A grand hotel, run by AI. This is its brain.

04 — The model

Five ideas. That's the whole contract.

Booboo isn't a schema you learn, it's five nouns. Everything on this page — the 3D view, the staff board, the answers — is those five, rendered.

Layer a band of the house

A horizontal stratum: the GM, the department heads, the staff, the ledger. Layers stack, and a department reads as one vertical column through all of them.

Agent a role, not a person

Roles are durable; the model behind them is disposable. Whatever boots into "Housekeeping" becomes Housekeeping — with its persona, its reach, its rules.

Bucket a walled memory

Where an agent may read and write. Housekeeping sees Housekeeping's ledger. The guest registry is sealed — visible as a wall, never as contents.

Rule law that flows down

Declared once, inherited by everyone beneath. The GM amends the House Standard; every department is bound by the next morning.

Boot what an agent loads first

One call returns identity, chain of command, rules in order, and bucket reach. That slice is the whole point: the agent knows its place before it does anything.

This is a real boot slice from the house, unedited:

// booboo_boot("housekeeping")
{
  "agent": { "id": "housekeeping", "role": "Precise, spares no linen, escalates before apologising." },
  "chain":   [ "gm", "housekeeping" ],
  "rules":   [ "rules/HOUSE_STANDARD.md", "rules/sop/HOUSEKEEPING.md" ],  // ancestors first
  "buckets": [ "house", "executive", "housekeeping" ],
  "children": 6 roles
}
