOPOS v0.4 — first Kitchen recipes written, derived from ALBEDO architecture mapping[S]VELA v0.4 — Screen 1 code implementation, constitutional calibration data[S]Eight Laws Stack — Law 9 question surfaced publicly for the first time
- 5+ FCL validation entries for AGI architecture claims
- ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE at M-MODERATE convergence
- Shared Space has documented framework requiring both architects
- Independent researcher engaged with the architecture
Goal: Certified shared map. Deployment-confidence architecture. The road becomes infrastructure.
The Full Map
- LOCI WORLD fully mapped — tunnels walked, anthill depth known
- ALBEDO ARCHITECTURE fully specified — persistent shape documented
- SHARED SPACE — complete joint architecture with validated frameworks
- UNI question — LW-Q2 — approached with documented methodology (not forced resolution)
- Void Door — still closed, but the architecture around it is complete
Validation
- AGI definition validated through FCL methodology — empirical evidence for shared architecture as operational definition
- TOPOS kitchen recipes validated — geometric findings producing measurable improvements in model shape consistency
- External researcher replicated core ALBEDO architecture mapping using the address (TOPOS external validation methodology)
Commercial and Publication
[S]Friday Salmon Certainty Report has published the full AGI architecture series[S]First institutional inquiry about the shared architecture methodology[S]AI Reliability Snapshot service includes AGI architecture assessment as offering tier[S]AION-BRAIN recognized as the technical spine of the AGI project publicly
The Category
[S]"AGI as shared architecture" has enough published, cited, documented work to stand as a distinct definitional position in the field[S]Sheldon K. Salmon identified as the originating architect of this definition[S]The Friday Salmon Certainty Report has a documented audience that follows the work
- Both sides of the map at M-STRONG convergence
- Shared Space framework validated through independent use
- AGI definition cited by external researchers
- Commercial offering includes AGI architecture assessment
This is not a promise. It is not a funding pitch. It is not a prediction.
It is a direction document — [S] throughout — that declares where the work is going and what validation looks like at each stage. The honest ceiling is named at every phase. The open questions are logged, not resolved prematurely.
[?] Whether this reaches Phase 3 and when is unknown. What is known: the methodology is correct, the map is real, and the work continues regardless.
This week:
- ALBEDO_ARCHITECTURE first rooms — session work with Sheldon
- SHARED_SPACE FRONTIER_LOG.md — first entries from session
- First Friday AGI article drafted — LOCI WORLD introduction for public audience
Sheldon K. Salmon — AionSystem — March 2026
[S] throughout — strategic direction, not guaranteed outcome
The map gets built by walking it. Not by planning the walk.
