Glossary

ACP — Agent Client Protocol. Integration layer for Claude Code to perform autonomous health maintenance.

AgendaTracker — Tracks scheduled endpoint transitions for makespan operations, preventing false-positive health incidents.

APO — Automatic Prompt Optimization. Technique for evolving agent system prompts.

Bases — Feature store for entity-centric data with temporal queries.

CLT — Cross-Layer Transcoder. Extracts sparse interpretable features from model activations.

Death Loop — An H1 topological feature (persistent cycle) in embedding space. Indicates feedback loops, circular dependencies, or systemic risk.

devenv — Nix-based development environment providing reproducible builds.

DQL — Domain Query Language. Query syntax for the Bases feature store.

FMEA — Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. Quantitative risk assessment using RPN scoring.

Guru Meditation Code — Unique error identifier (e.g., #DS.00000001.SVCNOTINIT). Inspired by the Amiga.

H0/H1/H2 — Homology dimensions: H0 = connected components, H1 = loops, H2 = voids.

HOCON — Human-Optimized Config Object Notation. Configuration file format used by Gaius.

Just — Command runner replacing devenv-tasks. Reads recipes from justfile.

KServe OIP — Open Inference Protocol. Standard gRPC interface for ML inference.

LuxCore — Unbiased path tracing renderer used for card visualizations.

Makespan — Total time from start to finish of a multi-step workload (eviction, loading, inference, restoration).

MCP — Model Context Protocol. Programmatic interface exposing 163 tools to AI assistants.

optillm — Inference-time reasoning enhancement (CoT, BoN, MoA techniques).

PATHOCL — LuxCore rendering engine using OpenCL/CUDA for GPU acceleration.

RASE — Rapid Agentic Systems Engineering. Python-native MBSE metamodel for verifiable agent training.

RLVR — Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward. Agent training methodology.

RPN — Risk Priority Number. FMEA score: Severity x Occurrence x Detection (range 1-1000).

Tenuki — Go term for playing away from the current area. In Gaius, jumps the cursor to a strategic point.

Theta Consolidation — Memory compression inspired by hippocampal theta rhythms. Links knowledge across temporal slices.

TUI — Terminal User Interface. Interactive Textual application launched with uv run gaius.

vLLM — High-throughput LLM inference engine. Managed by the Orchestrator across 6 GPUs.
