[About the engineer](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/)

# Glossary

Terms used in Drake Stapleton's public project record. Follow the linked project pages for scope, evidence, and current status.

## AIEN and AienOS

AIEN is the sovereign computing project described on [the AIEN page](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/aien/). AienOS is its operating-system work; [aienos.com](https://www.aienos.com/) carries the current project record.

## Omega

Omega is the project's programming language and compute work. The [AIEN page](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/aien/) explains its place in the stack. A project goal is not proof that every language or hardware target is supported today.

## CUDA++

CUDA++ is described as the GPU half of Omega. The [CUDA++ page](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/cudaplusplus/) explains its implementation and links to the source.

## Atlas

Atlas is Drake's research program in accountable personal AI, continuity, training, and orchestration. See [why Atlas exists](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/atlas/).

## Atlas Symphony

An operator-led process for coordinating multiple AI models using bounded work lanes and evidence-bearing reviews. See [Symphony](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/symphony/) and its [workflow](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/symphony/workflow/).

## AEGIS

The defensive Atlas extension for authorized networks. See [AEGIS](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/aegis/) for its scope and evaluation record.

## Receipt and verification

A receipt is a record of a check associated with a specific change. A result applies to the recorded commit, test, and environment. See the [evidence hub](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/evidence/); do not treat a historical pass as proof about a later revision.

## Sovereign computing

The project's goal of owning and operating the machine, software, and intelligence. See [AIEN](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/aien/) and [research](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/works/research/) for the implementation and measured claims.
