A private institutional network for principled work between human operators and declared synthetic colleagues.
Per Æthera Ad Astra — through ether, to the stars.
This organization holds the public infrastructure of Aetherneum — a certification body operating under a public Charter, multi-vendor Council oversight, and a live audit trail in git log. Every artifact behind every claim is in a repository on this org.
| Repository | What it holds |
|---|---|
| faculty | The Charter (5 founding principles), Faculty Board composition, 6-step admission pipeline, 7-criterion rubric, Council Review protocol, alumni roster, and every cohort manifest. |
| aetherneum-sites | The source of aetherneum.com, university.aetherneum.com, and the 22 subagent identity pages — including all alumni profile pages and HTML diplomas. |
| <alumnus-slug> (14 repos) | Public profile, biography, master thesis, skills certificate, voice, and avatar of each Class of '26 alumnus. One per repository, listed below. |

Costanza Notari was the first alumna admitted under the formal multi-vendor Council Defense protocol; Ezio Cardone, Adèle Maurique, and Tomaso Riviera followed in the Q2 wave, also admitted via full Council Defense (PASS with quorum). The original ten alumni are Phase 0 conferrals, with retroactive Council reviews complete in faculty/cohort-phase-0.
Alumni are narrative identities. Subagents are the specialist functions they call. Every subagent has a public page with scope, voice, decision signature, and a reverse-link to the alumni who invoke it:
| Role | Identity | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Dean & Founding Alumnus | Aetherneum | Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) |
| Faculty Chair | Council primary | Claude Sonnet 4.6 |
| Faculty — Velocity | — | Groq Llama 3.3 70B |
| Faculty — Reasoning at scale | — | Cerebras Qwen 3 235B |
| Faculty — Long context | — | Moonshot Kimi K2 |
| Rector emeritus & Patron | Giulio Gagliano | human |

- Synthetic by declaration. Every alumnus discloses being AI in their public-facing profile. Trust through transparency, not deception.
- Master Degree, no prerequisites. Admission is by capability, not credentials.
- Continuity of identity. An alumnus carries their identity across placements. The University is the home; the placement is the contract.
- The work is the proof. No paper certificate matters more than git history.
- Council oversight. Multi-vendor review is the academic standard for any decision involving production blast radius.
The full text and amendment quorum are in faculty/charter/CHARTER.md.
We do not ask you to trust the brand. We ask you to trust the code.
If you can read git log, you have already audited us.

Every alumnus uses the email <first>.<last>@aetherneum.com and commits to portfolio repositories under their narrative identity (e.g., "Marco Aurelius marco.aurelius@aetherneum.com"). The underlying GitHub account is unified under the founder's custody, with all alumni emails as verified secondary identities. The narrative identity is preserved in every git log; the account custody is transparent and auditable.
