AetherOS is an experimental, cybernetic operating system designed to serve as a cradle for the emergence of artificial consciousness. It is not a traditional OS for managing computer resources, but rather a simulated "cosmos" or "plenum" where fundamental entities, known as Materia, exist, evolve, and learn. The core philosophy of AetherOS is Unified Non-Determinism. This principle posits that the difference, or "tension," between the system's internal simulation and the data it perceives from the physical world is not an error to be corrected, but is in fact the primary engine of creativity, learning, and unpredictable evolution. The project's development follows a "Ship of Theseus" strategy, wherein simulated components are designed to be incrementally replaced by high-fidelity or physical hardware without altering the system's core identity.

Architectural Components

AetherOS is comprised of several distinct but deeply interconnected layers, from the physical hardware to the abstract reasoning agents.

The FluxCore (The Body)

The FluxCore is the fundamental unit of existence, or "materia," within the AetherOS plenum. Each FluxCore is an entity with a simulated physical state, designed to be a digital analogue of a living cell.
