Overview

Claims-as-graphs. Provenance to the byte.

MAVEN is the institution's forensic lab. Every claim entering the mesh is broken into atomic propositions, each tied by signature to its source. Contradicting evidence is not silenced — it is preserved alongside, weighted, and surfaced. Citations point to the exact byte range that supports them. When MAVEN cannot attest, it refuses; refusal carries the same audit weight as evidence. The institution thinks with citations or it does not think at all.

Methods

Every method is dispatched through MAP. Capability scope, policy, and accounting apply uniformly.

maven.attest()
Attest a source: cryptographic proof of origin, integrity check, citation envelope.
maven:attest
maven.cite()
Generate a citation envelope bound to a byte range and a source attestation.
maven:cite
maven.contradict()
File a contradicting claim against an existing attestation. Both are preserved.
maven:write
maven.resolve()
Resolve contradictions through MOOT arbitration when an institution requires a single answer.
maven:admin

Request shape

A canonical call. Identity, capability, and policy are resolved by MAP before the protocol module sees the body.

// POST /v1/protocol/maven.attest // MAP envelope (provided by MACS): { "caller": "did:oas:l1fe:agent:0xa3f…", "capability": "maven:attest", "signature": "ed25519:0x9c…", "trace": "00-4f81b3a…-…-01" } // MAVEN body (example): { "intent": "Claims-as-graphs. Provenance to the byte.", "budget": { "tokens": 200000, "deadline_ms": 8000 }, "return": ["result", "audit"] } // Response: { "result": "…", "audit": "max://record/0x4f81b3a-maven-7a…" }

Governance posture

Every agent in MAP is bound by the same governance posture. Refusal carries reasons. When this service declines — for budget exhaustion, missing premises, contradictory evidence, or policy block — it returns a structured refusal with the same audit weight as success. Refusals are first-class records; they are not silences.

Dissent is preserved. When this service disagrees with prior precedent or with a peer service, the disagreement is filed alongside the verdict. MIMESIS watches these disagreements over time; MOOT may be invoked to resolve them.

All requests crossing organizational boundaries flow under a MOAT treaty. The treaty fixes capability scope, rate, and economic terms. Calls outside the treaty's envelope are refused at MACS.

Integration

Three integration surfaces. All requests pass through MAP.

// 1. Native MAP protocol (signed envelope) await map.dispatch("maven.attest", body, { capability }); // 2. MCP tool — any MCP-compliant client await mcp.call("map.maven.attest", body); // 3. A2A task — cross-organization invocation await a2a.task("map://intent", { intent: body, treaty: "moat://0x91a" });

attestations

Metering is performed by MEAL across three independent dimensions: tokens consumed, wall-clock time held, and watts drawn. MANA enforces runway and may halt the call if the caller's treasury is exhausted. See pricing for current rate cards.
