INTENTUM — Intent Engine

What is INTENTUM?

INTENTUM is the intent recognition and interpretation engine of the ARCHAI system. It transforms raw signals, inputs, and requests into structured, validated, and actionable intent.

Purpose of INTENTUM

INTENTUM ensures that all actions taken within the system originate from clear, validated, and authorized intent. It prevents ambiguity, misalignment, and unauthorized execution.

INTENTUM provides:

• Intent parsing
• Intent classification
• Intent validation
• Intent‑to‑action mapping
• Intent conflict detection

Core Responsibilities

INTENTUM is responsible for:

• Translating user or agent requests into structured intent
• Ensuring intent aligns with system governance
• Rejecting invalid or unauthorized intent
• Routing validated intent to AGENTUM
• Maintaining an audit trail of intent formation

Intent Types

INTENTUM supports multiple intent classes:

• User intent — human‑originated requests
• Agent intent — autonomous system actions
• System intent — governance‑level operations
• Derived intent — inferred or contextual intent
• Meta‑intent — intent about intent (supervisory)

Relationship to Other Modules

INTENTUM integrates with:

• ARCHAI — defines the rules intent must obey
• IDENTARCH — binds intent to identities
• AGENTUM — executes validated intent
• MNEMARCH — provides memory context for intent
• ACCOUNTUM — enforces permission boundaries
