It&rsquo;s a four-layer stack, and each layer maps loosely onto a piece of a brain — which turns out to be a genuinely useful way to keep the responsibilities separate.</p> https://killercatfish.com/hkos/gossip/ Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://killercatfish.com/hkos/gossip/ <!-- Dropped from hkos_gossip_protocol.html: - All CSS/JS, including the animated canvas background — pure presentation. - The SVG topology diagram markup — replaced with a prose description of the same mesh. - The "Node N · future" ghost node — decorative placeholder in the diagram, carries no information beyond "more peers later," which the prose already says. - Footnote link to the sibling cortex_architecture.html static file — replaced with a reference to the public cortex page. --> <p>The gossip protocol is the federation layer of HKOS: the signaling layer between sovereign cortices. Each node in the system runs its own full cortex stack — its own ground-truth BIOS, its own memory, its own local model (see the cortex page for that architecture). There is no shared substrate and no central authority. Each node thinks alone — and speaks.</p>
