System · the relay, it governs
Thalamus
One place to tune the whole system.
Every product parameter (models, modes, grounding, voice) defined once, resolved per consumer, and audited on every change. No redeploy to change behaviour.
In active developmentHow it flows
- Defined once, resolved per system.
- Every change logged: who, when, old → new.
- Consumers fail open: they keep working if it is unreachable.
How it fits
Feeds live configuration to Cortex, Lens, Larynx and Pharynx.
Under the hood
One dial board for the whole system.
Every product parameter is defined once in a typed registry, resolved per consumer, and audited on every change. Definitions ship with the code; values live in a small store.
How a value resolves
An explicit override always beats a mode, which beats the default; the UI shows which one won, so precedence is visible instead of a surprise.
How consumers read it
Each consumer checks its own settings; if nothing changed, the answer is tiny. Every check doubles as a heartbeat, so Thalamus knows who is actually wired.
The rest of the constellation
This is one part of a system built to keep one promise: every answer is grounded and permission-aware, or it doesn’t come at all.
