D-COS NEXUS

The D-COS NEXUS ecosystem

An integrated architecture in which identity, memory, security and operating capabilities share the same trust core.

Manifesto

Manifesto

Four founding principles govern the MASTER architecture. For each one, the documentation states how far the current code realises it.

Cognition is persistent. Computation is migratable. Embodiment is interchangeable. Safety is local.

01
Cognition is persistent.

Knowledge, decisions and context survive restarts and move with the user.

Knowledge store and memories in DICOS_HOME, encrypted at rest by the vault; versioned knowledge graph (M32).

02
Computation is migratable.

Work can move between devices.

Run export and import with integrity hashes; resource mesh and placement advice (M34). Authentication and encryption of a migrated run are left to future mesh adapters.

03
Embodiment is interchangeable.

The same cognition can drive different bodies and devices.

Hardware modules with a common driver port, simulated drivers by default, hot-plug attribution of real devices.

04
Safety is local.

Protection never depends on a remote service or on payment.

Protection functions are base or always active (M01, M17 level A, M26 countermeasures, M31 self-healing); Zero-Trust and the permission ceiling are enforced locally.

The motto expresses a design philosophy and an architectural direction. The capabilities actually available today are described, module by module, in the Architecture section.

The six technology pillars

Transparency note: the project documentation defines five ontological pillars (identity, memory, goals, temporal world model, interchangeable bodies) and a product taxonomy of four macro-areas plus system utilities. The six pillars shown here are an editorial classification grouping the 36 modules by purpose; they do not replace the official classifications, which remain available in the Architecture filters.

01 · 4 modules

Trust & Integrity

Every component starts from a trust core: signed licences, verifiable releases, tamper-evident logs.

Goal: Make what the system is, and what it did, verifiable.

Related functions:

  • Root of Trust and supervision (M01)
  • Ed25519 signatures and SHA-256 fingerprints
  • Chained forensic log

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Cognition, Memory & Time, Cyber Defence & Resilience, Business & Productivity

02 · 4 modules

Cognition, Memory & Time

Cognitive continuity: persistent memory with provenance, causal timeline, reproducible knowledge.

Goal: Keep knowledge persistent and traceable over time.

Related functions:

  • Three-level memory and knowledge graph
  • Chronos engine
  • Reproducible scientific computation

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Trust & Integrity, Intelligence & Situational Awareness, Business & Productivity

03 · 6 modules

Cyber Defence & Resilience

Local, defensive security: diagnostics, game theory, network resilience, institutional authorisation.

Goal: Protect locally and act only with authorisation.

Related functions:

  • Host diagnostics and threat intelligence
  • Mesh resilience
  • Level-based authorisation

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Trust & Integrity, Intelligence & Situational Awareness, Interchangeable Bodies & Edge

04 · 6 modules

Intelligence & Situational Awareness

Understanding context: geospatial data, open sources, aerospace, naval and radio domains.

Goal: Turn open and supplied data into knowledge with provenance.

Related functions:

  • GEOINT and satellites from public data
  • OSINT with provenance
  • Domain simulations

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Cognition, Memory & Time, Cyber Defence & Resilience, Interchangeable Bodies & Edge

05 · 7 modules

Interchangeable Bodies & Edge

The same core can inhabit different devices: PC, home, sensors, peripherals. Computation moves where it is needed.

Goal: Decouple logic from hardware through ports and adapters.

Related functions:

  • Telemetry and sensors
  • Permission-based smart home
  • Edge resource optimisation

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Cyber Defence & Resilience, Intelligence & Situational Awareness, Business & Productivity

06 · 9 modules

Business & Productivity

Operating capabilities for work and enterprise: office, finance, logistics, growth, design, careers.

Goal: Support concrete decisions with deterministic, verifiable computation.

Related functions:

  • Office & finance with human confirmation
  • Logistics and real estate
  • Commercial analytics and campaigns

Modules involved:

Relations with other pillars: Trust & Integrity, Cognition, Memory & Time, Interchangeable Bodies & Edge

The layers of the architecture

From the project's architecture map: every request goes through well-defined layers, from the user interface down to local, edge or cloud compute.

The five ontological pillars (official core classification)

  • Persistent identity
  • Persistent memory
  • Persistent goals
  • Temporal world model (Chronos)
  • Interchangeable bodies
User appsDesktop, Android, web and voice.
Identity, consent, permissions, auditWho asks, with which permissions, with which trace.
Intent & autonomyGoals, plans, runs and recovery.
Cognitive coreMemory, user model and world model.
Capability contracts & module registryStable interfaces between the 36 modules.
Runtime, policy, safety, execution boundaryWhere it is decided what may run.
AdaptersPC, phone, home, sensors and peripherals.
Local / edge / cloud compute & Zero-Trust meshWhere the work is actually done.
