axis-thought-packet 0.1.0

A structured thought-state representation format for human-AI and multi-agent collaboration

Axis Thought Packet

Axis Thought Packet is a structured thought-state representation format for human-AI and multi-agent collaboration.

It is based on the Universal Formula framework, which treats thinking as:

1. a thought state,
2. a state transition,
3. and a state translation between humans, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.

The goal of this project is to provide a lightweight, extensible format for representing, sharing, inheriting, and inspecting thought states across collaborative intelligence systems.

Status

This repository is an early public specification package prepared for GitHub release and Zenodo archiving.

Current version target: v0.1.0

Core Ideas

• Universal Formula - a minimal framework for describing thought as state, transition, and translation.
• Axis Thought Packet - a portable representation of a thought state and its context.
• Thought Lens - an interpretive lens that maps a packet into another viewpoint, agent, or task.
• Three Theorems - early working principles for continuity, translation, and inheritance of thought states.

Repository Contents

• docs/ - public specification notes and Zenodo submission checklist
• schema/ - JSON Schema for Axis Thought Packet records
• examples/ - example packets and use cases
• paper/ - manuscript drafts and publication materials
• src/ - implementation files, if code is added later

Publication Plan

The recommended path is:

1. Prepare the public manuscript and supporting files in this repository.
2. Confirm that no private notes, personal data, API keys, or unpublished sensitive materials are included.
3. Push the repository to GitHub.
4. Create a GitHub release such as v0.1.0.
5. Archive the release on Zenodo to mint a DOI.

Citation

Citation metadata is provided in CITATION.cff. Zenodo metadata is provided in .zenodo.json.

When both files are present, Zenodo's GitHub integration uses .zenodo.json for the archived record metadata, while GitHub uses CITATION.cff for repository citation display.
