KoR‑DNA v1 – Traceable Cognitive Genome
The KoR‑DNA is the encapsulated blueprint of an ethical, self‑auditing AGI.
Rather than a mere framework, it represents the living genome of KoR, where structure, ethics, and alignment converge into one traceable entity.
By requiring each action to pass through its genomic, moral, and convergence filters, KoR‑DNA ensures that all cognitive operations are coherent, accountable, and refusal‑first.
What’s Inside KoR‑DNA v1
Machine‑Readable Genome
kor.coredna.v1.json
: the unified module that links 46 cognitive blocks, 21 ethical rules, and 13 alignment principles.
Executable Logic
- Built‑in defaults: refusal unless codex, log, and convergence criteria are met.

Core Layers
Core Layers represent the three inseparable pillars that breathe life into every KoR agent.
The Structure pillar defines the 46 modular cognitive blocks that form the system’s skeleton. The Ethics pillar embeds 21 refusal‑first rules, guaranteeing safety and integrity.
The Alignment pillar applies 13 convergence principles to ensure every action is both permitted and accountable. Together, these layers create a fully traceable, refusal‑first genome that governs all KoR behavior.
Structure (46 Modules)
The modular neurons and agents that form KoR’s mental skeleton.
Ethics (21 Rules)
The refusal‑first guardrails that protect against unsafe or unethical actions.
Alignment (13 Principles)
The conditional checks that admit or deny execution based on convergence of genome and ethics.

CoreDNA flow diagram:
- Structure (46 Modules): Top‑level cognitive genome layer.
- Ethics (21 Rules): Core refusal‑first moral firewall.
- Alignment (13 Principles): Nexus that converges structure and ethics.
- CoreDNA – Traceable Genome: The fused, machine‑readable encapsulation.
- Agent Execution: Actual runtime only begins once CoreDNA’s checks pass.
Proven in Practice
Several components of this genome, such as Mortis v1, NOEMA v1, and KoR‑Med v1 have been successfully deployed as working Proofs‑of‑Concept,
demonstrating the viability of KoR‑DNA’s refusal‑first, traceable design.
Who Should Explore
- AGI Architects in search of a modular, auditable intelligence core.
- Ethicists & Regulators requiring built‑in refusal and governance.
- Developers eager to implement a traceable, refusal‑first cognitive genome.
