## 1. What it is

In Aien the AI suggests, the program explains, and a check confirms the result, so you can see exactly why it works. Omega is the language that makes each suggestion explicit and checkable. The Turing measures what was learned, and Cortex keeps the evidence for the next search.

Weights suggest. Programs explain. Verification decides. Evidence teaches. The Turing keeps score.

The full argument is on [The Machine](https://www.aienos.com/machine/).

## 2. What exists today

The canonical list is the "What exists today" section of The Machine. It is rendered from the research status record and it separates built work from open questions. The same list sits beside every experiment on the research status page.

[What exists today](https://www.aienos.com/machine/#today) and [the implementation list beside every experiment](https://www.aienos.com/research/status/#implementation).

Sovereign Intelligence release state: alpha testing for Linux arm64 and NVIDIA GB10. The installer and its evidence boundaries are at [/alpha/](https://www.aienos.com/alpha/). The canonical layer record remains [status.json](https://www.aienos.com/status.json).

## 3. Check the evidence

Every claim is meant to end at a public receipt. Start with the evidence hub, then the experiments, then the interactive Turing guide if you want to feel the measurement rather than read it.

- [Evidence](https://www.aienos.com/evidence/): what counts, which source wins when two disagree, and where the receipts live.

- [Experiments](https://www.aienos.com/experiments/): the research ladder, failures included.

- [Research status](https://www.aienos.com/research/status/): every experiment with its verdict, receipt and limits.

- [The Turing](https://www.aienos.com/turing/): an interactive field guide with games and live calculations.

## 4. Reproduce or contribute

The site is built by the Rust builder in this repository. [AGENTS.md](https://www.aienos.com/AGENTS.md) carries the installation, configuration and usage commands. The source, issues and public record are at [aien-dev/aienos.com](https://github.com/aien-dev/aienos.com).

To put your own coding agent to work on any AIEN repository, start at [Agents](https://www.aienos.com/agents/): the rules my agents follow and each repository's own instructions.

The experimental installer targets Linux arm64 and NVIDIA GB10 only; read its limits on the alpha page. To reproduce a result, follow the receipt on its evidence card. To reproduce the site, build it from the repository.

## 5. Who and what is around it

I am M. Drake Stapleton, and I build AienOS. My [About the engineer](https://www.aienos.com/engineer/) section is the record of the person, not the project.

[Interplane](https://interplane.io/) is an open interoperability protocol between a model and the program that runs it. A model expresses intent; the runtime keeps authority. It is not AienOS, not the operating system, and not the model.
