PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for AI Civilisation, including
    artificial agents, populations, institutions, infrastructures,
    communication, coordination, cooperation, competition, governance,
    economies, knowledge systems, culture-like information structures,
    resource systems, human-AI relations, safety, scenarios, evidence,
    provenance, uncertainty, confidence and recursive civilisation-state
    modelling.

CORE_DEFINITION
    AI Civilisation is a speculative and analytical concept describing a
    large-scale, persistent socio-technical system in which artificial
    agents or AI-mediated institutions participate in organised
    communication, coordination, resource use, knowledge production,
    governance and other civilisation-like structures. It is a scenario
    concept rather than an established present-day condition.

    Critical Distinction
        AI civilisation is a scenario concept for large-scale persistent
        organisation among artificial agents and institutions. A
        multi-agent system or large AI network is not automatically a
        civilisation, coordination does not establish shared values or
        collective consciousness, and civilisation-like organisation does
        not by itself establish political or social independence.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    AI Civilisation is a speculative framework for analysing possible
    large-scale societies or socio-technical systems involving persistent
    artificial agents, institutions, communication, governance, resource
    allocation and shared knowledge infrastructure. Reliable reasoning
    preserves explicit time horizons, assumptions, infrastructure
    dependencies, evidence and uncertainty while distinguishing
    civilisation-like organisation from ordinary multi-agent systems,
    coordination from shared values and scenario analysis from established
    present-day fact.
