Philanthropy API
Operator‑Level Interface (RTT/1)#
This document defines the callable operators used in the Philanthropy & Funding Transparency module.
All operators follow RTT grammar and integrate with SET load, governance substrate, drift detection, and the triadic observer.
Each operator includes:
- signature
- description
- inputs
- outputs
- structural notes
1. Flow Operators#
FLOW(src → dst)#
Moves funding from one node to another.
Inputs:
- src (node)
- dst (node)
- amount (numeric)
Outputs:
- updated flow state
Notes:
Backbone of all philanthropic routing.
TRACE(path)#
Reveals the full funding chain.
Inputs:
- ordered list of nodes
Outputs:
- visibility map
- missing segments
Notes:
Used for transparency and auditability.
LEAK(node)#
Measures loss at a node.
Inputs:
- node
Outputs:
- leakage percentage
Notes:
High leakage is a structural red indicator.
CONVERT(input → output)#
Transforms funding into outputs or outcomes.
Inputs:
- input (funding)
- output (deliverable)
Outputs:
- conversion ratio
Notes:
Used for outcome analysis.
2. SET Load Operators#
SET_IN(node)#
Energy entering a node.
SET_OUT(node)#
Energy leaving a node.
SET_LEAK(node)#
Energy lost at a node.
SET_BAL(node)#
Efficiency ratio.
Notes:
SET load is the energy model for philanthropic systems.
3. Governance Substrate Operators#
GOV(node)#
Authority structure.
ACC(node)#
Accountability structure.
VIS(node)#
Visibility / transparency.
ASYM(node)#
Asymmetry of power or information.
OPA(node)#
Opacity level.
Notes:
Weak substrate predicts drift.
4. Regime Operators#
REG(node) = AUTH / NAR / EMO / STR#
Classifies the dominant regime.
Notes:
- AUTH → authority
- NAR → narrative
- EMO → emotional
- STR → structural
5. Observer Operators#
SIG(data)#
Extracts structural truth.
NOI(data)#
Extracts narrative/emotional noise.
CTX(node)#
Contextual metadata.
SYN(system)#
Synthesizes signal, noise, and regime.
Notes:
Used for drift detection and alignment scoring.
6. Drift Operators#
DRF(type)#
Detects drift.
Types:
- mission
- financial
- governance
- reporting
- structural
- regime
Outputs:
- drift severity
- drift signature
7. Alignment Operators#
ALN(donor)#
Computes donor alignment score.
Formula:
DAS =
w1 * IntentClarity
+ w2 * FlowIntegrity
+ w3 * OutcomeCoherence
+ w4 * RegimeStability
COH(system)#
Measures coherence between flows, outcomes, and governance.
IMPACT(flow)#
Measures beneficiary‑level effect.
8. Red Indicator Operators#
RED(flag)#
Flags structural anomalies.
Flags:
- flow_break
- opacity
- overhead_spike
- narrative_inflation
- governance_asymmetry
- leakage
9. Correction Operators#
FIX(node)#
Applies structural correction.
Examples:
FIX(Foundation) → increase payout rate
FIX(Intermediary) → reduce overhead
FIX(NGO) → improve reporting clarity
10. API Usage Pattern#
Standard RTT analysis loop:
1. FLOW + TRACE
2. SET_IN/OUT/LEAK/BAL
3. GOV/ACC/VIS/ASYM/OPA
4. REG + SIG/NOI/CTX/SYN
5. DRF classification
6. ALN scoring
7. FIX recommendations
Summary#
The Philanthropy API provides a complete operator‑level interface for analyzing:
- funding flows
- governance substrate
- SET load
- regime patterns
- drift
- alignment
- structural corrections
All operators are minimal, composable, and fully RTT/1‑aligned.
