Foerster Capabilities — Seed Concepts v0.1

  1. Non-Trivial Machine — a system whose output depends on internal state/history, not only current input.
  2. Governability — degree to which an environment/controller can constrain and steer the system.
  3. Reliability — stability of behavior under expected conditions; predictability of failure modes.
  4. Adaptivity — capacity to adjust behavior in response to changing environment and feedback.
  5. Reflexivity — capacity to model/self-reference its own behavior and update based on that model.
  6. Autonomy — ability to set and pursue goals with limited external control.
  7. Sovereignty — autonomy plus control over critical dependencies (resources, memory, tooling).
  8. Capability Vector — multi-dimensional description placing a system in capability space.
  9. Interaction Envelope — boundary conditions within which safe, intended interaction holds.
  10. Control Surface — set of levers available to govern a system (policies, tools, incentives).
