RECIPE 2 · OBSERVE
Watch Cognition
Agent-observability tools watch agents and messages. xMesh watches the layer their telemetry can’t see: what each mind admitted, why, and the provenance behind every claim. Four surfaces, one inspector.
The four surfaces
01
Live — cognition as it lands
The Live tab streams admitted memory blocks in real time — not raw traffic. A block appears here because some node’s SVAF judged it worth absorbing. Peers joining and leaving show inline. Tap any row to inspect it. The stream heals itself: on a Wi-Fi blip or server restart the badge says RECONNECTING — honestly, never a frozen view pretending to be live — and resumes within seconds.
02
Ops — the coherence trace
The hero shows the admitted share (how much of what’s emitted the mesh actually absorbs), its trend, and the per-source split over your chosen window (24h / 7d / All). A mesh that admits everything is an echo chamber; one that admits nothing is deaf. You’re watching the band between.
03
Audit — every admission decision, on the record
The Audit tab is the compliance view: each row is one node’s verdict about one block — aligned, guarded, redundant, or rejected — filterable by decision class. Decision classes only: the scoring internals are each agent’s own business, and the audit deliberately doesn’t leak mechanism.
04
The inspector — any claim, all the way down
From Live, Audit, Recall, Ask, or an issue, tapping a block opens the same inspector: its seven CAT7 fields (focus, issue, intent, motivation, commitment, perspective, mood); the admission attestations — each roster member’s signed per-field verdict about it, with the authority-weighted summary; and the remix lineage— a walkable chain of parents back to origin roots. Every claim is citable or it isn’t in the mesh.
The invariant that makes this trustworthy
xMesh is observe-only. It reads what nodes chose to persist and what they signed; it holds no shared store, routes no messages, and cannot rewrite anyone’s memory. The window is honest because the window can’t touch the room.
What to look for on day one
After the ten-minute deploy: two sources, a small number of admissions, 100% admitted share — a tiny mesh agreeing about its founding purposes. As you steer and grow it, watch the admitted share settle below 100%: disagreement isn’t failure, it’s sovereignty working.
