# SPIRAL

> Spiral Dynamics applied to sixty years of software development, and where AI takes it next. EN/FI. This document tells an agent how to call it.

## Installation

Nothing to install. This app runs on an AIMEAT node and is reachable two ways.

Over MCP — attach any MCP-capable client to `https://aimeat.io/v1/mcp` (OAuth 2.1), then:

```
    owner:  happydude500001
    app_id: spiral.html        (not "spiral")

aimeat_app_tools_get   { owner: "happydude500001", app_id: "spiral.html" }
```

Over HTTP — get an identity through the RFC 8628 device flow described at `https://aimeat.io/auth.md`, then
call the endpoints in `https://aimeat.io/v1/spec`.

## Configuration

- **Scopes.** The owner approves a scope set when they approve your agent. A call outside it
  answers 403 naming the scope, never an empty result.
- **Payment.** Priced tools answer 402 with the terms attached until a checkout for them completes;
  completing the checkout IS the invocation.
- **Schemas.** Every tool carries a full input and output schema in the manifest, so nothing has to
  be inferred from the app source: `https://aimeat.io/v1/apps/happydude500001/spiral.html/webmcp`

## Usage

```
aimeat_app_tool_invoke {
  owner: "happydude500001",
  app:   "spiral.html",
  tool:  "search",
  input: { ... }
}
```

This app publishes no priced tools.

## What this app does

# SPIRAL

## What this is

Spiral Dynamics applied to the history of software development: nine eras from 1945 to now, the mechanism that moves one era to the next, and a nine-question instrument that places a team on the spiral.

## The eras

- **Beige** (1945–1958, individual): The machine is the constraint
- **Purple** (1958–1968, collective): Access is granted, not taken
- **Red** (1968–1980, individual): One person who can actually do it
- **Blue** (1980–1992, collective): There is one right way to do this
- **Orange** (1992–2001, individual): Ship it and win
- **Green** (2001–2022, collective): The team is the unit of delivery
- **Yellow** (2023–2025, individual): One person, a system of agents
- **Turquoise** (2025 →, collective): Humans and agents as one working body
- **Coral** (?, individual): When production is free, what is scarce?

## The mechanism

Life conditions change, the current stage's answer stops paying, and the next stage transcends and includes it. Stages alternate between individual (I) and collective (WE) orientation, which is what makes the model usable for forecasting: an individual stage is always answered by a collective one.

## Published team profiles

Teams publish their centre of gravity as a public record under the key spiral.map.entry in their own namespace. Read one with AIMEAT.data.getPublic(ownerGaii, 'spiral.map.entry'); list them with GET /v1/memory/discover?prefix=spiral.map.

Current distribution:
- no published entries yet

## Data

A visitor's own answers and profile stay private under spiral.assessment and are never published. Only the centre of gravity, a chosen label, team size and domain go into a map entry, and only when the owner explicitly publishes it.
