This page explains the governing doctrine, authority order, and public-safe subsystem relations. Not presented as an externally posted formal manuscript. It is the public working surface for architecture review and partner understanding.
LAKANA architecture is built from five foundational doctrines that apply across all systems.
Safety systems should respect physical constraints and uncertainty. When confidence degrades, the system should say less, not more. Silence and conservative action are valid protective outputs.
User and institutional data should remain under local control by default. Centralization should require explicit opt-in with clear tradeoff acknowledgment. Privacy is a design requirement, not an afterthought.
When communication, power, or confidence fails, the system should restrict rather than recommend. Recommendations under uncertainty are a liability. Conservative action under doubt is the design target.
Scientific credibility should not require unrestricted raw data exposure. Aggregate, integrity-tracked, claim-bounded artifacts support reviewability. Evidence custody and user sovereignty are not incompatible.
Safety systems should not become leverage for coaching, selection, employment, or discipline decisions. System outputs should protect, not profile. User protection outranks institutional convenience.
LAKANA is organized as a layered architecture. User authority sits at the root. Foundational verification (TSARO) and evidence governance (NICOLE) provide decision-making support. Domain systems (SSI, SOS, W-X) sit above those layers.
All LAKANA systems are constrained by user/institution authority. Users retain custody of data and decision-making. Systems advise but do not override user choice.
TSARO provides physics-first verification and deterministic skepticism. Sensors are validated before fusion. Claims are bounded before propagation. Environment and system state are explicitly modeled.
NICOLE provides append-only evidence custody, explicit consent tracking, cryptographic attestation, and evidence integrity. Public review is supported through bounded artifact release, not raw data disclosure.
Application systems use TSARO and NICOLE to deliver domain-specific protection: structural-load intelligence for athletes, local safety for civilians, environmental truth for agriculture.
LAKANA's three primary systems operate within this shared architecture.
Physics-bounded structural-load safety for athletes and load-bearing workers. Deterministic load modeling, privacy-preserving inference, non-diagnostic design. Protects the person without extracting trajectory data.
Learn SSI →Local-first civilian protection without surveillance. Anti-coercion, evidence custody, degraded-communications resilience. User data remains local. Protection without institutional overreach.
Learn SOS →Physics-bounded environmental and agronomic observation. W-X is the general observational layer. WX-Ag is the agriculture extension. Uncertainty-explicit, fail-closed, non-coercive.
