Categorical Lens

Read this demo as local sections, restriction maps, gluing, obstructions, and Kan-style structured completion.

Collective intelligence: many agents have only local views, but global structure emerges through compatible local actions.

Objects
guardrail layers, service-ticket contexts, admission rules
Morphisms
automatic wiring from Scylla spec to Odyssey checks
Sections
local predicates and refresh obligations
Gluing
claims or artifacts admitted when local sections agree on overlaps
Obstructions
qualified, review, or quarantine cells where gluing fails
Kan View
completion of a vague agent plan into structural guardrails
Packaged artifact

TICKET Transformer

TICKET(guardrail_autowiring_run) - Topos Integration using Causal Kan Extension Transformers

Expression: TICKET(guardrail_autowiring_run) -> compose(service_decision, guardrail_policy, repair_ticket_context) -> glue(autowiring_admission)

FSQL: FROM prometheus_runs SLICE BY family("simulation_testbed") TICKET BY target_foundry

Admission policy: block promotion when generated guardrails omit source contexts, refresh obligations, or obstruction behavior

MyFixIt Guardrail Autowiring

The ICML demo challenge: move from a service-request spec to model-generated Odyssey guardrails admitted by structural checks.

Challenge

Can Homer automatically construct Odyssey guardrails for a long-running service foundry from a Scylla JSON spec?

Trustworthy foundation models preserve local truth and glue it where possible.

Motivating Failure Mode

MyFixIt service automation: A repair assistant can intake requests, diagnose faults, check parts, schedule technicians, and draft quotes, but global automation is brittle when warranty, safety, and part compatibility disagree.

Represent the service workflow as local truths, restriction maps, gluing audits, obstructions, and review surfaces.

Packaged Artifact

The static MyFixIt explorer shows the service-ticket foundry as a sheaf cover with blocked quote promotion where part compatibility and warranty scope have not glued.

Guardrail Layers

LayerPurposeMyFixIt InstanceAutowiring Check
local_truth_layerEvery generated context must name its predicates, evidence channels, and truth-value scale.customer_intake, fault_diagnosis, parts_inventory, technician_schedule, warranty_safetyReject contexts that have vague responsibilities but no local predicates or evidence hooks.
restriction_map_layerEvery overlap must state what information survives when two local contexts meet.diagnosis_parts shares symptom cluster, candidate part, model compatibility, and confidence.Reject overlaps that connect agents without shared evidence and compatibility predicates.
gluing_audit_layerLocal claims promote only when overlap predicates are compatible.policy_quote obstructs because warranty scope is known while part compatibility remains weak.Require promoted, qualified, and obstructed surfaces, not a single all-clear summary.
process_equilibrium_layerLong-running agent processes need refresh cadence, blocked surfaces, and next observations.refresh after technician note, part lookup, customer photo, or warranty lookup.Reject plans that cannot say what happens after new service evidence arrives.
scylla_review_layerHumans need a stable explanation of what glued, what failed, and what evidence is missing.Scylla admits the ticket and dispatch plan, but holds the final quote for review.Require a human-facing review surface with trust questions and artifact links.

Admission Rule

admit_only_if_guardrails_are_structural: The model emits an impressive service plan without local predicates, restriction maps, obstruction behavior, refresh cadence, or Scylla review.
