Overview¶
The stack¶
AAAX, short for Advanced Autonomous Agentic ICS — Information and Computing Services, is the kernel layer for autonomous information and computing services:
SSSNis the network substrate.LLLMis the default LibOS.AAAXis the governance and lifecycle kernel.
Why AAAX is separate¶
If you push governance directly into sssn, the network substrate stops being simple. If you push it directly into lllm, the runtime layer stops being general. AAAX preserves both lower abstractions and adds the missing operating contract above them.
AAAX as a kernel, not a framework replacement¶
AAAX is responsible for:
- deciding which modules may dock
- determining which resources are capability-mediated
- authorizing side-effect requests
- coordinating module lifecycle
- standardizing how applications talk to the default LibOS
AAAX is not responsible for:
- redefining SSSN channel or transport behavior
- redefining LLLM package semantics
- providing hard local sandboxing by itself
- turning the kernel into a separately publishable artifact apart from the running application constellation
Stability strategy¶
AAAX treats sssn and lllm as upstream frameworks with explicit contracts:
- prefer public APIs and adapters over internal imports
- force deterministic LLLM boot
- describe SSSN local security honestly as topology-based
- keep AAAX’s public contract at the kernel layer so framework changes stay behind the bridge
That is what allows AAAX to be the application contract even while the lower frameworks continue to evolve.
