THE NOETON STACK · L3 / L5
L3 Model-OS Runtime
MODEL-OS RUNTIME
The LLM is the kernel; everything else is a process.
Above the hardware, the Noeton does not run a traditional operating system. L3 is a runtime with an LLM as its kernel: agents are processes, tools are system calls, the vector store is the filesystem, and intent is the new executable format. The unit of scheduling shifts from CPU time slices to attention and context windows; the privilege model shifts from rings 0–3 to alignment policy.
This is not bolting an AI service onto Linux — it is rewriting every OS abstraction. LLM-OS research such as MemGPT and AIOS has already validated the mapping in software; the Noeton sinks it into the machine's native runtime. The full account lives in the Model-OS series and its five mappings.

Semantic scheduling: context and compute follow goal priority
Agent scheduler
Spawn, suspend, collaborate — memory snapshots as the lifecycle unit
Tool gateway
Schema is the ABI; sandbox and audit built into every call
Vector memory
A meaning-addressed "filesystem"; the forgetting curve is the GC
INTERACTIVE · LIVE
Tools-as-syscalls requires one ABI. Drag the sliders and watch the N×M explosion fold into N+M.
Semantic scheduling
For the first time the kernel understands what it schedules — arbitration goes from first-come to most-urgent.
Tools are syscalls
The call table is open and extensible; the world becomes the peripheral.
Layered memory
Working memory in context, episodic memory in vectors, long-term knowledge in weights.
