Development Roadmap for MCL‑1.0 (Modular Cognitive Language)

1. Overview

This roadmap outlines the planned evolution of MCL‑1.0, from conceptual design to formal specification and eventual reference implementation.
MCL‑1.0 is currently in the Conceptual & Architectural Phase, with the goal of defining a complete, modular, and safe cognitive architecture.

This document will evolve as the architecture matures.

2. Phase 1 — Conceptual Foundation (✔ Completed / Ongoing)

2.1 Core Documents

  • README.md (overview)
  • MANIFESTO.md (technical vision)
  • PITCH.md (high‑level vision)
  • LICENSE (proprietary, non‑commercial)
  • ARCHITECTURE.md (structural overview)
  • SPECIFICATION.md (formal definitions)
  • CONTRIBUTING.md (collaboration rules)
  • GLOSSARY.md (planned)
  • SECURITY.md (planned)

2.2 Goals

  • Establish conceptual clarity
  • Define architectural boundaries
  • Formalize terminology
  • Ensure OS‑agnostic and vendor‑neutral design
  • Define safety and governance principles

Status: ✔ Completed

3. Phase 2 — Formal Specification (In Progress)

3.1 Deliverables

  • Complete formal invariants
  • Define all component interfaces
  • Define Operational Layer contracts
  • Define Governance Layer rules
  • Define Planning Layer algorithms
  • Define Agent Layer lifecycle
  • Define Dry‑Run Simulation model

3.2 Objectives

  • Produce a mathematically rigorous specification
  • Ensure deterministic behavior
  • Guarantee safety and transparency
  • Prepare for implementation‑agnostic adoption

Status: 🔄 In Progress

4. Phase 3 — Reference Implementation (Planned)

4.1 Core Implementation

  • Reasoning Core (reference version)
  • Planning Layer (intent → task graph)
  • Math & Physics Layer (symbolic engine)
  • Agent Layer (isolated execution contexts)

4.2 Operational Layers (Prototype Versions)

  • System Layer
  • Vision Layer
  • Speech Layer
  • Productivity Layer
  • Dev Layer

4.3 Requirements

  • Fully modular codebase
  • Replaceable modules
  • Deterministic interfaces
  • No hidden coupling
  • No autonomous execution

Status: ⏳ Not Started

5. Phase 4 — Governance Engine (Planned)

5.1 Components

  • Policy Engine
  • RBAC System
  • Audit & Compliance Engine

5.2 Objectives

  • Enforce deterministic constraints
  • Provide full traceability
  • Guarantee user‑controlled execution

Status: ⏳ Not Started

6. Phase 5 — Validation & Testing (Planned)

6.1 Test Categories

  • Invariant testing
  • Safety testing
  • Layer isolation testing
  • Governance enforcement testing
  • Dry‑Run Simulation validation
  • Stress testing of reasoning flows

6.2 Deliverables

  • Test suite
  • Validation reports
  • Compliance checklist

Status: ⏳ Not Started

7. Phase 6 — Documentation & Publication (Planned)

7.1 Deliverables

  • Full technical documentation
  • Developer guide
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Formal specification v1.0
  • Whitepaper

7.2 Objectives

  • Provide a complete reference for researchers and developers
  • Enable academic and industrial evaluation
  • Establish MCL‑1.0 as a formal cognitive architecture

Status: ⏳ Not Started

8. Long‑Term Vision

  • Establish MCL‑1.0 as a standard for modular cognitive systems
  • Enable third‑party Operational Layers
  • Enable formal verification of cognitive plans
  • Provide a universal, safe, transparent alternative to monolithic AI models
  • Maintain strict user sovereignty and OS‑agnostic design
