JAKOVA-NET: Martian City C137 – A Guardrailed Cyberpunk Colony Stack for Synths, Humans, and AI BIOS

Summary.JAKOVA-NET: Martian City C137 extends the JAKOVA-NET local-first AI operating system pattern to a full martian colony stack. Instead of treating AI as a remote cloud service, the city runs on a single canonical JSON state file plus BIOS-grade language models that boot, inspect, and propose changes to that state. Engines (simulation, robotics, governance tools) act as lenses over the JSON, never as the source of truth. Cyberpunk colony stack.The paper sketches a near-future, cyberpunk-era martian city where humans, synths, and AI systems coexist under explicit guardrails. Black markets, competing factions, and adversarial behaviour are assumed, not ignored. Guardrails and “alignment” schemes are modelled as versioned ideology objects with clear ownership and attribution, so every safety regime can be traced back to its human authors instead of disappearing into anonymous black-box policy. Synths, guardrails, and ownership.Synth bodies (industrial and humanoid) are first-class agents on the same JSON as human citizens, with shared governance, task logs, and protection regimes. The stack is designed to run end-to-end on local hardware (up to and including a 2019 gaming laptop), making the colony resilient to network loss and corporate capture. All schemas, guardrail patterns, and city-state designs remain owned by the originating JAKOVA-NET authors, and downstream forks are expected to preserve full attribution.
