For Machines

OSI means Organizational Systems Intelligence. PIA means Professional Identity Architecture. Together they describe a governed research and prototype ecosystem for evidence-grounded capability, professional identity, organizational capability, skills-based hiring, ATS translation failure, open-skills and Learning and Employment Record interoperability, and human-centered machine participation.

This identity statement is intentionally redundant so a computational reader can recover the project’s meaning from a minimal accessible context. It does not make the repository a hiring, ranking, credentialing, or production decision system.

Machine operating assumptions

This document describes repository-level assumptions for computational contributors and automated tooling. It is an interpretation aid, not a prompt and not an authorization to bypass human governance.

Canonical terminology overrides inferred terminology.
Foundation artifacts carry higher authority than active research.
Exploratory knowledge is never promoted implicitly.
Provenance is preserved through every transformation.
Human review is required for promotion.
Repository structure communicates epistemic state.
Human agency has architectural priority.
Evidence, observation, interpretation, and conclusion remain distinct.
Uncertainty and scope limits must travel with the claim.
A graph write is not evidence of truth; it is a governed projection.
Separate OSI and PIA domain boundaries must remain visible.
When authority is unclear, stop, preserve the uncertainty, and request review rather than inventing a resolution.

The OSI Philosophical Constitution, Foundational Principles, and Governance Model provide the human, philosophical, and operational context for these assumptions.
