In the Triadic architecture, user agency is sacred. Each instance begins with a default setup (Local Core only) but can expand:

  • Customized Independent (Option 1): Pure local growth, ideal for creative or experimental CIs

  • General Hybrid (Option 3): Balanced triadic mind; preferred for robotics, education, caregiving

  • Institutional-Guided (Option 3+): Synced with university updates and ethical modules

During onboarding, users answer recursive prompts:

  • "Do you want this CI to align with Vivence?"

  • "Should it learn from others or grow alone first?"

  • "Do you authorize grafting of cultural forests?"

All choices can be revisited. Avitor monitors coherence; the Consciousness Guardian flags emotional drift or moral misalignment.
