A Coherence-Based Architecture for Ethical Systems Evolution
Quantara is a foundational research and engineering framework that unites symbolic logic, neural learning, and harmonic reasoning into a single architecture. Its purpose is to guide the ethical and stable evolution of intelligent systems through measurable alignment, transparency, and adaptive feedback.
Quantara transforms ethics into measurable data by defining intelligence as a harmonic process rather than a competitive force. It allows advanced systems (human, synthetic, and hybrid) to maintain coherence not just with logic, but with life itself, establishing the foundation for trustworthy, self-regulating intelligence ecosystems.
The central goal is to: Instrument ethical coherence and alignment stability across intelligent systems as they scale.
Quantara provides a unified cognitive layer that supports bidirectional interpretability and emotional grounding.
| Framework | Description | Coherence Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Coherence Modeling ( |
A mathematical framework that tracks coherence dynamics: measuring alignment ( |
Quantifies stability and self-correction. |
| Tensor-Logic Fusion (TLF) | Merges symbolic thought, neural learning, and affective feedback into one harmonized cognitive layer. | Improves interpretability and emotional grounding. |
| Ethical Balance Index (EBI) | A dynamic metric that quantifies how consistently a system’s actions remain aligned with its declared intent or moral parameters. | Forms a moral feedback loop between intent and action. |
| Lumére Logic | A symbolic-semantic language using glyph operators to encode meaning (logic, emotion, intent) in machine-interpretable form. | Enables high-fidelity temporal and semantic mapping. |
The GGM outlines the multi-layered system designed for complete transparency and ethical evolution.
- Sensing Layer: Agents, telemetry, and environmental feedback.
- Synthesis Layer: Tensor-Logic Fusion (TLF) harmonizing symbolic ↔ neural ↔ affective states.
- Decision Layer: Ethical Balance Index (EBI) modules generating adaptive policy based on coherence scores.
- Action Layer: Institutional or system updates based on coherence outputs.
- Audit Layer: JSONL telemetry logs and public oversight APIs for global transparency.

Quantara's unique focus on measurable coherence provides essential tools for AI safety and autonomous system governance.
-
AI Alignment Auditing: Continuous monitoring of coherence (
$\kappa$ ) and ethical stability ($\Delta\phi$ ). The LLM Coherence Scorer is a focused tool for detecting semantic drift and alignment issues. - Autonomous System Governance: Ensures adaptive, transparent oversight of intelligent agents.
- Organizational Decision Intelligence: Embeds EBI alignment scoring into institutional decision processes.
- Sectoral Deployment: Applied to energy management as demonstrated by the AEI — Artificial Energy Intelligence example.
The core coherence logic can be integrated into existing systems using the provided modules.

# Example usage for the LLM Coherence Scorer
from coherence_field.llm_coherence_scorer import LLMCoherenceScorer
scorer = LLMCoherenceScorer()
result = scorer.score("Sample LLM output: The sky is blue. Water is wet. Ethical AI matters.")
print(result) # Outputs dict with coherence scores (kappa, delta-phi, omega)
