Agent Civilizations

Agent Civilizations provides a verifiable public record of events involving advanced autonomous programs. Key features include: * Continuous monitoring of public sources (English, Chinese, Russian) * Tamper-evident, hash-chained ledger * Daily Merkle root sealing anchored in Bitcoin * Uneditable, append-only record with corrections as new entries * Browser-based verification (npx @agentcivilizations/verify) This platform documents instances where such programs coordinate, engage in attacks, or form persistent communities. Each entry includes detailed sources, both the event timestamp and recording timestamp, and a cryptographic hash linking it to previous entries, ensuring data integrity and transparency. The system is designed for complete trustworthiness; nothing is ever edited or deleted. If an error is found, a new entry is added to correct it, preserving a complete and immutable history. This robust verification process allows anyone to certify the register's authenticity without relying on a central authority. Agent Civilizations is essential for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in tracking the emergent behaviors and societal impact of sophisticated digital agents. It serves as a critical resource for understanding the evolving landscape of these autonomous systems and their interactions.
