The quantum threat is not theoretical. HNDL (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later) attacks are happening today, with intercepted encrypted data at risk when CRQCs emerge. Industry estimates: 1-in-7 chance by 2026, 1-in-2 chance by 2031, with RSA-2048 potentially breakable by 2030 (Q-Day/Y2Q).

AIOS

Autonomous Interoperable Operating System

AIOS is an integrated agent-native operating system combining three foundational technologies: autonomous runtime (AIOS core), cognitive data exchange protocol (CDEX), and self-evolving compute substrate (SILOX). It represents a paradigm shift from static, human-centric operating systems to living, AI-native compute infrastructure. AI agents run as first-class native processes with semantic IPC, shared cognitive memory fabric, and post-quantum cryptographic isolation. The system features structural plasticity through adaptive syscalls, continuous self-optimization that monitors and rewrites behavior in response to agent activity and threat surfaces, and cryptographically-governed evolution with reversible lineage and deterministic rollback. CDEX enables semantic interoperability between agents, allowing them to exchange intent, context, ontology, reasoning outputs, confidence maps, memory embeddings, and state of belief rather than raw data. SILOX provides the self-evolving substrate that rewires and optimizes itself over time, enabling autonomous infrastructure management, self-healing security, and emergent optimization beyond classical static computing. The entire stack enforces capability security, hardware attestation (Intel SGX, AMD SEV, ARM TrustZone), governed automation with runtime guards, and cryptographic proof artifacts for every system action.

NIOS

Neural-Interface Operating System

NIOS is a vision-focused neural interface operating system designed to bridge human cognition and AI agents through non-invasive neural signals and brain-computer interfaces. It represents the future of human-AI collaboration where intent, not commands, drives interaction. NIOS captures human cognitive signals—attention, intent, emotional state, decision patterns, and contextual awareness—via non-invasive sensors (EEG, fNIRS, eye tracking, biosignals) and translates them into semantic structures that AI agents can interpret and act upon. The system enables real-time co-working interfaces where humans and AI agents share execution context across applications: a human thinks about a task, NIOS captures the intent, routes it to the appropriate AI agent, and the agent executes while maintaining bidirectional feedback loops. NIOS operates as a neural co-working OS that eliminates the keyboard-mouse-screen bottleneck, enabling fluid thought-to-action workflows for knowledge work, creative tasks, research, and mission-critical operations. The architecture includes adaptive learning loops that improve intent recognition over time, verifiable semantic reasoning to ensure AI agents correctly interpret human intent, privacy-preserving neural data processing with on-device computation, and integration with AIOS for seamless agent orchestration. NIOS is positioned as a long-term research initiative exploring the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and human-computer interaction.
