System Architecture Overview
High-level abstraction layers and interaction patterns for governed digital organisms
Purpose
The LSI architecture provides a structured framework for understanding how autonomous agents interact with governance layers, execution boundaries, and observability systems.
This architecture enables organizations to deploy autonomous systems while maintaining strict control over behavior, ensuring compliance, and providing comprehensive observability for operational transparency.
How It Works
Abstraction Layers
The LSI architecture implements a hierarchical abstraction: cells (agents) form tissues (agent groups), which compose organs (functional systems), within complete organisms (organizational deployments).
Each layer maintains its own governance policies, observability boundaries, and execution constraints, enabling fine-grained control while preserving system-wide coherence.
Interaction Patterns
Autonomous agents interact with governance layers through defined interfaces. Policy enforcement occurs at execution boundaries, ensuring that agents cannot exceed their allocated resources or violate compliance requirements.
Communication between cells occurs through signed, monitored channels that maintain audit trails and enable root cause analysis.
Execution Boundaries
Every agent execution occurs within defined boundaries that enforce resource limits, policy compliance, and security constraints. These boundaries are signed and verified at runtime.
Compliance surfaces are integrated at every layer, ensuring that regulatory requirements are met automatically without requiring manual intervention.
Observability and Monitoring Flows
Continuous telemetry flows from cells through tissues and organs to the observability layer. This enables real-time monitoring, root cause analysis, and compliance reporting.
All system events are logged, traced, and analyzed, providing complete operational transparency and enabling rapid incident response.
Capabilities
Layered Governance
Policy enforcement at multiple abstraction levels, from individual cells to complete organisms, ensuring consistent governance across the system.
Boundary Enforcement
Runtime verification of execution boundaries, resource limits, and security constraints, preventing policy violations before they occur.
System-Wide Observability
Comprehensive monitoring and tracing across all layers, enabling root cause analysis, compliance reporting, and operational transparency.
Compliance Integration
Built-in compliance surfaces that automatically align with regulatory requirements, reducing compliance risk and accelerating procurement.
Outcomes
The LSI architecture enables organizations to deploy autonomous systems with controlled autonomy, traceability, compliance alignment, and reduced operational risk.
