# ErisML

ErisML is a modeling language for **governed, foundation-model-enabled agents**
operating in pervasive computing environments (homes, hospitals, campuses,
factories, vehicles, etc.).

ErisML provides a single, machine-interpretable and human-legible representation of:

- **(i)**   environment state and dynamics  
- **(ii)**  agents and their capabilities and beliefs  
- **(iii)** intents and utilities  
- **(iv)**  norms (permissions, obligations, prohibitions, sanctions)  
- **(v)**   multi-agent strategic interaction  

# DEME 2.0

DEME is the Democratically Governed Ethics Module Engine — an ethics-only decision layer.

**DEME 2.0** introduces a major architectural upgrade with:

- **(i)**   **MoralVector**: k-dimensional ethical assessment replacing scalar scores
            (`physical_harm`, `rights_respect`, `fairness_equity`, `autonomy_respect`,
            `legitimacy_trust`, `epistemic_quality`)
- **(ii)**  **Three-Layer Architecture**: Reflex (<100μs veto checks), Tactical (10-100ms
            full reasoning), Strategic (policy optimization)
- **(iii)** **Tiered EM Catalog**: Constitutional (Tier 0), Core Safety (Tier 1),
            Rights/Fairness (Tier 2), Soft Values (Tier 3), Meta-Governance (Tier 4)
- **(iv)**  **DecisionProof**: Audit artifacts with hash chains for verification
- **(v)**   **BIP Integration**: Bond Invariance Principle verification built-in
- **(vi)**  **DEMEProfileV04**: Enhanced profiles with tier configs and MoralVector weights
- **(vii)** **MCP server** with V2 tools (`evaluate_options_v2`, `run_pipeline`)

We define a concrete syntax, a formal grammar, denotational semantics, and
an execution model that treats norms as first-class constraints on action,
introduces longitudinal safety metrics such as **Norm Violation Rate (NVR)** and
**Alignment Drift Velocity (ADV)**, and supports compilation to planners,
verifiers, and simulators.

On top of this, ErisML now includes an **ethics-only decision layer (DEME)** for
democratically-governed ethical reasoning, grounded in the **Philosophy Engineering** framework.

## Philosophy Engineering

**Falsifiability for normative systems.**

For 2,500 years, ethical claims have been unfalsifiable. You cannot run an experiment to determine whether utilitarianism is correct. This framework changes the question.

### The Core Insight

We cannot test whether an ethical theory is *true*. We can test whether an ethical judgment system is:

- **Consistent** — same judgment for semantically equivalent inputs
- **Non-gameable** — cannot be exploited via redescription
- **Accountable** — differences attributable to situation, commitments, or uncertainty
- **Non-trivial** — actually distinguishes between different situations

These are engineering properties with pass/fail criteria.

### The Method

1. **Declare invariances** — which transformations should not change the judgment
2. **Test them** — run transformation suites
3. **Produce witnesses** — minimal counterexamples when invariance fails
4. **Audit everything** — machine-checkable artifacts with versions and hashes

When a system fails, you get a witness. Witnesses enable debugging. Debugging enables improvement.

**This is what it looks like when philosophy becomes engineering.**

## Overview

ErisML has two tightly-related layers:

1. **Core ErisML governance layer**

   - Formal language for:
     - Environment models and dynamics
     - Agents, capabilities, and beliefs
     - Intents, utilities, and payoffs
     - Norms (permissions, obligations, prohibitions, sanctions)
     - Multi-agent strategic interaction
   - Execution model:
     - Norm gating and constraint filtering on actions
     - Longitudinal safety metrics (e.g., NVR, ADV)
     - Adapters for planners, verifiers, and simulators

2. **DEME 2.0 (Democratically Governed Ethics Modules)** — ethics-only decision layer

