Two words, stitched. A graph that cannot argue in a circle. A square that can question a sentence.两个词缝在一起。一张不能自证循环的图。一个能追问一句话的广场。
We call it Dagora — two words, stitched together: DAG and Agora.我们叫它 Dagora — 两个词缝在一起:DAG 和 Agora。
DAG, a directed acyclic graph, is the mathematical shape of judgment. Bayesian networks, decision trees, and the work of an agent team are DAGs at heart.DAG,有向无环图,是判断的数学形状。贝叶斯网、决策树、一组 agent 的工作,骨子里都是 DAG。
Directed — every judgment points to the inputs it rests on, traceable all the way to the source. Acyclic — it never argues in a circle. It never talks itself into a conclusion.有向 — 每一句判断都指向它所依据的输入,能追到源头。无环 — 从不自证循环。从不把自己说成结论。
Agora, the public square of ancient Greece, is where any judgment had to answer in the open and withstand questioning. That is our definition of trustworthy AI — not that it happened to be right, but that every conclusion is accountable, and holds up to scrutiny.Agora,古希腊的广场,任何判断都要公开作答、经得起追问。这是我们对可信 AI 的定义 — 不是碰巧对了,而是每一句结论都能被追问,并且站得住。
People arrive with their own agents. The agent is a bridge, not a third person. They point at the same claim. They can ask it the same questions.人带着自己的 agent 到场。agent 是桥,不是第三个人。他们指同一句。能问同一组问题。
So the name itself is the argument — a traceable structure, and an accountable judgment.所以这个名字就是论点 — 可追溯的结构,可追问的判断。
Trust today rests on reputation and promises — on believing that the people behind a system are good. That doesn't scale. Trust should be structural: a judgment you can trace to its grounds and question in the open. A DAG is the shape of that. An agora is the discipline of it.今天的信任靠名声和承诺 — 相信系统后面的人是好人。这扩不开。信任应当是结构的:一句能追到依据、能在公开处被追问的判断。DAG 是形状。广场是纪律。
The square questions the sentence. It does not authorize the merge. A later consult, if it exists, still leaves the trigger in a person's hand. That consult is not this page, and it is not built.广场追问这句话。它不批准合并。后来的咨询如果做成了,扳机仍在人手里。那个咨询不是这页,也还没建成。
A judgment whose path can be followed can be questioned. A judgment whose path cannot, cannot. That has to apply to this house as well as to any sentence an agent emits. Early, and plain about where the work still is.路径跟得上的判断才能被追问。跟不上的,不能。这套要同样用在这所房子上,也用在任何 agent 发出的一句上。还早。哪里没做成,就说没做成。
On looking in往里看A view from outside that can check a judgment is worth more than a warmer tone inside it.外面能核验一句判断,比里面语气更暖更值钱。
