Technical Architecture

IGLOO is engineered from first principles in mathematics, philosophy, and physics to provide deterministic cognitive runtime

System Overview

Deterministic cognitive runtime with separated execution, learning, and persistence layers

Core Components

Specialized systems working together to provide deterministic cognition

Deterministic Kernel

The core runtime that executes cognitive operations with guaranteed determinism.

  • No RNG in cognition paths
  • No wallclock dependencies
  • Explicit state management
  • Event-driven execution

Linguistic Bank

Persistent storage for stable language primitives and structures.

  • Recurring linguistic forms
  • Domain vocabulary
  • Stable phrase structures
  • No raw text corpora storage

Reasoning Bank

Persistent reasoning patterns and validated inference templates.

  • Reusable reasoning scaffolds
  • Validated inference shapes
  • Problem-solving templates
  • Explicit reasoning traces

Synapse Bank

Deterministic relationship memory with event-sourced connections.

  • Connection reliability tracking
  • Hardening state management
  • Reinforcement history
  • Append-only event storage

Assembly Bank

Ephemeral runtime scaffolding for temporary cognitive structures.

  • Task-shaped structure assembly
  • Ephemeral execution context
  • Automatic dismantling
  • No automatic persistence

Compiler Boundary

Offline promotion system for validated cognitive artifacts.

  • Offline compilation process
  • ISV-gated promotion
  • Validated artifact storage
  • No runtime self-modification

Assembly to Compilation Pipeline

The heart of controlled learning: from ephemeral assembly to persistent compilation

Pipeline Event Log

[00:00:00] Pipeline initialized
[00:00:01] Ephemeral assembly started

[00:00:03] Events logged to append-only storage
[00:00:04] Abstraction detection triggered
[00:00:05] Repetition pattern identified
[00:00:06] Assembly candidate emitted
[00:00:07] Task completed, structure dismantled
[00:00:08] Offline compiler initiated
[00:00:09] ISV validation passed
[00:00:10] Artifact compiled successfully
[00:00:11] Compiled bank updated
[00:00:12] Next boot will load compiled artifacts
