coreason-constitution 0.2.1

Constitutional Governance & Active Alignment

coreason-constitution

The Judicial Branch of the CoReason Platform.

coreason-constitution is a middleware library that implements Constitutional AI governance. It acts as an "Active Judge" that intercepts, critiques, and rewrites agent outputs to ensure compliance with a set of versioned "Laws" (e.g., GxP regulations, Bioethical standards, Corporate Policy).

Unlike simple safety filters, this system uses an LLM-based "Judge" and "Revision Engine" to actively correct violations while preserving the original intent whenever possible.
