Architecture

How Open Nexus works, and how we keep it honest. A small RISC-V microkernel. Thin service daemons over safe, host-tested libraries. Security expressed in the architecture itself, rather than added on top. These pages are a curated entry point; the complete, line-level reference lives in the source. Read them in order, or start wherever your curiosity does.

Overview

The mental model — three tiers, and the one boundary that matters.

The NEURON Kernel

The microkernel we keep deliberately small.

Services & Userspace

Thin daemons, safe libraries, and the line between them.

How We Prove It

How a claim becomes something you can re-run.

Codebase Map

Where everything lives in the source tree.
