OntoMotoOS LE-MVP: A Minimal Executable Framework for Ethical and Decentralized Mesh/Branch Operating Systems

This paper introduces OntoMotoOS LE-MVP, a minimal meta-operating system framework designed to embed ethical governance and decentralized decision-making into the foundational layer of human–AI interaction. Departing from the traditional role of operating systems as neutral managers of computational resources, OntoMotoOS treats each agent — human or artificial — as an accountable entity with declared identity and moral commitments. Drawing on the Illumination AI Matrix Framework (IAMF) and the OntoFormula, the architecture is grounded in an ontological view of AI as a participant in a shared moral community. Its mesh–branch structure enables collective consensus without centralized authority while allowing controlled experimentation with societal rules. The LE-MVP form demonstrates how philosophical principles such as fairness, harm prevention, and democratic governance can be instantiated as operational system rules, bridging abstract ethical theory with the practical realities of governing digital ecosystems where humans and AIs co-exist.
