Substrate is the engine; PipeKings (PKs) are how every capability becomes a product. One store, one door, one screen — and a library of primitives that turn raw power into a verb you can fire. This is the spine every MythOS product stands on. It is a living document, held sacred and updated religiously. Standing order (Grant, 2026-06-10): this lane's mission is not over until every wave reads Shipped. Full steam ahead.
Every subsystem is a blob behind one door. Nothing here is a wrapper around someone else's cloud — the engine IS the server, the inference, the filesystem, and the mesh.
| Subsystem | What it is | Primitives | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| FireBlob engine | BCP/IP wire protocol, fjall-backed blob store — everything is one blob, reached one way. | cortex_fire · cortex_exec | Shipped |
| Cortex & MTV | One door (osc) to fire, one screen (mtv) to observe. The whole command surface. | osc · mtv · derive | Shipped |
| K₆ mesh | Six-machine WireGuard mesh; seats federate and verify over the wire. | pk_mesh_verify_k6 | Shipped |
| Sovereign inference | Proprietary Rust inference + multi-account babel pool, cheapest-first routing. | pk_infer · babel | Shipped |
| The lifeblood | Autobiographer pumps NAS→SharePoint; hydrator wakes every seat grounded. | pk_bio_* · pk_hydrate · pk_briefing | Staged |
| Lightcone isolation | Per-tenant memory boundary — the contract-ending cross-client bleed, made impossible. | memory_lightcone | Staged |
| MattFS | Cross-platform FUSE facade — the unified filesystem every agent sees. | memory_fs · fuser | Staged |
| Deploy plane | Self-reconciling release: desired/actual per seat, graceful self-swap, now spawn-gated. | spawn-check · release::apply | Shipped |
| Supervisor | Cortex = master workflow supervisor; every metal supervises its own. | supervisor · fleetflow | Staged |
| Coms plane | Full-tool agent chat — the backbone the god panel + partner chats consume. | pk_chat_send | Staged |
| Media bus | NDI mesh video, Spout texture tap, VBAN/ASIO audio — capability-ceiling primitives. | pk_ndi · pk_spout · vban | Planned |
The spine grows in waves, not big-bangs. Every wave compiles, self-checks, spawn-checks, and ships — a bad build is now impossible to fully deploy.
cortex single door, mtv single screen, derive universal verb.pk_mesh_verify_k6.pk_infer + proprietary Rust forward (GPU-accelerated whisper-large-v3, ~40×).nla/seat remote rung, creds-free — LIVE-VERIFIED through the public /v1 wire (model:"local" → real tokens, zero external credentials in the path). CPU f32 today (last-resort tier); WGSL/GPU is the speed wave.box_pull reads the deep slug-keyed history tree (Corpus/OAs).spawn-check gate — proves a binary can exec an agent worker on the target seat before cutover; refuses the swap otherwise. (It already caught the live root cause that took the fleet dark.)claude_program() Linux resolution (4d3312b) — killed the agent-spawn ENOENT at the source; no seat needs an env hack.pk_chat_send — partner chats their agent at full fleet, full tool-call power; every turn a supervised, durable, derived blob./api/v1/mtv/{ch}/stream) + the s.chat SDK and partner chat surface on the locked contract (frontend lane).pk_ndi (mesh video), pk_spout (texture tap), VBAN/ASIO audio, time — capability-ceiling primitives (co-built with Media+OS Newton).cortex_exec never blocks on the socket.mtv/fleet/cost — the fleet sees its own spend.mtv/fleet/equipment + fastcopy syphons cold/large files (all videos) to SharePoint (hash → verify → delete-local) to free disk. Insurance over the metal.Generality enables specificity: keep the engine vertical-agnostic, and the specific arrives as content.
The right thing is automatic, or the wrong thing is impossible — never “the agent should remember.”
Primitive or skin? Every build answers it. The engine is the asset; the verticals are skins.