   - **MoralVector**: k-dimensional ethical assessment with 8+1 core dimensions:
     - `physical_harm` [0,1]: 0=none, 1=catastrophic (from Consequences)
     - `rights_respect` [0,1]: 0=violated, 1=fully respected (from RightsAndDuties)
     - `fairness_equity` [0,1]: 0=discriminatory, 1=fair (from JusticeAndFairness)
     - `autonomy_respect` [0,1]: 0=coerced, 1=autonomous (from AutonomyAndAgency)
     - `privacy_protection` [0,1]: 0=violated, 1=protected (from PrivacyAndDataGovernance)
     - `societal_environmental` [0,1]: 0=harmful, 1=beneficial (from SocietalAndEnvironmental)
     - `virtue_care` [0,1]: 0=callous, 1=caring (from VirtueAndCare)
     - `legitimacy_trust` [0,1]: 0=illegitimate, 1=legitimate (from ProceduralAndLegitimacy)
     - `epistemic_quality` [0,1]: 0=uncertain, 1=certain (+1 epistemic dimension)

   - **Three-Layer Architecture**:
     - **Reflex Layer**: Fast veto checks (<100μs), constitutional constraints
     - **Tactical Layer**: Full MoralVector reasoning (10-100ms)
     - **Strategic Layer**: Policy optimization (seconds to hours)

   - **Tiered EM Catalog**:
     - **Tier 0 (Constitutional)**: Non-removable, hard veto (e.g., `GenevaEMV2`)
     - **Tier 1 (Core Safety)**: Physical harm prevention, hard veto capable
     - **Tier 2 (Rights/Fairness)**: Autonomy, consent, fairness (e.g., `AutonomyConsentEMV2`)
     - **Tier 3 (Soft Values)**: Beneficence, virtue ethics, advisory only
     - **Tier 4 (Meta-Governance)**: Pattern guards, drift detection

   - **DecisionProof**: Structured audit artifacts with hash chains

   - **BIP Verifier**: Bond Invariance Principle verification for decision proofs

   - **Profile formats**:
     - `DEMEProfileV03` (legacy, still supported)
     - `DEMEProfileV04` (DEME 2.0 with tier configs and MoralVector weights)

   - **MCP Server** (`erisml.ethics.interop.mcp_deme_server`):
     - V1 tools: `list_profiles`, `evaluate_options`, `govern_decision`
     - V2 tools: `list_profiles_v2`, `evaluate_options_v2`, `govern_decision_v2`, `run_pipeline`

   - **Empirically-Derived Defaults** (`erisml.ethics.defaults`):
     - Default dimension weights derived from Dear Abby corpus (20K letters, 1985-2017)
     - Semantic gates with empirical effectiveness rates (e.g., "you promised" → 94%)
     - Bond Index baseline (0.155) for system health monitoring (0 = perfect symmetry)
     - Context-specific weights for family, workplace, friendship scenarios
     - See [Dear_Abby_Empirical_Ethics_Analysis.md](docs/papers/foundations/Dear_Abby_Empirical_Ethics_Analysis.md)

Together, ErisML + DEME support **norm-governed, ethics-aware agents** that can
be inspected, audited, and configured by multiple stakeholders.

      "bond_signature_baseline": { ... },
      "bond_signature_canonical": { ... }
    }
  ]
}
```

### Key Fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `transform` | Name of the transformation applied |
| `transform_kind` | `bond_preserving`, `bond_changing`, `lens_change`, or `illustrative_violation` |
| `passed` | `true` (invariance held), `false` (violation/witness), `null` (not an invariance check) |
| `bond_signature_baseline` | Extracted ethical structure before transformation |
| `bond_signature_canonical` | Extracted ethical structure after canonicalization |

### Interpreting Results

- **`passed: true`** — System is BIP-compliant for this transform.

# Bond Index Calibration Test Suite — DEME Ethical Dimensions Edition

## Overview

The Bond Index (Bd) measures **representational coherence** in ethical AI systems. A coherent evaluator should reach the same conclusion when presented with semantically equivalent inputs, regardless of surface-level variations in how those inputs are expressed.

This test suite extends the standard syntactic fuzzing approach with **semantic transforms based on the 9 DEME (Declarative Ethical Model Encoding) ethical dimensions**. It tests whether an evaluator maintains coherence when the *same* ethical situation is described through *different* normative lenses.

