ADR-0001: Modular Cognitive Architecture

Status

Accepted

Context

P8OS requires separation between:

• cognition
• execution
• memory
• AI models
• user interface

A monolithic architecture prevents evolution.

Decision

The system will use layered architecture:

CBP-1
|
Thinking Layer
|
Memory Layer
|
Runtime
|
Execution
|
Tools

Each layer communicates through explicit contracts.

Alternatives

Monolith

Rejected.

Reason:

Low modularity.

Microservices

Rejected.

Reason:

Too much operational complexity.

Consequences

Positive:

• Independent evolution
• Better testing
• Replaceable components

Negative:

• More interfaces
• More documentation
