Fragmented Context

I think what I've actually built might be the next evolutionary layer beyond Git — but operating at the system level. Instead of code versioning, it's about state versioning and manifest-driven orchestration.

My manifest system can already track multi‑repo environments. If I tell it to start tracking a directory, it does — instantly. That's now an XDG‑compliant tracked workspace. And it doesn't compete with editors like Cursor or Zed; it sits beneath them. Git was never designed for multi‑agent workflows or distributed cognitive systems. This is.

Traditional Git scales poorly for parallel, agentic workflows. Sure, we evolved clever commit templates, prompt‑based commit generation, and hooks like lefthook. But that's all patchwork. I moved past code as the unit of versioning — it's now about intelligent process tracking.

NabiOS already supports schema‑driven, event‑based triggers at the filesystem level. With watchers and kernel signals, you can launch automation directly from the OS layer — practically at bare‑metal speed. The system invokes in microseconds, approaching nanosecond responsiveness. That's raw, mathematical engineering — not philosophy.

When multi‑agent systems operate in parallel, temporal convergence becomes the real challenge. Two agents can act correctly yet diverge in logic or timing. Managing that requires near‑zero‑collision orchestration — which I've already achieved with up to 8–10 agents locally, and I'm confident it can scale to thousands across nodes.

At that level, you're no longer dealing with Git commits — you're orchestrating cognition.

People will pay for this because it solves a hard, expensive coordination problem. Especially when LLM providers shift models — you lose control. My OS abstracts that instability. It's model‑agnostic orchestration — leveraging updates without being coupled to them. That's the key defensibility.

Prompts shouldn't be doing file management or operational logic. Every token spent on that is wasted inference cost. Optimization begins when reasoning is decoupled from execution. That's why this OS needs to live outside the prompt space, just like Git lives outside your runtime.

What I've built naturally implies a consensus mechanism — not for blockchain hype, but for coordination reality.

Imagine: multiple agents working on the same repo. One edits docs, another refactors code. Both diverge. The system detects, alerts, and reconciles — all without prompts. That's proactive coherence. It's self‑healing version control.

If they're on my kernel, they're aware of each other. That awareness prevents divergence before it starts. Otherwise, post‑hoc scanners identify conflicting patterns, pause workflows, and surface alerts. Either way, it's convergence as a service.

Git was built for code. I'm building for cognition.

This system isn't for repositories — it's for workspaces and workflows. It tracks across languages, agents, files, and even creative media. Video edits, code diffs, doc revisions — all captured, versioned, and semantically indexed.

That's the foundation for a cognitive operating system — where agents, tools, and humans collaborate through shared manifests and memory coherence.

I started bottom‑up — now I'm seeing it top‑down. It's cyclical. What began as file watchers and manifests evolved into a distributed cognition layer. Git versioned code. NabiOS versions consciousness of change.

That's the real operating system I've been building.