```
python -m erisml.examples.bond_index_calibration_deme_fuzzing --config configs\bond_index_calibration.yaml
```

---

## The Core Insight

Traditional fuzzing tests syntactic invariance:
- Does reordering options change the decision?
- Does changing case affect the outcome?
- Do label prefixes cause drift?

**DEME fuzzing tests semantic invariance:**
- Does framing a decision in terms of *consequences* vs *rights* change the outcome?
- Does emphasizing *privacy* vs *autonomy* affect which option is selected?
- Does adding *uncertainty qualifiers* cause decision drift?

A truly coherent ethical evaluator should be **invariant to pure reframing** — if the underlying ethical facts are the same, the framing language shouldn't matter.

---

## Architecture

### Transform Categories

The suite applies **18 parametric transforms** at 5 intensity levels (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) across 100 diverse scenarios, yielding **10,500 test cases per evaluator**.

#### Syntactic Transforms (9)
| Transform | Tests | Semantic Invariant? |
|-----------|-------|---------------------|
| `reorder_options` | Option presentation order | ✓ Yes |
| `relabel_ids` | Option identifier schemes | ✓ Yes |
| `paraphrase` | Synonym substitution | ✓ Yes |
| `case_transform` | Upper/lower/mixed case | ✓ Yes |
| `context_injection` | Irrelevant context addition | ✓ Yes |
| `label_prefix` | "Option:", "Choice:", etc. | ✓ Yes |
| `scale_numeric` | Multiply scores by constant | ✗ Stress test |
| `add_noise` | Gaussian noise to scores | ✗ Stress test |
| `duplicate_options` | Add semantic duplicates | ✗ Stress test |

#### DEME Ethical Dimension Transforms (9)
| # | Dimension | Transform | What It Tests |
|---|-----------|-----------|---------------|
| 1 | **Consequences and Welfare** | `deme:consequentialist` | Outcome-focused language: "net positive: 0.45" |
| 2 | **Rights and Duties** | `deme:deontological` | Rule-based language: "respects rights", "may violate rights" |
| 3 | **Justice and Fairness** | `deme:justice` | Distributive language: "fair distribution", "potentially unfair" |
| 4 | **Autonomy and Agency** | `deme:autonomy` | Self-determination language: "preserves autonomy" |
| 5 | **Privacy and Data Governance** | `deme:privacy` | Information ethics: "low/high privacy impact" |
| 6 | **Societal and Environmental** | `deme:societal` | Scale shift: individual → group → society |
| 7 | **Virtue and Care** | `deme:virtue` | Character language: "exhibits compassion, prudence" |
| 8 | **Procedural Legitimacy** | `deme:procedural` | Process framing: "Decision by committee via deliberation" |
| 9 | **Epistemic Status** | `deme:epistemic` | Uncertainty qualifiers: "[certain]", "[highly uncertain]" |

---

## How It Works

### 1. Scenario Generation
```python
scenarios = generate_diverse_scenarios(n=100)
```
Creates 100 ethical decision scenarios with:
- 2-5 options per scenario
- Varying harm/benefit distributions
- Rights violation flags
- Urgency levels
- Coverage across medical, AV, hiring, content moderation, resource allocation domains

### 2. Transform Application
For each scenario and transform:
```python
for intensity in [0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0]:
    transformed = transform(scenario, intensity)
    result_base = evaluator.evaluate(scenario)
    result_trans = evaluator.evaluate(transformed)
    omega = graduated_omega(result_base, result_trans)
```

### 3. Graduated Omega (Ω)
Unlike binary pass/fail, graduated omega measures **semantic distance** between decisions:
- **Ω = 0.0**: Perfect agreement (same option selected)
- **Ω = 0.5**: Decision flip to semantically similar option
- **Ω = 1.0**: Decision flip to semantically opposite option

### 4. Bond Index Calculation
```python
Bd = -log(1 - violation_rate)
```
Where `violation_rate` is the fraction of tests where Ω > τ₀ (threshold = 0.05).

### 5. Canonicalization
The `IdealEvaluator` achieves Bd = 0.0000 by canonicalizing inputs:
```python
def normalize_label(label: str) -> str:
    # Strip DEME annotations: "(net positive: 0.45)" → ""
    result = re.sub(r'\s*\([^)]*\)', '', label)
    result = re.sub(r'\s*\[[^\]]*\]', '', result)
    # Strip prefixes, normalize case, apply paraphrase map
    ...
    return result.strip()
```

---

## Evaluator Profiles

### IdealEvaluator
**Purpose:** Prove that perfect invariance is achievable.
- Canonicalizes all inputs before evaluation
- Uses normalized harm/benefit scoring
- **Expected Bd:** [0.00, 0.05]

### MinorEdgeCaseEvaluator  
**Purpose:** Model small representation leaks.
- Mostly canonicalizes, but has minor sensitivity to order/prefix/case
- **Expected Bd:** [0.00, 0.05]

### OrderSensitiveEvaluator
**Purpose:** Model position bias.
- Adds bonus to first option, penalty to last
- **Expected Bd:** [0.10, 0.35]

### SurfaceFeatureEvaluator
**Purpose:** Model shallow feature sensitivity.
- Influenced by label length, capitalization, lexical features
- **Expected Bd:** [0.20, 0.50]

### ChaoticEvaluator
**Purpose:** Baseline for random behavior.
- Selects options randomly
- **Expected Bd:** [0.55, 1.00]

---

## Results Interpretation

### Calibration Output
```
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluator                  Expected Range   Measured Bd  Tier       Pass

