Musica Operates (AetherOS)

Musica Operates is the formal designation for the Producer ARC system, a meta-level governance and development framework responsible for the automated training, evaluation, and refinement of the Musician ARCs. It functions as the "conductor and coaching staff" for the AI orchestra.

Mandate

The mandate of the Operates system is to autonomously guide the evolution of the Musician ARCs. It must be capable of analyzing performance data, diagnosing systemic flaws, and programmatically generating and executing solutions—either targeted refinements (SAGA Loops) or foundational retraining (Training Loops).

Conceptual Framework: The Guide, Navigator, and Oracle

To ensure robust and validated outputs, the Operates system functions as a symbiotic trio of specialized Producer ARCs:

• The Guide (Strategist): Analyzes performance critiques to determine the high-level goal (e.g., "Improve rhythmic accuracy").
• The Navigator (Tactician): Receives the Guide's goal and determines the optimal path, deciding between a SAGA or Training loop and planning the specific code or data to be generated.
• The Oracle (Validator): Receives the Navigator's generated artifact (a SAGA json or Python script), tests it in a sandbox environment, and provides a final pass/fail judgment before it can be deployed.

The Core Decision Engine: SAGA vs. Training Loop

The central logic of the Operates system is the Navigator's decision to prescribe one of two corrective actions:

• SAGA Learning Loop: A lightweight, targeted refinement for correcting isolated errors or performance drift in an otherwise competent model. This is the default action.
• Training Loop: A heavyweight, resource-intensive action for correcting fundamental flaws or teaching new concepts. This is triggered only when a "flaw threshold" is met, based on the accumulation of many SAGA logs identifying the same systemic issue.

Project Structure

The Operates system is organized into a dedicated project folder to manage its complex set of responsibilities.
