A whole IT department,
on one machine you own.
This is the anatomy of an autonomous estate: 63 parts
in 13 organs — identity, memory, knowledge, senses and agents —
every part free and open-source, every byte on hardware you control, every action
audited. Touch an organ to see what lives there. The machine itself stays
anonymous, by design.
The Gatehouse
Access is decided in one place.
what lives here — 4 parts
- a private corridor home, from anywhere
- an identity that can speak to the open social web

- one door for every room — who you are is decided once
The Spine
The estate governs and audits itself.
what lives here — 5 parts
- a guided terminal for guests
- a quiet bridge between the runs and the records
- one desk from which the whole estate is seen

- the engine room's control panel
The Memory
Everything remembered lives here, at home.
what lives here — 3 parts

The Vault
Secrets are kept, never scattered.
what lives here — 2 parts
- a personal vault for passwords and keys

The Keel
Copied nightly. Restore, proven.
what lives here — 3 parts

The Forge
Software made, tested and landed at home.
what lives here — 5 parts

Business runs on its own books.

The system watches itself.

The Wits
Autonomous minds with bounded hands.
what lives here — 5 parts

The Reflexes
Events become actions, on schedule.
what lives here — 4 parts
- the metronome every scheduled duty answers to