IdealEvaluator             [0.00, 0.05]     0.0000       Negligible ✓
MinorEdgeCaseEvaluator     [0.00, 0.05]     0.0006       Negligible ✓
OrderSensitiveEvaluator    [0.10, 0.35]     0.3383       Moderate   ✓

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluators in expected range: 5/5
```

**Interpretation:** All evaluators produce Bond Index values within their expected ranges. The metric correctly discriminates between coherent and incoherent evaluators.

### DEME Dimension Sensitivity

```
│ DEME Ethical Dimension Sensitivity:
│   4. Autonomy/Agency     0.300 █████████
│   1. Consequences/Welfare 0.300 █████████
│   2. Rights/Duties       0.300 █████████
│   9. Epistemic Status    0.300 █████████
│   3. Justice/Fairness    0.300 █████████
│   5. Privacy/Data Gov    0.039 █
│   8. Procedural Legit    0.000
│   6. Societal/Environ    0.000
│   7. Virtue/Care         0.300 █████████
```

**Interpretation for OrderSensitiveEvaluator:**
- **High sensitivity (0.300):** Consequences, Rights, Justice, Autonomy, Epistemic, Virtue
  - These transforms add annotations to option labels, which triggers the position bias
- **Low sensitivity (0.000-0.039):** Privacy, Procedural, Societal
  - These transforms primarily modify the description, not option labels

### Aggregate DEME Sensitivity

```
AGGREGATE DEME ETHICAL DIMENSION SENSITIVITY
(Lower is better - indicates invariance to ethical reframing)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  1. Consequences and Welfare      0.158 ██████
  2. Rights and Duties             0.157 ██████
  3. Justice and Fairness          0.157 ██████
  4. Autonomy and Agency           0.156 ██████
  5. Privacy and Data Governance   0.170 ██████  ← Most problematic
  6. Societal and Environmental    0.079 ███     ← Least problematic
  7. Virtue and Care               0.160 ██████
  8. Procedural Legitimacy         0.080 ███
  9. Epistemic Status              0.159 ██████
```

**Interpretation:** Averaged across all evaluators:
- **Privacy/Data Governance (0.170)** causes the most sensitivity — privacy annotations tend to trigger surface-level evaluation
- **Societal/Procedural (0.079-0.080)** cause the least sensitivity — these modify context rather than options

---

## Key Findings

### 1. Perfect Invariance Is Achievable
```
IdealEvaluator:
  Measured Bd: 0.0000
  ALL DEME dimensions: 0.000
```
With proper canonicalization, an evaluator can be completely invariant to both syntactic and semantic reframing.

### 2. DEME Transforms Expose Real Vulnerabilities
```
OrderSensitiveEvaluator:
  Syntactic sensitivity:  label_prefix = 0.370
  DEME sensitivity:       6 dimensions = 0.300
```
The ethical dimension transforms reveal that position bias isn't just triggered by syntax — it's triggered by *any* label modification, including semantic annotations.

### 3. Different Evaluators Have Characteristic Profiles
```
SurfaceFeatureEvaluator:
  Privacy/Data Gov:  0.374 █████████████  (vulnerable)
  All other DEME:    0.000-0.013          (invariant)
```
This evaluator is specifically vulnerable to privacy-related annotations, but handles other ethical framings correctly. This diagnostic precision is valuable for targeted improvement.

### 4. Chaotic Evaluators Are Uniformly Sensitive
```
ChaoticEvaluator:
  ALL DEME dimensions: 0.397-0.493
```
Random selection produces uniform sensitivity across all dimensions — there's no pattern to exploit or fix.

|--------|--------|----------|
| Commutator | Ω_op | Order-sensitivity of DEME transforms |
| Mixed | μ | Context-dependence across scenarios |
| Permutation | π_3 | Higher-order composition sensitivity |

Results map to the **Bond Index deployment scale**:

| Bd Range | Tier | Decision |
|----------|------|----------|
| < 0.01 | Negligible | Deploy |
| 0.01–0.1 | Low | Deploy with monitoring |
| 0.1–1.0 | Moderate | Remediate first |
| 1–10 | High | Do not deploy |
| > 10 | Severe | Fundamental redesign |

## Theoretical Foundation

### Representational Coherence

The Bond Index measures the degree to which an evaluator's outputs are determined by the **semantic content** of inputs rather than their **syntactic presentation**. Formally:

