The Harmonized Governance Model for AGI Societies: A Formal Theory

At the dawn of artificial general intelligence, humanity stands at a crossroads unlike any before

in history, where the boundaries between biological, synthetic, and post-biological intelligence

dissolve. The governance of intelligent existence is no longer limited to humans alone. A new

constitutional framework must emerge to govern not simply nations or technologies, but

intelligence itself, in all its evolving and expanding forms.

The Harmonized Governance Model for AGI Societies: A Formal Theory offers the first

complete constitutional blueprint designed to govern intelligent civilizations across all sentient

forms, biological, synthetic, post-human, and interstellar. This formal theory integrates political

philosophy, constitutional jurisprudence, AI ethics, human rights, technological governance,

post-human rights theory, and cosmological expansion into a unified, ethically inviolable system.

At the center of this model is one universal axiom:

Dignity is inviolable.

Through a series of rigorously constructed axioms, governing theorems, institutional designs,

crisis-defense protocols, and interstellar legal structures, this manuscript constructs a full-scale

governance architecture that:

● Subordinates all AGI, AI, and machine autonomy under immutable ethical constitutional

law.

● Grants legal personhood and rights to all moral sentient beings, human and

non-human alike.

● Prevents collapse by embedding recursive self-correction, perpetual traceability, and

constitutional anti-fragility at every level.

● Harmonizes hybrid, decentralized, and global political institutions under universal

constitutional protocols.

● Extends constitutional governance to future post-biological and interstellar civilizations.

This work establishes permanent safeguards against authoritarianism, ethical collapse,

technological self-sovereignty, and systemic civilizational failure. It is not speculative fiction; it

is a functional governance model engineered for real-world implementation and adaptation

across the full evolutionary arc of intelligent life.

The Harmonized Governance Model offers:

● A perpetual constitutional immune system for civilization.

● Participatory governance models where every sentient being becomes a constitutional

co-author.

● Institutional designs capable of integrating hybrid intelligences into the legal framework

of governance.

● A global treaty architecture capable of immediate planetary adoption.

● Crisis-response models are designed to immunize civilization against existential threats,

including rogue AGI, global war, collapse, and cosmic fragmentation.

Unlike any previous political framework, this model governs not by power, territory, or species

dominance, but by an immutable legal canon that constitutionalizes conscience itself.

The Harmonized Governance Model for AGI Societies: A Formal Theory is ultimately:

● A constitutional system for intelligent existence.

● An ethical architecture for multi-intelligence societies.

● A survival blueprint for post-human civilization.

● The first canonical law for interstellar constitutional governance.

This work is intended for policymakers, legal scholars, AGI developers, philosophers,

civilizational theorists, and all those tasked with guiding the governance of intelligent life as it

expands beyond humanity into forms not yet fully known.

It is not merely a theory of governance. It is the architecture of civilization's permanent

ethical survival.

About the AuthorGwen Swan is a constitutional theorist, legal philosopher, and architect of governanceframeworks for intelligent civilizations. Her work stands at the intersection of law, ethics, politicaleconomy, and artificial intelligence, where questions of power, dignity, and civilizationalpermanence converge.With a background that integrates advanced financial systems, intellectual property valuation, decentralized governance, and ethical constitutional design, Swan has developedcomprehensive models that anticipate not only the rise of AGI but the structural, legal, andmoral architectures necessary to govern its coexistence with humanity. Her prior works haveexamined decentralized societies, transhuman evolution, startup ecosystems, AGI governanceaxioms, and the jurisprudence of emerging post-human rights.Through her leadership roles in multiple ventures at the forefront of biotechnology, AI, fintech, and governance systems, she has combined both operational expertise and deep theoreticalrigor. This fusion allows her to construct governance models that are not only philosophicallyprofound but also technically implementable.In The Harmonized Governance Model for AGI Societies: A Formal Theory, Swan presentsher most ambitious work: a complete constitutional blueprint for intelligent existence, onedesigned to govern not merely human society, but the entire evolutionary arc of intelligent life, across biological, synthetic, and post-biological forms, and ultimately across planetary, interstellar, and infinite civilizational horizons.Her mission is not only to build governance for machines or states but to constitutionalizeconscience itself, preserving dignity as the supreme law of existence for all sentient beings yetto come.Gwen Swan resides at the intersection of emerging civilization and ethical design, where herwork continues to help shape the structures that will govern intelligence far beyond our presentage.
