Foundations
§1
Core Concepts
The Lethal Interval, Endogenous Resilience, the biological metaphor
(reflex arc as architectural pattern), and how HOSA positions itself
relative to existing tools and kernel mechanisms.
§2
Architecture
The perceptive-motor cycle, eBPF sensory probes in kernel space,
the predictive cortex in user space, hardware proprioception,
warm-up calibration, and the five non-negotiable design principles.
Mathematical Framework
§3
Mathematical Model
Mahalanobis Distance as anomaly detector, Welford incremental
covariance updates, EWMA smoothing, temporal derivatives, robustness
under non-normality, Load Direction Index, and the bipolar regime
classification matrix.
Behavior & Response
§4
Response System
The six-level graduated response (Level 0–5), from homeostasis
through vigilance, containment, severe containment, and autonomous
quarantine. Throttling policy, safelist, quarantine modes by
environment class, and the Thalamic Filter.
§5
Habituation
Neuroplasticity-inspired baseline recalibration. Formal pre-conditions,
interaction with the regime spectrum, safeguards against premature
adaptation, seasonal profile segmentation, and the principle of
"adapting to variation while refusing to normalize pathology."
§6
Regime Taxonomy
The bipolar operational spectrum from Anomalous Silence (−3) through
Homeostasis (0) to Viral Propagation (+5). Sub-demand regimes,
over-demand regimes, adversarial detection via covariance deformation,
supplementary metrics, and the integrated classification matrix.
Operations
§7
Configuration & Deployment
Installation prerequisites, build instructions, runtime flags,
environment detection, capability requirements per response level,
safelist configuration, Kubernetes DaemonSet deployment, and
operational best practices.
