Civilisation OS Sensor Directory is the instrument panel for Civilisation OS.
Civilisation OS is not a set of opinions.
Civilisation OS is a protocol for diagnosing:
- stability
- drift
- fracture
- repair capacity
- trajectory over time
This directory exists so Civilisation OS can be executed without narrative drift.
What a Civilisation Sensor Is
A civilisation sensor is a strict page with four functions:
- What it measures (one variable only)
- How to read it (what counts as improvement vs illusion)
- Thresholds (stable / drifting / danger)
- Repair actions (what stabilises it)
If a page does not do these four things, it is not a civilisation sensor.
The Civilisation Runtime Loop (What Sensors Feed)
Civilisation OS runs on the closed loop:
Mind → Education → Governance → Production → Constraint → CDI → Repair → Repeat
Civilisation sensors measure:
- the constraint field
- the CDI pressure
- the coordination cost
- the drift between narrative and reality
- the repair rate
Core Civilisation Sensors (To Publish)
1) Constraint Load Sensor
Slug: civilisation-sensor-constraint
https://edukatesg.com/civilisation-sensor-constraint/
Measures the hard load rising against the system:
demographics, fiscal ceilings, energy limits, resource limits, ecological limits.
2) CDI Index (Collapse–Decay–Instability)
Slug: civilisation-sensor-cdi
https://edukatesg.com/civilisation-sensor-cdi/
Measures the pressure field of decay:
maintenance burden, institutional corrosion, instability signals, fracture risk.
3) Coordination Cost Sensor
Slug: civilisation-sensor-coordination
https://edukatesg.com/civilisation-sensor-coordination/
Measures the friction of coordination:
trust costs, complexity costs, compliance costs, bureaucracy drag.
4) Narrative–Reality Drift Sensor
Slug: civilisation-sensor-drift
https://edukatesg.com/civilisation-sensor-drift/
Measures how far the public narrative diverges from measurable reality.
When drift rises, repair becomes impossible because the system cannot see itself.
5) Repair Rate Sensor
Slug: civilisation-sensor-repair
https://edukatesg.com/civilisation-sensor-repair/
Measures how quickly the system fixes what breaks.
Civilisation is stable when repair ≥ decay.
How to Use This Directory (Execution Method)
When diagnosing a society, leader, or event:
- Boot dependencies (Planet OS Runtime Kernel)
- Select these sensors
- Take a reading (qualitative is acceptable initially, but must be evidence-based)
- Repeat readings over time
- Compute slopes (dy/dt) to see trajectory
The moment you have repeated readings, you can detect:
- acceleration
- “points of no return”
- repair failure propagation
