# contents

What's inside

The OSTVAL loop

The cognitive operating model: Observe · Structure · Think · Validate · Act · Learn. Stage-by-stage formalisation.

Sensor-aware perception

How VAOS scores reliability per stream — calibration drift, lighting, occlusion — and feeds it into inference confidence.

Scene Contract

The machine-readable schema that exits perception. Validation envelope, versioning, and interop guarantees.

Validation-gated action

The α·Cs + β·Cm + γ·Ct + δ·Ch confidence model, threshold policy, and audit trail.

Local persistent memory

How sites learn themselves. Storage model, retention, and the no-cloud guarantee.

Performance & hardware

Latency budgets on RK3588 / Jetson / x86, multi-camera fusion benchmarks, deployment patterns.
