CORTA

The CORTA framework (Cognitive Oversight, Reliability, Traceability, and Auditability) is designed to operationalise trust, embed resilience, and ensure dynamic compliance across highly autonomous, self-evolving systems. Each component of CORTA interlocks to create a holistic framework capable of maintaining system integrity, fostering stakeholder confidence, and meeting rigorous regulatory requirements.

Risk Core

TACED (Transparency, Auditability, Controllability, Explainability, Decision Provenance) is Luminary's comprehensive security and governance framework for responsible AI development and deployment.

Execution System

Advanced neural framework that enables distributed reasoning and collective intelligence across all COGs in the system, with seamless connection between short-term processing and long-term institutional knowledge, allowing for consistent decision-making

→

An organisational paradigm where autonomous AI agents possess agency—the capacity to perceive, interpret, decide, learn, collaborate, and act independently to achieve complex goals, moving beyond simple automation.

The Luminary Codex

The Neural Operating System

The Neural Operating System (NOS) is the connective tissue of the Luminary Codex. It coordinates the Cognitive Operating Governors (COGs), ensuring that opposition, reasoning, and constitutional checks flow seamlessly across the system. Think of it as the governance nervous system — binding the Codex, GUARDIAN, and the wider governance stack into a single, coherent intelligence. Unlike a conventional “operating system,” NOS doesn’t manage hardware or software. It manages governance signals: dissent, veto, verification, and consensus. This is what makes Luminary’s Synthetic Intelligence live, traceable, and opposable — every process is synchronised, every decision is accountable.

Synthetic Intelligence is not artificial intelligence. AI is a tool that predicts and performs; Synthetic Intelligence is cognition that can reason, oppose itself, and be held accountable.

The Luminary Codex is the world’s first Constitutional Governance Stack for Synthetic Intelligence — a law layer that binds intelligent systems to the Six Laws of Epistemic Opposition, enforced in real time by GUARDIAN and verified through ARG, PACED, and TACED. This stack governs not tools, but minds: synthetic minds capable of action, dissent, and lawful correction.

Just as the cloud redefined computing, Synthetic Intelligence redefines intelligence itself — governed, opposable, and auditable by design
