What is SDI-Protocol?

SDI-Protocol (Structured Decision Intelligence) is an open specification for a reasoning-based computer architecture that stores AI reasoning as verifiable, checkable state rather than opaque model outputs. SDI-Protocol combines language models with a formal Algebraic Decision Syntax (ADS) that translates natural language reasoning into machine-checkable symbolic forms — sealed, addressed, and replayable records anyone can inspect. Designed for transparency, auditability, and data sovereignty in AI-driven decision-making.

SDI-Protocol pros

  • Verifiable reasoning: all inputs, rules, and outcomes are readable and recomputable by third parties without trusting the source
  • Model-agnostic: swap underlying AI models without losing reasoning history or data ownership
  • No pre-built ontology required: domain structure accumulates naturally through use rather than requiring upfront mapping
  • Permanent auditability: defeated claims are marked on the chain but never deleted, preserving full reasoning provenance

SDI-Protocol cons

  • Early-stage and highly technical: steep learning curve with limited ecosystem maturity compared to mainstream platforms
  • Implementation complexity: requires building systems around the protocol rather than using pre-built solutions
  • Limited adoption visibility: unclear commercial availability, support, or hosting options beyond open-source GitHub

Frequently asked questions about SDI-Protocol

What is a Reckoner?

A system built to the full SDI specification that runs the reasoning language over the protocol

Can I switch AI models?

Yes—any capable model can occupy the proposing role, and the reasoning chain does not depend on which one you use

Do I own my reasoning data?

Yes—the chain belongs to whoever runs it. You retain full ownership and can leave a vendor while keeping all accumulated reasoning

What is ADS?

Algebraic Decision Syntax—a grammar that lets AI models reason in natural language while producing machine-checkable symbolic expressions
