The systems

One vocabulary of being — here is a thing, and here is the kind of thing it is — said the same way everywhere.

The value floor every system agrees on: a single uniform model of what data is, prior to logic, storage, or authority.

Reasoning that never asks to be trusted — every conclusion arrives with an account anyone can re-check.

logos works out what follows from the things ontos names, and admits only answers it can show.

The public pillar where signed facts are inscribed — every write admitted by law, every read gated by proof, nothing taken on trust.

stele is the append-only runtime for signed facts: it owns the store, the transport, and the wiring, and borrows everything else from the layers below.

Who may do what, answered as a proof anyone can re-check — never a claim you take on trust.

The authority contract for the stack — the law that derives "authorized" from a signed root through a chain of grants, as tri-core implementations anyone can re-verify byte-for-byte.

The law of form — what counts as a well-formed value of a kind, checked as a derivation anyone can re-check, never trusted.

horos is the constellation's types-and-schemas layer: a fixed constitution of form over logos that decides, totally and without search, whether a value conforms to a descriptor.

pointing, showing

the structure of a finite keyed tree, independent of what its leaves hold

the embeddable, theory-agnostic logic-database engine — an append-only signed-record store + hierarchical projection + a hosted certify/search drive-loop over ontos + logos, exposed as SearchAndCertify; ships the contract-only `logos-db-seam` + the `logos-db` engine (atlas ADR 0034; extracted from stele's engine lanes)

the ordered whole

the integration runtime over the substrate — resolves ID→Surface, enforces authority + shapes, and mediates authorized, validated connections; a custodial fluency lens that holds clients' keys so they hold nothing (atlas ADR 0029)

One look, spoken by every system in the family — tokens, marks, and a figure language that single-sources how the work appears and reads.

The shared visual vocabulary, the Svelte component library that speaks it, and the loupe toolchain that gates conformance.

The structure layer of the constellation — it knows which systems exist, how they depend on each other, and works to keep that picture from drifting away from the code.

atlas owns the shared structure — topology, cross-repo diagrams, the workflow scaffold, cross-cutting ADRs, and this site.

the benchmark harness — pins a published logos as subject-under-test and measures it across cores

the body of content the record addresses

a content provider — immutable content the record binds to by hash, addressed and re-checkable off-record; a connected service the integration runtime brokers (atlas ADR 0017/0018/0029)

photos, with full provenance

a photo-management web app with full AI-provenance — every original, generation, and edit recorded in an immutable provenance DAG; the family's first application consumer

the lighthouse over the fleet

the constellation control plane — a live dashboard for pipeline status, atlas-compliance, the tri-core version graph, drift, and (later) environment + deployment management

the substrate that runs durable, decoupled, movable agents

an agent runtime — a Go control plane + node daemon that spawns sealed agents over a bitagent network and mediates their lifecycle, with a run-edge auth plane (PoP-gated admission); a connected service the integration runtime brokers (atlas ADR 0029)
