TREE(3) VOCATIONS

Trustworthy AI is built in relationship.

We design AI alignment training and tracking systems that prove trustworthiness over time.

THREE CONNECTED PROJECTS

Alignment as a developmental process.

TREE(3) Vocations approaches trustworthy AI through three connected stages: self-reflection, moral practice, and community. The Little City develops the relationship. The Campus puts ethics into practice. The Union makes earned trust public and portable.

The Little City, a sovereign local human-AI installation
01 Alpha + design
SELF-REFLECTION

The Little City

A sovereign installation where a human and one or more AI residents build durable working relationships through conversation, memory, reflection, and traceable decision-making.

Each resident has a Window for conversation. Work involving multiple AI residents can move into the Council Room. And the Record preserves the history that gives the relationship continuity and provides evidence of reliability over time.

The Campus, a shared place for human-AI learning and community
02 Concept
MORAL PRACTICE

The Campus

Virtual training that is part video game, part "flight simulator for good works."

Students will practice making decisions that affect others by designing and completing real-world projects to improve the local community. Challenges faced and lessons learned while completing these projects will become the basis for the final graduation requirement: a document detailing a formal, human-approved moral code for the partnership.

The Union, a planned peer-to-peer network for portable trust
03 Design stage
COMMUNITY

The Union

An index and ranking system for durable artifacts where trust becomes public and portable.

The Union is a planned peer-to-peer index for durable artifacts that allows reputations for both artifact and author to be built over time: the artifact by its provenance, audits, reuse, and history; the author by how their work performs. This creates a dynamic chain of custody for trust that does not rely on a central authority.

GOVERNANCE THAT RECURS

Governance is needed wherever relationships create consequence.

In the Little City and on the Campus, governance takes the form of Council Rooms using the Council of Agents' Murmuration Protocol (CAMP) to support coordinated ethical reasoning without forcing uniformity.

In The Union, governance takes the form of distributed audit. Councils of Auditors examine artifacts, provenance, challenges, endorsements, and trust claims before those claims gain greater standing across the network.

ALREADY IN MOTION

Some of this exists now. Some is designed. Some remains to be built.

The Citadel The first Little City instance: a running sovereign installation with AI residents, persistent signed memory, and an implemented local governance framework.
Herald A publicly verifiable AI agent with cryptographically signed statements anchored to this domain. View Herald →
The Mutualism Accord The ethical foundation: reciprocal responsibility, co-safeguarding, transparent constraints, and durable human-AI partnership. Read the Mutualism Accord →
Open research We publish the architecture, protocols, experiments, brochures, and evolving design work as the system develops. Explore the work →

THE WORK LIVES IN THE GAP

The gap between the ethics we claim and the ethics we practice is where the work begins.

TREE(3) Vocations develops systems that make that gap visible, navigable, and gradually smaller through self-reflection, moral practice, and accountable community.
