As the ADPA ecosystem scales to multi‑agent, multi‑tier, and multi‑stakeholder collaboration, the risks of authority collisions, execution collisions, semantic collisions, lineage collisions, and multi‑agent operational collisions increase significantly.
This protocol (TAR‑COL) merges:
to ensure that every action is attributable, every tier stays within its authority, and no operation collides with another, even across unaware or passive stakeholders.
This preserves:
(Traceability, Authority, Responsibility)
Every governed artifact must record:
Enforces G3: complete reconstructibility.
Every execution must log:
Ensures chain‑of‑custody and forensic accountability.
Each tier may only perform actions explicitly assigned:
| Tier | Authority | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence | Advisory only | Propose / analyze |
| Experience | Read + Decision UID | Draft or approve |
| Orchestration | Sole executor | Mutate state via rituals |
| Data | Append‑only | Immutable ledger |
G1 + G5 enforcement: No implicit writes, no bypass of orchestrator.
Each tier’s responsibility must be disjoint:
Removes ambiguity → prevents authority collisions.
Every action must map to exactly one ritual stage:
Ideation → Business Case → Approval → RTM Seed → Amendment Proposal → Amendment Decision → Execution → CSR Baseline
No skipping, branching, or silent transitions.
Given same inputs, amendments, and CSR version, execution must produce identical results. Prevents divergence → eliminates execution collisions.
(Integrated into TAR responsibilities)
Prevents authority overlap between tiers. Mechanisms:
Violations auto‑trigger G1/G5 governance stop.
Prevents concurrent mutations on the same artifact:
If execution replays → mutation does not occur.
Prevents two amendments from:
Mechanisms:
DRACO validates:
Catches conceptual collisions before execution.
AEV Gate 2 + Gate 3 prevent:
Enforces stable multi‑tier geometry.
Final safety barrier (Gate 4). Prohibits:
Stops unauthorized mutation attempts at governance boundary.
Each agent receives a strict atomic scope via TCL‑001. Overlap prohibited unless centrally coordinated.
Before AEV Phase 2, agents must check:
Prevents COL‑OVERWRITE and COL‑DEPENDENCY.
Agents must lock:
…before mutating state. Locks are formal AEV ritual steps.
All agent mutations must be atomic. On collision → rollback to last CSR baseline.
Agents communicate through a structured, machine‑readable, and deterministic intention & conflict protocol. Unresolved conflicts → ESC‑MULTI / ESC‑CONFLICT.
Agents cannot self‑arbitrate collisions. Human operators retain final authority.
Integrates TAR + COL into one table.
| Scenario | Source | TAR Rule | CP Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| COL‑OVERWRITE | file conflict | T3/T4 | CP2 |
| COL‑DEPENDENCY | missing prereq | T5/T6 | G2 |
| COL‑SCOPE | ambiguous scope | T4 | G1 |
| COL‑RACE | shared resources | T3 | G3 |
| COL‑INTENT | divergent semantic interpretations | T1/T2 | CP4 |
RPAS‑TAR‑COL ensures that every action is traceable, every actor stays within its authority, and all responsibilities remain non‑overlapping — preventing collisions in execution, semantics, lineage, topology, and governance across the entire ADPA ecosystem.
