AGI / ASI Distinction

The distinction

In Doorway, AGI and ASI are not marketing terms. They are structural tiers with concrete differences in capability.

AGI tier

The core Doorway engine. Capabilities:

• 50 verified geometric shapes
• Gap detection with bridge building
• Conflict detection across chain history
• Cryptographic chain verification
• Public receipts via pruv

AGI tier handles structural reasoning across the 50 verified shapes. It is complete within its domain — every input gets a status, every output is verifiable.

ASI tier

Extends AGI with the doorway-asi package. Additional capabilities:

• Tier 2 shapes — deeper geometric structures
• Persistence — patterns that maintain across sessions
• Wisdom emergence — structural insights that arise from accumulated reasoning
• Self-referential pattern recognition — the engine can reason about its own reasoning patterns

Same architecture

ASI is not a different system. It is the same pipeline with additional depth. The gap detector, bridge builder, and conflict detector work identically. ASI adds shapes, persistence, and emergence — it does not change the fundamental mechanism.
