Layered Cognitive System

Cognitive Layer

High-level reasoning orchestration combining multiple strategies (CoT, ToT, MCTS) with complexity detection and adaptive routing. Manages cognitive workflows and decision pathways.

Memory Graph

Graph-based knowledge representation with semantic clustering, relationship tracking, and temporal memory consolidation. Provides persistent cognitive state across sessions.

Inference Pathway

Modular execution pipeline routing requests through specialized brain modules. Handles embeddings, generation, analysis, and synthesis with automatic dependency resolution.

Constraint Runtime

Embedded governance and safety envelopes. Enforces constraints, manages resource limits, and ensures reliable degradation under uncertainty.

State Management

Local-first persistence for conversations, memories, and cognitive context. Maintains continuity without external dependencies.

Observability & Metrics

Comprehensive telemetry, monitoring, and evaluation harness. Tracks performance, reliability, and cognitive quality in production.

Design Principles

Continuity Over Certainty

Cognitive systems preserve state and context across interactions. Memory is structured, not ephemeral. Reasoning builds on prior frames rather than starting fresh.

Explicit Constraints

Safety and governance are embedded architecturally, not added procedurally. Limits are explicit, responsibility is traceable, and behavior degrades gracefully.

Modular Composition

78+ specialized brain modules compose into cognitive workflows. Auto-discovery, dependency resolution, and isolated execution enable extensibility.

Local-First Execution

All cognitive operations run locally without cloud dependencies. Data sovereignty, inspectable behavior, and institutional control by design.
