Architecture, the OSTVAL formal model, sensor reliability scoring, the Scene Contract, and the patent-pending validation envelope — in one technical brief.
The cognitive operating model: Observe · Structure · Think · Validate · Act · Learn. Stage-by-stage formalisation.
How VAOS scores reliability per stream — calibration drift, lighting, occlusion — and feeds it into inference confidence.
The machine-readable schema that exits perception. Validation envelope, versioning, and interop guarantees.
The α·Cs + β·Cm + γ·Ct + δ·Ch confidence model, threshold policy, and audit trail.
How sites learn themselves. Storage model, retention, and the no-cloud guarantee.
Latency budgets on RK3588 / Jetson / x86, multi-camera fusion benchmarks, deployment patterns.
