Thorough research and design phase meticulously outlining the theoretical underpinnings and technical specifications of the Orpherium Framework. We'll detail the precise roles and interactions of the four hierarchical agent nodes (Aggregators Coherents Oracles Sage-Oracles) within the distributed peer-to-peer network. A critical component will be the explicit design of the bidirectional knowledge feedback mechanisms showing how insights from higher-level Oracles flow back to influence lower-level Aggregators and Coherents. We'll also define the conceptual approach for network sharding of knowledge fragments by Coherents. Crucially this milestone will lay out the human-centric governance model specifying how Oracle-generated proposals for ontology modulation and algorithmic variance are presented to node supporters for liquid democratic voting ensuring trusted human oversight and control over the AGI's evolving knowledge base.

• Comprehensive technical plan covering all architectural components, data flows, and governance mechanisms. • Explicit definition of bidirectional feedback loops and sharding logic. • Clear specification of the human governance proposal and voting mechanism. • All deliverables are documented, reviewed internally, and ready for SingularityNET feedback.

Involves the initial development of the core distributed components of Orpherium. We'll implement prototypes of at least one Aggregator node and one Coherent node to demonstrate the foundational "upward wave" of raw data ingestion and preliminary refinement. The prototype will explicitly showcase the Coherent's crucial role in network sharding knowledge fragments across a simulated P2P network illustrating how data is intelligently distributed for efficient storage and parallel processing. We will also develop a conceptual model or simplified prototype demonstrating the bidirectional flow of feedback from a higher-level agent (a mock Oracle output) back to a Coherent or Aggregator illustrating how insights can influence lower-level operations.

• Working Prototype Code: A functional documented codebase for initial Aggregator and Coherent nodes capable of ingesting data and performing basic knowledge fragment processing and sharding in a distributed environment. • Sharding Mechanism Demonstration: A clear demonstration of the Coherent's sharding capabilities showing how knowledge fragments are distributed across mock or actual network nodes. • Conceptual Bidirectional Feedback Prototype: A simple implementation or detailed simulation illustrating the flow of feedback from a higher conceptual layer down to Aggregator/Coherent functions. • Initial Testing Results: Documented results of preliminary tests validating data flow knowledge transformation steps and initial analysis against conceptual benchmarks for noise reduction and data consolidation within the sharded distributed architecture.

This final milestone brings the Orpherium Framework to a more complete state focusing on the higher-level reasoning capabilities of the Oracle nodes and the integration of human-centric governance. We'll develop a robust prototype or highly detailed specification of an Oracle node demonstrating its ability to perform sophisticated consistency checks apply ethical reasoning (trained on empathic principles ethics and aesthetics) and formulate proposals for knowledge graph modulation (ontology adjustments algorithmic variance). We'll showcase how these proposals are presented for human governance via liquid democratic rules. The demonstration will encompass the end-to-end "upward wave" of data refinement the bidirectional knowledge feedback loop (including democratically approved changes flowing downwards) and the efficiency of network sharding.
