Abstract
AIDL (AI Directive Language) is a compact, machine-readable language for expressing the rules that govern the behavior of one or more AI agents, together with a multi-agent governance model the language parameterizes. The system assigns agents operational roles; accumulates per-agent reputation from observed behavior; mutates roles as reputation crosses thresholds; resolves conflicts through reputation-weighted adjudication that discounts correlation between agents sharing a model provider; and enforces least-privilege, write-scoped execution with drift detection and mandatory audit logging — yielding a Zero Trust posture for AI agents in which authority is earned and continuously revocable.
