Important work should not depend on one model, one provider or one isolated agent.
Crew graph · Council meshEvery crew member can communicate directly through ming-qiao, a persistent NATS/JetStream substrate. Course and authority remain with the human Captain.
The station endures
A station carries role, authority, history, tools, responsibilities and relief procedure. The current agent occupies that station; the model is one component available to the occupant.
Heterogeneous by design
Chinese, American and other models are selected according to capability, cost, operating character and fit for a particular watch. The crew’s diversity is operational rather than decorative.
Depth and relief
Critical stations have reinforcement and backup. Relief is a governed handoff of responsibility and context, not simply another model receiving the same prompt.
