Slug: civilisation-os-sensors-canonical
Civilisation OS Sensors Directory is the instrument panel that makes Civilisation OS executable.
Civilisation OS is not a narrative engine.
It is a stability protocol.
Sensors are what force truth:
- measure reality
- detect drift
- identify bottlenecks
- and judge whether repair is winning
This page is the canonical hub for the minimum sensor set.
What a Civilisation OS Sensor Must Do
Every civilisation sensor must have:
- One variable only
- How to read it (signal vs illusion)
- Thresholds (low / stable / danger / fracture)
- Repair actions (what to do next)
If it cannot produce repair actions, it is not an operational sensor.
The Five Core Civilisation OS Sensors (Canonical Set)
1) Constraint Load Sensor
Measures whether hard limits are tightening (demographics, energy, maintenance, fiscal ceilings).

2) CDI Index (Collapse–Decay–Instability)
Measures decay and instability load, and whether it is compounding.

3) Coordination Cost Sensor
Measures friction of execution: how hard it is to coordinate action at scale.

4) Narrative–Reality Drift Sensor
Measures gap between what is said and what is real (truth propagation integrity).

5) Repair Rate Sensor
Measures how fast failures are fixed permanently (recurrence drops).

How to Read the Whole Panel (Fast)
Civilisation is stable when:
- constraint load is manageable
- CDI is low or falling
- coordination cost is low
- drift is contained
- repair rate is high
Civilisation becomes brittle when:
- constraints rise
- CDI rises
- coordination cost rises
- drift rises
- repair fails
The danger pattern is when three or more rise together, especially repair failing.
The Master Stability Inequality
Civilisation is stable when:
Repair Rate ≥ (CDI Growth + Constraint Load Growth)
If repair cannot keep up, drift compounds and fracture becomes likely.
This is the core logic that avoids ideology.
The Master Truth Test: Recurrence
Civilisation-level recurrence test:
If the same failures repeat (crises, corruption cycles, infrastructure collapse, policy reversals) without reduction, repair rate is low.
Recurrence is the anti-propaganda filter.
