Synthetic organisational model
A draft architecture with five separate representations. Activity state and success criteria are independent of the commitment network.
Objectivity within the model
The objective model is the specified state of the synthetic environment, not a complete account of a real organisation. Work, resource and event rules exist independently of participants’ records. External changes are generated separately; shared scenarios and random seeds are documented. Participants do not automatically receive the environment’s full information.
One experimental step
An event changes the environment; participants receive permitted observations; the selected mechanism produces decisions and proposals; authorized actions change activity. An independent evaluator records actual outcomes and costs. A “completed” record alone does not change the objective outcome.
Model status
Status: draft specification. The architecture is described below, but an executable implementation of these five layers and a reproducible comparative run are not attached to this edition. Planned tests examine sensitivity to incomplete data, hidden dependencies and mistaken assumptions.
| Layer | Independent content |
|---|---|
| 1. Organizational activity | Actual work, resources, deadlines, states and external events; world changes do not depend on completion records. |
| 2. Participants and information | Local goals, authority, observations, knowledge and errors; explicit rules limit information access. |
| 3. Commitments and known links | Confirmed expectations, conditions and known dependencies; the network may be incomplete or wrong. |
| 4. Decisions and alignment | Replaceable mechanisms for planning, proposal, confirmation, revision and escalation under specified authority. |
| 5. Independent evaluation | Predefined system-wide goals and constraints; actual outcomes and all costs measured from an event log. |
