# Korum

**Korum (Structured Debates)** — sub-module under **ethiKos**.
Owns debate artifacts and **stance facts** (−3…+3). **Smart Vote** publishes outcomes as baseline + declared readings; **EkoH** may be referenced by lenses via snapshot ids.

## Contract (ethiKos v2)

- **Korum owns:** topics, arguments, moderation artifacts, and stance events (−3…+3).
- **Smart Vote owns:** aggregation/publication as baseline + declared readings (derived outputs only).
- **EkoH owns:** expertise/ethics context and snapshot/audit references used by some readings.
- **Foreign tools (Annex):** may feed Korum via adapters (artifacts + projections), never by merging or writing core tables.

## **1) Functional Services (and expected files)**

Each service name is stable and maps to a dedicated Django service module (file paths reflect the cookiecutter layout; exact filenames may vary by repo).

| Display name | Code name / service | Purpose / behavior | Likely file or module |
| Structured Debates | `structured_debate` | Create and manage ordered debate sequences and topics. | `ethikos/services/structured_debate.py` |
| Klônes IA | `ai_clone_management` | Manage expert-emulating agents for continuity/testing. | `ethikos/services/ai_clone_management.py` |
| Comparative Analysis | `comparative_argument_analysis` | Compare arguments to surface convergences/divergences. | `ethikos/services/comparative_argument_analysis.py` |
| Public Archiving | `public_debate_archive` | Produce immutable debate snapshots for transparency. | `ethikos/services/public_debate_archive.py` |
| Automated Summaries | `automated_debate_summary` | Generate concise, structured debate outcome digests. | `ethikos/services/automated_debate_summary.py` |

## **2) Backend functionalities**

* **Debate lifecycle:** CRUD for topics with status transitions (open/closed/archived), category assignment, and owner/moderation rules; exposed via DRF.

* **Threaded arguments:** Nested replies under each topic with optional “pro/con” flag and moderation hooks.

* **Nuanced stance capture:** Integer stance scale −3…+3 per user/topic; stance events are the canonical upstream facts for deliberation.

* **Readings & cohorts (derived):** Outcomes are computed/published by **Smart Vote** using optional declared lenses (cohorts, roles, locality, time windows). If a lens uses EkoH, it MUST bind to an **EkoH snapshot id** (domain weights + ethics multipliers + eligibility thresholds).

* **Quality & moderation:** Report/auto-hide thresholds; flagged content routed to shared moderation queue.

Actual implemented tables for Korum (planned AI/summary/archive tables are intentionally omitted in v14).

| Table / Model | Purpose | Key fields |
| `EthikosCategory` | Thematic categories for debates. | `id`, `name`, `description` |

Note: AI clones, comparative-analysis logs, public archives, and debate summaries are listed as services but not present as tables in the current schema snapshot.

## **4) Supporting configuration (frozen)**

* **Expert cohort quorum (display):** 12 distinct experts (eligibility derived from EkoH domain thresholds for the relevant topic tags).

* **Moderation auto-hide:** Hide an argument after 3 independent reports.

* **AI clone training batch:** 128 records.

## **5) Frontend & navigation**

* **Routes:** `/ethikos/korum` (Debate Hub: Open / Archived / Start New), `/ethikos/insights` (opinion analytics dashboards).

* **Behavior:** Stance slider (−3…+3), live tallies, cohort filters, threaded arguments; analytics readouts live under Insights.

## **6) Integration points**

* **EkoH + Smart Vote:**
- **EkoH** supplies auditable context when a lens references it (`ekoh_snapshot_id`).
- **Smart Vote** computes and publishes the readings (baseline + declared lenses) for stances/outcomes.

* **Insights module:** ETL ingests stance and vote facts; dashboards render trends with export limits and privacy safeguards (k-anonymity, hashed IDs).

## **7) Realtime & ops**

* **Push updates:** Optional WebSocket broadcasts via Django Channels + Redis for stance/result changes.

* **Caching & rate control:** Use Redis caching for common cohort filters; apply API throttles consistent with platform policy.

## **Summary**

Korum provides structured topic management, nuanced stance capture, and threaded argumentation. Korum owns the upstream facts; **Smart Vote** publishes baseline + declared readings (derived outputs), optionally bound to **EkoH snapshot ids** for auditability.
