AGIF Fabric v1: A Bounded, Governed Multi-Cell Software Fabric for Local Adaptive Workflows

AGIF Fabric v1 presents a bounded, governed multi-cell software architecture for local adaptive workflows. This work positions AGIF v1 as an empirical software proof that specialized cells, tissues, shared workspace coordination, descriptor exchange, bounded adaptation, and governed memory can improve structured workflow performance under resource-sovereign constraints. The paper documents the architecture, benchmark design, falsification criteria, quantitative results, long-run evidence, limitations, and reproducibility path. The proof is intentionally bounded to document and workflow intelligence, with primary evaluation in finance document processing and supporting governed transfer evidence in a second POS domain. A reproducible demonstration that a local, auditable, policy-bounded intelligence fabric can coordinate, adapt, and retain useful knowledge under explicit control.
