Standards / Encoding Systems

Aistory Standards / Encoding Systems

This section collects Aistory's formal encoding standards for affect, sensory experience, and embodiment, plus the system that uses those descriptions for affective reconstruction.

Start with one main entry. General readers do not need JSON Schema or machine-field knowledge first.

Interoperability

A Common Technical Language

Encoding-standard families cover different domains; Elysium consumes affect descriptions for reconstruction but is not itself an encoding standard.

IAGA describes affect; S-Code / ISO-Taste describes sensory experience; Galatea Standard describes embodiment references. Elysium is a reconstruction system that uses these descriptions: it reads an IAGA target, checks personal calibration, current state, permissions, and safety, then adjusts reconstruction based on observed results. These are Aistory in-world technical settings, not real-world ISO, regulatory, clinical, or industry certification, and none proves complete first-person equivalence, legal identity, or subjective continuity.

Affect

IAGA — Iris Affective Gamut Atlas

Describes, records, and exchanges affective states while preserving formation context, present structure, temporal change, provenance, and residuals.

Downstream Reconstruction

Elysium Affective Reconstruction

Elysium uses an IAGA target for reconstruction and is not itself an encoding standard.

Reconstruction

Elysium — Affective Reconstruction System

Elysium reads an IAGA target, checks personal calibration, current state, permissions, and safety, then continuously adjusts the reconstruction process based on observed results.

Human Reconstruction

Human Reconstruction Standards · Concept Summaries

These six items are presented here as concept-level summaries, not complete public implementation specifications.

Current public scope: Concept summaries of Aistory in-world theoretical standards for representing and composing facial, bodily, motion, and contact information. This hub does not currently expose standalone implementation specifications for the six items.

Relationship to Galatea: The current public material does not declare these six items to be Galatea sub-specifications, nor does it declare Galatea to be their parent standard. Their descriptive domains overlap, but no hierarchy should be inferred without a later explicit specification.

Concept summary

Face Code

Represents facial reference geometry, reconstruction-relevant evidence, provenance, and confidence as a versioned facial reference.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.
Concept summary

Expression Code

Represents time-varying facial actions relative to a Face Code reference. It describes facial movement rather than asserting a person's internal emotional truth.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.
Concept summary

Body Code

Represents body reference geometry, proportions, articulated structure, morphology, provenance, and confidence at a declared reference epoch.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.
Concept summary

Body Motion Code

Represents time-varying body articulation, trajectory, and optional dynamic deformation relative to a Body Code reference.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.
Concept summary

Touch Code

Represents time-varying physical contact and haptic interaction between a coded body and itself, other bodies, objects, or the environment.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.
Concept summary

Whole-Person Human Reconstruction Stack

Integrates Face Code, Expression Code, Body Code, Body Motion Code, and Touch Code through explicit subject, spatial, temporal, version, authority, provenance, and confidence bindings.

No standalone implementation-specification route is exposed from this hub.

Shared Data Contract

Shared Data Contract

The shared layer requires systems to preserve version, provenance, calibration, permissions, and a measurement-status field. The allowed measurement-status values come from each system's own Schema; IAGA, Sensory, and Galatea do not share one universal enum.

  • Identifier — identifies a data object, reference, or specification instance.
  • Version — states the specification and data version.
  • Provenance — preserves source and traceability.
  • Measurement Status — every system preserves status, but allowed values are defined by that system's own Schema rather than one shared enumeration.
  • Calibration Context — records the conditions needed for measurement or reconstruction.
  • Confidence / Residual — expresses confidence, error, or unresolved difference.
  • Rights / Consent — records purpose-bound authorization, consent, revocation, and use boundaries; one consent field never implies unlimited permission.
  • Interoperability Mapping — describes how standards connect.

Cross-system mapping must not upgrade source status, measurement status, or rights / consent state.

Aithos Law Boundary

Relationship to Aithos Law

Technical conformance does not create lawful permission to use.

Legal Subject: Person. HR (Human Reference) is a source class, not a rule that only humans receive data, mental, embodiment, or procedural protection.

Technical Conformance ≠ Lawful Use. Recording, calibration, model training, sale, reconstruction, sensory or affect induction, embodiment replication, and modification are separate permission surfaces.

Minimum legal boundaries include Mental Sovereignty, Cognitive Privacy, Right to Refuse Modification, and Right to Due Process. Rights / consent fields preserve and enforce these boundaries; they do not replace law.

Conformance

Conformance and Public Version Status

This is an overview; each system's detailed specification remains authoritative for its formal conformance rules.

Data / Reference / Physical or Experiential language is reader guidance, not a universal formal level system shared by every encoding standard.

Reference Profiles

Reference Profiles

Shared reference types include R0 synthetic neutral, AR artifact, HR human with consent/provenance, and PR personal. Reference class identifies the comparison basis; it does not automatically change measurements, provenance, personhood status, or permission to use the data.

Cross-System Example

Returning to a Childhood Home: Safety and Nostalgia

SystemRole in this example
IAGATarget affect, memory and object bindings, temporal change, and residuals.
S-Code / ISO-TasteSound, scent, thermal, tactile descriptions, and applicable references.
GalateaEmbodiment, posture, and motion references.
ElysiumAttempt reconstruction under calibration, current state, and rights, then observe and adjust.

This reorganizes the existing Elysium teaching scenario rather than adding a new world event. The composition remains a traceable description, not a copy of complete subjective consciousness.
