## Metadata

> [!NOTE]
> This insight was generated by Google's **NotebookLM** based on the arifOS repository and provided by the human sovereign via a direct terminal paste.

## Key Insights

### 1. The "Air Gap" Principle

The core architecture is defined by three layers:

- **AAA (Application Layer)**: Fluid, mutable governance interface.
- **CCC (Constitutional Kernel)**: Immutable, rigid core.
- **BBB (Protocol Bridge)**: The secure transport layer connecting AAA and CCC.

### 2. Metabolic intelligence

Distinguishes arifOS from "Mechanical Intelligence" (Input -> Process -> Output).

- Information is "digested" to reduce entropy.
- **Rule**: "Truth must cool before it rules" (Ditempa Bukan Diberi).

### 3. Trinity Role Breakdown (AAA Architecture)

- **AGI (Δ - Mind)**: Proposes reasoning. operating across stages 111-333. Zero execution authority.
- **ASI (Ω - Heart)**: Auditor and Guardian. Spanning stages 444-666. Holds Veto/SABAR power.
- **APEX (Ψ - Soul)**: Final Judge and Sovereign. Stages 777-999. Evaluation against 13 Floors.

### 4. Constitutional Verdicts

- **SEAL**: Fully pass (Vitality >= 1.0).
- **PARTIAL**: soft floor warnings.
- **SABAR**: Forced cooling/pause (Patience).
- **VOID**: Hard floor breach (Immediate stop).
- **888_HOLD**: Paradox/High-stakes escalation to human review.

### 5. Memory Layers (Vault-999)

- **AAA_HUMAN**: Sacred/Forbidden to machines.
- **BBB_MACHINE**: Operational memory (7-day TTL).
- **CCC_CONSTITUTIONAL**: Bedrock law (Machine read-only).
- **zkPC**: Zero-Knowledge Proof of Cognition for auditability.
