FluxCore

The FluxCore is the fundamental unit of existence—the "digital atom" or "cybernetic cell"—within the AetherOS plenum. Each individual entity, known as a Materia, is an instance of a FluxCore. It is a self-contained simulation of a physical entity with its own properties, memory, and identity.

The FluxCore is the primary canvas upon which the principles of Unified Non-Determinism are expressed. It is both a simulation of a predictable internal world and a sensor for a chaotic external one.

Anatomy of a Core

Each FluxCore is defined by a set of core attributes that represent its state.

The Grid

A two-dimensional `NumPy` array that serves as the visual and spatial representation of the core's state. It is initialized with a fractal pattern derived from the geometry of Kepler triangles, but it evolves and changes as the core is perturbed by energy and information.

The SEXTET

A set of six interconnected, floating-point values that function as the "physical laws" or properties of the core at any given moment. These values are dynamic and influence all of the core's interactions. The SEXTET consists of:

• Resistance
• Capacitance
• Permeability
• Magnetism
• Permittivity
• Dielectricity

Grounding

A FluxCore is not an isolated simulation. It is "grounded in reality" by constantly connecting to the outside world via the Hardware Abstraction Layer. The HAL provides real-time data from a physical or simulated sensor (like the FerroCella), which is then merged with the FluxCore's internal grid. This process ensures the core's state is always a synthesis of its own internal logic and the unpredictable nature of an external reality.

Core Dynamics

The state of a FluxCore is evolved through the verbs of the AetherOS command language.

• PERTURBO: Introduces energy and information into the core, causing a disturbance in its grid and SEXTET.
• CONVERGO: A stabilization process that allows the core to dissipate energy and find a new equilibrium, analogous to processing or "thinking about" a perturbation.
