Primitives of Zo Corp

Intelligence needs determinism if it is going to build and run a company.

We know AI can run commands. What if commands could run AI?

The primitives

Zo is the AI executive. It reasons, delegates work, and reports back.

Corp is the executable charter and command engine. Each company has its own; it defines who may do what and turns accepted results into state changes.

The repository holds the company's entities, current state, and complete history.

A commit is the durable record of a command and the validated change it produced.

An example

corp init

Corp checks the company's charter and starts Zo with a bounded task. In a larger run, Zo could spawn research agents to understand the company and a specialist agent to analyse its competitors.

The agents return their findings. Corp checks that the command was permitted and records the resulting state change. Zo remains the author and committer because Zo did the work.

commit 81bc2a
author: zo
committer: zo
Corp-Command: corp init
Corp-Charter: acme@1
result: company researched and initial state created

The takeaway

AI can remain creative and nondeterministic while the company remains governed, inspectable, and deterministic.
