Architecture

Six layers, ten subsystems.

Higher layers depend on lower ones. The meta layer schedules; the agent layer chooses; the social layer mediates trust and perception; the substrate provides matter and life; the physics layer imposes constraints. One wire ties them all together.

meta
Meta
Ⅰcivos-civilization-os
Civilization OS
The macro civilization model. Population, energy, knowledge, coordination — modeled as one running system.
Ⅸcycle-engine
Cycle Engine
Civilizations and systems pass through phases. Cycle Engine identifies the phase you're in.
agent
Agent
Ⅷdecision-os
Decision OS
Game theory + AI + economics fused into a unified agent-decision substrate.
Ⅱcivos-idea-evolution
Idea Evolution
Memetics as evolutionary substrate. Ideas are organisms; minds are habitats; narratives are species.
social
Social
Ⅴcivos-clan-civilization
Clan Civilization
Trust networks at the kinship and lineage scale — the substrate institutions are built on top of.
Ⅵsensory-os
Sensory OS
Perception as construction. The brain doesn't see; it predicts.
subst
Substrate
Ⅲcivos-material-civilization
Material Civilization
Atoms → energy → materials → tools → industry → power. Civilization is what its hardest material allows.
Ⅹlife-os
Life OS
Biological computation as a stack: cells → tissues → brains → bodies → populations.
phys
Physics
Ⅶreality-kernel
Reality Kernel
The physics layer beneath everything. Energy, information, computation as universal substrate.
wire
Wire
Ⅳpsy-protocol-spec
Psy Protocol Spec
The distributed coordination layer beneath the ecosystem — realms, coordinators, state, attestations.
Data flow (bottom-up)
  1. 01

    reality-kernel imposes hard constraints (thermodynamics, Landauer bound, holography).

  2. 02

    life-os + material-civilization produce living and material capability under those constraints — population, energy, material stack.

  3. 03

    sensory-os + clan-civilization fold substrate facts into each agent's interior world — perception and trust.

  4. 04

    decision-os + idea-evolution convert perception and trust into choices and their propagation.

  5. 05

    civilization-os reconciles all of this on the civilizational ledger — cycle-engine stamps the whole thing with a phase.

  6. 06

    psy-protocol-spec carries every cross-layer exchange beneath all of this — proofs, state roots, coordinators.