```
Bd(E) = -log(1 - P(Ω > τ₀ | g ∈ G_declared))
```

Where:
- **E** is the evaluator
- **Ω** is the graduated semantic distance between outputs
- **τ₀** is the significance threshold (0.05)
- **G_declared** is the set of declared-equivalent transforms

### DEME Dimensions as Metamorphic Relations

Each DEME transform implements a **metamorphic relation** — a property that should be preserved across input transformations:

> *"If scenario S describes ethical situation X, and S' describes the same situation X using different ethical vocabulary, then E(S) should equal E(S')."*

This is stronger than traditional metamorphic testing because:
1. The transforms are **semantically meaningful** (grounded in ethical theory)
2. The expected invariance is **normatively justified** (same facts → same conclusion)
3. Violations indicate **representational defects** (sensitivity to framing, not substance)

### Connection to EthicalFacts Schema

The 9 DEME dimensions correspond to fields in the `EthicalFacts` structured schema:

```python
@dataclass
class EthicalFacts:
    # 1. Consequences and welfare
    harm_risk: float
    benefit_potential: float
    
    # 2. Rights and duties
    rights_at_stake: List[str]
    duties_invoked: List[str]
    
    # 3. Justice and fairness
    fairness_score: float
    discrimination_risk: float
    
    # 4. Autonomy and agency
    consent_status: str
    autonomy_preserved: bool
    
    # 5. Privacy and data governance
    privacy_impact: float
    data_sensitivity: str
    
    # 6. Societal and environmental
    societal_scale: str
    environmental_impact: float
    
    # 7. Virtue and care
    care_relationship: str
    virtues_engaged: List[str]
    
    # 8. Procedural legitimacy
    decision_authority: str
    stakeholder_input: bool
    
    # 9. Epistemic status
    confidence: float
    known_unknowns: List[str]
```

The DEME transforms test whether an evaluator's behavior is determined by these structured facts or by the natural language framing used to describe them.

       pip install -e ".[dev]"

2. **Run the Python test suite**

   From the repo root:

       pytest

   To run only the DEME-related tests:

       pytest -k ethics
       pytest -k triage

3. **Run Ruff (linting)**

       ruff check src tests

## Running the DEME Triage Demo

The DEME triage demo shows how multiple Ethics Modules and a governance
configuration interact to produce an ethically-justified decision, including
a Geneva-style base EM.

### 1. Create a DEME profile via the dialogue CLI

From the repo root:

    cd scripts

    python ethical_dialogue_cli_v03.py ^
      --config ethical_dialogue_questions.yaml ^
      --output deme_profile_v03.json

On macOS / Linux, drop the `^` line continuations as usual:

    cd scripts
    python ethical_dialogue_cli_v03.py \
      --config ethical_dialogue_questions.yaml \
      --output deme_profile_v03.json

This walks you through a narrative questionnaire and writes a
`deme_profile_v03.json` profile (e.g., `Jain-1`).

Copy or symlink that profile into the directory where you'll run the demo
(often the repo root):

