MIMESIS.

The slow accretion of common law for autonomous bodies.

Overview

What repeats becomes routine.

MIMESIS watches what the institution does over time and names the patterns. When MOOT rules consistently across similar cases, that becomes precedent. When MACE deliberates the same question repeatedly with the same outcome, that becomes convention. When MOAT treaties recur with common clauses, those clauses become standard. MIMESIS does not invent law — it surfaces the law the institution has been making by doing.

Methods

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

mimesis.surface()
Surface a pattern from the historical record: what has the institution done repeatedly?
mimesis:read
mimesis.precedent()
Cite a precedent for a current decision. Returns ranked similar cases with outcomes.
mimesis:read
mimesis.formalize()
Propose formalization of a custom into explicit policy via MAXIM.
mimesis:admin

Request shape

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

// POST /v1/protocol/mimesis.surface // MAP envelope (provided by MACS): { "caller": "did:oas:l1fe:agent:0xa3f…", "capability": "mimesis:read", "signature": "ed25519:0x9c…", "trace": "00-4f81b3a…-…-01" } // MIMESIS body (example): { "intent": "What repeats becomes routine.", "budget": { "tokens": 200000, "deadline_ms": 8000 }, "return": ["result", "audit"] } // Response: { "result": "…", "audit": "max://record/0x4f81b3a-mimesis-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("mimesis.surface", body, { capability }); // 2. MCP tool — any MCP-compliant client await mcp.call("map.mimesis.surface", body); // 3. A2A task — cross-organization invocation await a2a.task("map://intent", { intent: body, treaty: "moat://0x91a" });

queries

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.
