ARCH
ARCH is a way of breaking down how an AI thinks and acts into four simple steps: deciding what to do, explaining why, checking if it's still on track, and planning the next move. It makes the AI's 'thought process' easy for a human to read and follow.
ARCH is the human-legible implementation of an agentic-execution loop. It structures AI operations into four distinct phases: Action (the task execution), Reasoning (the meta-logic behind the move), Contextual check (validating alignment and state), and Horizon (the hand-off to the next step in the pipeline). It serves as the verification-and-execution counterpart to CAGE.
Action (atomic or algorithmic, grain rising with maturity), Reasoning (meta-orientation stated before output), Contextual check (presence plus compliance), Horizon (hand-off chaining steps into a pipe) — the human-legible form of an agentic ReAct loop; the verification-and-execution back half that pairs with CAGE.
