THE NOETON STACK · L5 / L5
L5 Intent Interface
INTENT INTERFACE
The unit of work is intent, not operation.
The top layer is where humans meet the Noeton. There is no desktop, no file manager, no shortcuts to memorize — you express an intent against context, in language, voice, gesture, or imagery, and L5 resolves it into a plan for the Model-OS to schedule and execute.
The intent interface is not a smarter voice assistant; it is a change of interaction paradigm — from humans compiling intent into operation sequences, to machines compiling intent into execution plans. Plans stay visible and editable throughout, and irreversible actions return to the human for confirmation. The handover of control is graded and configurable: that is L5's safety floor.

INTERACTIVE · LIVE
What does the intent interface feel like? State a goal → plan compiled → executed → irreversible steps returned to you.
Context disambiguates
"Send it to that client from last time" needs no explanation — intent is always expressed against context.
Plans are explainable
You review what it intends to do, not clean up what it did.
The end of the interface
When intent travels directly, the "operating interface" itself becomes a historical term.
