RUNTIME FLOW

How a task moves through Aerius.

Aerius turns AI behavior into a coordinated runtime process rather than a hidden model-only response.

CORE FLOW

Runtime activation is conditional.

Not every task uses every module. Aerius activates modules according to task, context, evidence, risk, policy, domain need, and available resources. The sequence below shows a common activation path. Modules may be skipped, repeated, reordered, or re-entered depending on context, evidence, risk, policy, domain need, and available resources.

Numbering is for readability, not mandatory execution order.

Node 01

Input / Event / Source

A source, event, document, signal, or user request enters the architecture.

IISL

Node 02

IISL - Intake and Context Formation

Raw input becomes structured, provenance-aware context before model use.

IISLTrace

Node 03

COR - Observation Governance

Observation is governed by evidence need, intent, risk, privacy, authority, and resources.

CORPolicy

Node 04

CCO - Cognitive Orchestration

The task is routed through the cognitive architecture according to context and policy.

CCO

Node 05

PbR - Priority and Resource Allocation

Reasoning depth, urgency, confidence, risk, and resource budget are evaluated.

PbR

Node 06

Stack Brain - Reasoning Stack Coordination

One or more reasoning stacks are coordinated under orchestration and meta-level control.

Stack Brain

Node 07

COMS - Memory and Evidence Retrieval

Memory, evidence, prior traces, and as-of context are retrieved under governance.

COMS

Node 08

IMC / RCC - Identity and Relationship Context

Identity-bound and relationship-aware context activate only when relevant.

IMCRCC

Node 09

KEL / DCR - Knowledge and Domain Runtime

Validated knowledge or domain capsules may be bound into reasoning when domain context, protocols, or governed knowledge are needed.

KELDCR

Node 10

CPOR - Conditional Outcome Reuse

Prior cognitive outcomes may be reused early or during reasoning only when context, evidence, time, risk, and policy still match.

CPOR

Node 11

MRMI - Strategy Selection / Improvement

Reasoning strategies can be selected, evaluated, and improved without retraining the base model.

MRMI

Node 12

CEA - Cognitive-Emotional and Expression Shaping

Cognitive-affective state, uncertainty, ethics, and communication behavior are shaped.

CEA

Node 13

Intent Action - Output / Action Governance

Cognitive intent becomes response, action, human review request, or blocked action under constraints.

Intent Action

Node 14

Trace / Evidence / Policy / Human Review

Runtime behavior is recorded through traces, evidence records, policy gates, and review paths.

TraceEvidencePolicyHuman Review

NOT A PROMPT CHAIN

This is not a prompt chain.

Prompt chains pass text between steps. Aerius coordinates cognitive responsibilities across observation, memory, reasoning, domain runtime, reuse, policy, and action governance. The result is a system process that can be structured, traced, and governed.
