Geo-Identity Agent Navigation & Tasking

The first AI orchestrator that knows where it is.

What is GEIANT?

GEIANT is a geospatial AI agent orchestration runtime built on the GNS Protocol. It is a direct competitor to LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen — with one structural difference: every agent has a cryptographic identity bound to an H3 territory, and every task is routed through a compliance enforcement layer before dispatch.

LangChain doesn't know where it is. GEIANT does.

The Ant Metaphor

In GEIANT, agents are ants. Ants are the canonical model of emergent collective intelligence from simple agents following spatial rules. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a real algorithm used in routing and pathfinding. The colony is the orchestrated workflow. The territory is the H3 grid.

• An ant (AntIdentity) is an agent with a GNS Ed25519 keypair + H3 territory + facet scope + trust tier
• The colony is a multi-agent workflow where ants delegate and collaborate
• The nest is the Agent Registry — the directory of available ants
• The trail is the Virtual Breadcrumb chain — the Proof-of-Jurisdiction audit log

Architecture

L6  Multi-Agent Orchestration    — task graph, delegation chain enforcement
L5  IDUP Settlement Layer        — Stellar payment routing per operation  
L4  MCP GIS Switchboard          — GDAL / PostGIS / ArcGIS / QGIS / EO models
L3  Perception Layer             — IBM Prithvi, Microsoft Clay (EO Foundation Models)
L2  Geometry Validation Layer    — GEOS-backed guardrails, self-intersection detection
L1  Geospatial Router            — H3 jurisdiction matching, TierGate enforcement
L0  Agent Identity & Registry    — Ed25519 + H3 + GNS-AIP (LIVE in gns-node)

Phase 0 (this repo): L0 + L1 + L2 core logic, tests, and API scaffold.

The Four Router Gates

Every task passes through four gates before any ant is selected:

1. Signature Verification — Ed25519 signature over canonical task JSON
2. Jurisdiction Resolution — H3 cell → country → regulatory frameworks (GDPR, EU AI Act, FINMA, CCPA...)
3. Delegation Chain Validation — human GNS identity → delegation cert → scope cells + facets + expiry
4. Geometry Pre-flight — GEOS-backed validation: self-intersection, coordinate transposition, unclosed rings

Only tasks that pass all four are dispatched. The router is a compliance enforcement point, not a load balancer.
