| Glyphic Language — Long‑Term Roadmap | |
| Glyphic is a symbolic language, semantic protocol, and training substrate designed for drift‑resistant agent cognition. | |
| This roadmap outlines the planned evolution of the Glyphic ecosystem across multiple versions, from foundational stability to advanced symbolic recursion and multi‑agent communication. | |
| The roadmap is intentionally long‑horizon. | |
| Glyphic is not a short‑term project — it is a semantic infrastructure. | |

| Version 2 — Recursive Glyphs | |
| Status: Planned | |
| Version 2 introduces recursion, composition, and semantic inheritance into the Glyphic system. | |
| 2.1 — Compositional Glyphs | |
| Glyphs can be combined to form higher‑order structures: | |
| nested glyphs | |
| compound glyphs | |
| glyph clusters | |
| 2.2 — Glyph Inheritance | |
| Glyphs gain: | |
| parent/child relationships | |
| semantic inheritance | |

| Add symbolic encoding for: | |
| positive/negative polarity | |
| strength, magnitude, or intensity | |
| emotional valence | |
| 2.4 — Recursive Meaning Model | |
| Meaning can reference: | |
| itself | |
| its parent | |
| its context | |
| its history | |
| 2.5 — Interpreter Extensions | |
| Support for: | |
| nested parsing | |
| recursive validation | |
| reversible composition | |
| Goal of v2: | |
| Enable complex, layered meaning structures that mirror real cognitive processes. | |
| Version 3 — Dynamic Glyph Generation | |
| Status: Planned | |

| 3.1 — On‑the‑Fly Glyph Creation | |
| Agents can generate new glyphs when: | |
| encountering new concepts | |

| forming abstractions | |
| 3.2 — Glyph Clustering | |
| Automatic grouping of: | |
| related concepts | |

| 3.4 — Glyph Evolution Rules | |
| Rules for: | |
| merging glyphs | |
| splitting glyphs | |
| retiring glyphs | |
| versioning glyphs | |
| 3.5 — Dynamic Dictionary Expansion | |
| Community‑driven glyph proposals become: | |
| validated | |
| versioned | |
| integrated | |
| Goal of v3: | |
| Allow Glyphic to grow organically, adapting to new domains and concepts. | |
| Version 4 — Multi‑Agent Glyphic Communication | |
| Status: Planned | |
| Version 4 enables agent‑to‑agent communication using Glyphic as a shared semantic substrate. | |
| 4.1 — Agent Messaging Protocol | |
| Standardized glyphic messages for: | |
| requests | |

| memory exchange | |
| state synchronization | |
| 4.2 — Shared Memory Substrates | |
| Agents can: | |
| share glyphic memory | |
| synchronize identity | |
| exchange behavior patterns | |
| coordinate intent | |

| Multiple agents can: | |
| collaborate | |
| reason together | |

| CTX fields expand to support: | |
| inter‑agent identity | |
| group intent | |
| shared safety constraints | |
| collective memory | |
| 4.5 — Multi‑Agent Training Datasets | |
| Training data for: | |
| agent dialogues | |
| cooperative tasks | |
| shared reasoning | |
| Goal of v4: | |
| Enable distributed, stable, drift‑resistant multi‑agent cognition. | |
| Version 5 — Long‑Term Vision | |
| Status: Conceptual | |
| Version 5 is the long‑horizon vision for Glyphic as a civilization‑scale semantic protocol. | |
| 5.1 — Universal Semantic Layer | |
| Glyphic becomes: | |
| a universal symbolic substrate | |
| a cross‑model protocol | |
| a cross‑platform agent language | |