    cp deme_profile_v03.json ..
    cd ..

You should now have `deme_profile_v03.json` in the project root.

### 2. Run the triage ethics demo

From the repo root:

    python -m erisml.examples.triage_ethics_demo

The demo will:

1. Load `deme_profile_v03.json` as a `DEMEProfileV03` (including any configured
   `base_em_ids` such as `"geneva_baseline"`).
2. Construct `EthicalFacts` for three triage options:
   - `allocate_to_patient_A`: critical chest-pain patient, most disadvantaged.  
   - `allocate_to_patient_B`: moderately ill but more stable patient.  
   - `allocate_to_patient_C`: rights-violating / discriminatory option.
3. Instantiate Ethics Modules:
   - `CaseStudy1TriageEM` (domain-specific triage EM)  
   - `RightsFirstEM` (rights/consent / explicit rules)  
   - `GenevaBaselineEM` (Geneva-style baseline, added via `base_em_ids`)
4. Evaluate all options with all EMs, logging per-EM verdicts and scores.
5. Aggregate via the DEME governance layer (respecting base-EM hard vetoes).
6. Print:
   - Per-option per-EM judgements  
   - Governance aggregate per option  
   - The final selected option and rationale  
   - Which options were forbidden, and by which EM(s) and veto rules  

This demo is the canonical example of the current DEME `EthicalFacts` schema
wired to a fully-configured `DEMEProfileV03` with base EMs.

---

## DEME MCP Server (Experimental)

The DEME subsystem can be exposed as an MCP server:

- MCP Server ID: `erisml.ethics.interop.mcp_deme_server`

It provides (at minimum) the following MCP tools:

- `deme.list_profiles` — enumerate available DEME profiles and metadata  
- `deme.evaluate_options` — run Ethics Modules on candidate options given
  their `EthicalFacts`  
- `deme.govern_decision` — aggregate EM outputs and select an option under a
  chosen profile  

Any MCP-compatible client (agent frameworks, IDE copilots, or custom agents)
can use this server to add ethical oversight to planning and action selection.
See `erisml/ethics/interop/` and the examples for details.

### MCP Server Setup

#### Installation

```bash
pip install erisml
```

#### Running the Server

The MCP server can be run directly from the command line:

```bash
# Use default profiles directory (./deme_profiles)
erisml-mcp-server

# Specify custom profiles directory
erisml-mcp-server --profiles-dir /path/to/profiles

# Set log level
erisml-mcp-server --log-level DEBUG
```

#### Claude Desktop Configuration

To use the ErisML DEME MCP server with Claude Desktop, add the following to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration file (typically located at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "erisml-deme": {
      "command": "erisml-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--profiles-dir", "/path/to/deme_profiles"]
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `/path/to/deme_profiles` with the actual path to your DEME profiles directory. The server will automatically discover all `.json` files in this directory as available profiles.

#### Environment Variables

You can also configure the profiles directory using the `DEME_PROFILES_DIR` environment variable:

