Nomos OS Architecture
Nomos OS is engineered on the Dual-Core State Machine (Substrate Core vs. Intent Core). It establishes an inverted control flow where a compiled Go engine executes deterministic state transitions, invoking the LLM strictly as a bounded cognitive coprocessor.
🏛️ The Three Architectural Planes
📚 Core Architecture Specifications
| Specification | Description |
|---|---|
| DAG Task Engine | Deterministic task DAG orchestration, heuristic cycle bundling, dynamic auto-remediation, and 2PC merge mechanics. |
| Dual-Core Engine (Substrate vs. Intent) | Inverted control flow, deterministic cognitive scaffolding, and the physical totem inception paradigm. |
| Dual-Tier AI Operating System | Tier 1 (AGY-IDE) vs. Tier 2 (Nomos Code) governance, >90% Go code reusability, and Phase Discipline invariants. |
| Transient Worktree Sandboxing | AST pre-commit isolation, dynamic go.work multi-repo stitching, and zero-leak release lifecycle. |
| The 39 DoD Quality Gates | Direct Go-native AST verification of cyclomatic complexity, docstring density, import boundaries, and phase discipline. |