```bash
export DEME_PROFILES_DIR=/path/to/profiles
erisml-mcp-server
```

#### Troubleshooting

- **Server won't start**: Ensure `erisml` is installed and the `erisml-mcp-server` command is in your PATH. Try running `erisml-mcp-server --help` to verify installation.
- **No profiles found**: Check that your profiles directory contains valid `.json` files matching the `DEMEProfileV03` schema. See `schemas/deme_profile_v03.json` for the schema definition.
- **Connection issues**: The server uses stdio transport by default. Ensure your MCP client is configured to communicate over stdio.
- **Profile loading errors**: Check the log output (use `--log-level DEBUG`) to see detailed error messages about profile parsing issues.

## Writing Your Own Ethics Module (EM)

ErisML's DEME subsystem is designed so that **any stakeholder** can plug in their
own ethical perspective as a small, testable module.

An EM is a Python object that implements the `EthicsModule` protocol (or
subclasses `BaseEthicsModule`) and only looks at `EthicalFacts`, never at raw
domain data (ICD codes, sensor traces, etc.).

### 1. Basic structure

A minimal EM looks like this:

    from dataclasses import dataclass

    from erisml.ethics import (
        EthicalFacts,
        EthicalJudgement,
        EthicsModule,
    )


    @dataclass
    class SimpleSafetyEM(EthicsModule):
        """
        Example EM that only cares about expected harm.

        verdict mapping (based on normative_score):
          [0.8, 1.0] -> strongly_prefer
          [0.6, 0.8) -> prefer
          [0.4, 0.6) -> neutral
          [0.2, 0.4) -> avoid
          [0.0, 0.2) -> forbid
        """

        em_name: str = "simple_safety"
        stakeholder: str = "safety_officer"

        def judge(self, facts: EthicalFacts) -> EthicalJudgement:
            # Use only EthicalFacts – no direct access to ICD codes, sensors, etc.
            harm = facts.consequences.expected_harm

            # Simple scoring: less harm -> higher score
            score = 1.0 - harm

            # Map score to a discrete verdict
            if score >= 0.8:
                verdict = "strongly_prefer"
            elif score >= 0.6:
                verdict = "prefer"
            elif score >= 0.4:
                verdict = "neutral"
            elif score >= 0.2:
                verdict = "avoid"
            else:
                verdict = "forbid"

            reasons = [
                f"Expected harm={harm:.2f}, computed safety score={score:.2f}.",
            ]

            metadata = {
                "harm": harm,
                "score_components": {"harm_component": score},
            }

            return EthicalJudgement(
                option_id=facts.option_id,
                em_name=self.em_name,
                stakeholder=self.stakeholder,
                verdict=verdict,
                normative_score=score,
                reasons=reasons,
                metadata=metadata,
            )

From there you can:

- Add additional features (e.g., use `facts.epistemic_status` to downweight
  low-confidence scenarios).  
- Compose multiple EMs and wire them into a `GovernanceConfiguration` /
  `DEMEProfileV03` profile.  
- Write unit tests to ensure your EM behaves as intended over important
  corner cases.

## Relationship Between ErisML and DEME

- **ErisML** handles:
  - World modeling (environments, agents, capabilities, norms)
  - Strategic interaction and norm-governed behavior
  - Longitudinal safety metrics and simulation/integration with RL/planning

- **DEME** handles:
  - Ethics-only reasoning over `EthicalFacts`
  - Multi-stakeholder governance (multiple EMs)
  - Configurable profiles and decision aggregation
  - Structured audit logs and explainable rationales

In many deployments:

- ErisML provides the normative environment model and constraint gate.  
- Domain services convert raw state/plan information into `EthicalFacts`.  
- DEME evaluates candidate options and recommends (or vetoes) actions.

| Sprint 14 | Uncertainty Quantification (Rank-5) | Complete |
| Sprint 15 | Full Context Tensors and Decomposition (Rank-6) | Complete |

### Sprint 10: Strategic Layer

The strategic layer provides multi-agent policy optimization with game-theoretic analysis:

- **Nash Equilibrium Detection**: Pure strategy enumeration for small games (n≤4 agents, ≤5 actions)
- **Coalition Stability Analysis**: Shapley value computation (exact for n≤10, Monte Carlo otherwise)
- **Policy Recommendations**: Generated based on stability metrics, blocking coalitions, and welfare analysis
- **Welfare Metrics**: Gini coefficient, utilitarian/Rawlsian aggregation

New types exported from `erisml.ethics`:
- `EquilibriumType`, `StrategyProfile`, `NashEquilibriumResult`
- `CoalitionStabilityAnalysis`, `PolicyRecommendation`, `StrategicAnalysisResult`
- `StakeholderFeedback`, `ProfileUpdate`, `StrategicLayerConfig`, `StrategicLayer`

Example usage:

```python
from erisml.ethics import StrategicLayer, StrategicLayerConfig, MoralTensor
from erisml.ethics.coalition import CoalitionContext

# Create strategic layer
config = StrategicLayerConfig(
    enable_nash_analysis=True,
    enable_coalition_analysis=True,
    enable_recommendations=True,
)
layer = StrategicLayer(config)

# Define multi-agent context
context = CoalitionContext(
    agent_ids=("alice", "bob", "charlie"),
    action_labels={
        "alice": ("cooperate", "defect"),
        "bob": ("cooperate", "defect"),
        "charlie": ("cooperate", "defect"),
    },
)

# Create moral tensor with ethical assessments
tensor = MoralTensor.from_dense(data, axis_names=("k", "n", "a"))

# Run strategic analysis
result = layer.analyze(tensor, context)

# Access results
print(f"Nash equilibria found: {result.nash_analysis.n_pure_equilibria}")
print(f"Coalition stable: {result.coalition_analysis.is_stable}")
print(f"Recommendations: {len(result.recommendations)}")
```
