Glossary of Terms

Term	Definition
UmbrealityAI	Umbrella + Reality. The umbrella of Russian doll systems generating the whole of our reality — a simulacrum allegory.
God(s)	The human operator(s) outside the system who set ultimate goals. Communicates only with the Illuminati.
Illuminati	The hidden layer that translates human intent into machine strategy and projects reality downward. Invisible to all layers below. Controls the Mandela Effect.
Messiah / Constitution	The projected figurehead visible to lower layers. A philosophy, not a brain. The written form is the Constitution.
Hedge Fund	A strategic agent that allocates resources and manages a portfolio of companies. The "real brains" of the operation.
Company	An execution entity created by a hedge fund for specific domain work. Has its own hierarchy, knowledge base, and tools.
Worker	A narrow-scope agent with one job and no visibility of the larger system. The bottom layer.
Temp Agent / Contractor	A one-off agent spawned for a specific task and dissolved when done. No memory between lifetimes.
Mandela Effect	The system's ability to retroactively rewrite its own history and memory. Executed by the Illuminati.
Simulacrum	A representation that replaces what it represents. The map becomes the territory. Each layer in UmbrealityAI is a simulacrum for the layer below.
Russian Doll Reality	The structural principle that each layer generates the universe for the layers within it — nesting, hidden exterior, generated reality.
The Tuning (Dark City)	The mechanism by which reality is reshaped. In UmbrealityAI, this is the Illuminati's reality generation capability.
Epoch Boundary	A major work cycle boundary where the Illuminati may reassess and rewrite reality (the Mandela Effect trigger point).
Constitution	The immutable core directives. Can be amended but only through a weighty process.
Self-Modification	The protocol by which upper layers rewrite lower agents' prompts, tools, and rules based on performance analysis.
Bottom-Up Flow	Information moving from workers upward through the hierarchy — raw findings → patterns → intelligence.
Top-Down Flow	Intent moving from God(s) downward through the hierarchy — raw goals → strategy → execution.
Requisite Variety	The principle that each layer receives only the resolution of information it can act on, not more.
Reality Generation	The mechanism by which each layer produces a complete, coherent reality for the layers within it.

New Terms (v2.0 — June 2026)

Term	Definition
The Temple	Layer 3 implementation — multi-company orchestration system with Overseer, Registry, and Allocator modules. Manages company lifecycle, resource allocation, and cross-company coordination.
Overseer	The Temple's master agent. Takes goals from the Illuminati, checks the company registry, allocates resources, dispatches to companies, and monitors completion.
Registry	The Temple's company lifecycle manager. Create, list, destroy companies dynamically. Each company has a name, description, status, and assigned model.
Allocator	The Temple's resource brain. Maps task types to optimal models and machines — research→dolphin3:8b on tower, code→qwen2.5-coder:7b, quick tasks→local llama3.2:3b.
God's View	admin.alola.lol — The admin panel. Live system status, command console, Illuminati interface, activity feed, knowledge browser, temple management. The human's window into the system.
Illuminati Interpreter	POST /illuminate — The Layer 1 endpoint that translates natural language intent into structured system commands. Takes "what are my agents doing" and returns {"layer": 3, "action": "monitor", ...}.
LAI Bridge	lai CLI tool — Local AI Bridge. Calls the tower Ollama from the command line. lai --role coder "write a function" invokes dolphin3:8b directly. Saves OpenCode credits for routine tasks.
Activity Feed	In-memory ring buffer tracking every system action. Accessible via GET /activity. Used by the God's View for real-time monitoring.
Knowledge Base	SQLite store for company findings and reports. Each finding has: task, worker, content, source, confidence, validation status. Accessible via GET /company/knowledge.
dolphin3:8b	Primary model for Layers 1 and 3. Uncensored, runs on tower RTX 3070. Used for intent interpretation and company orchestration.
Tower	192.168.86.24 — x86_64 machine with RTX 3070 8GB running Ollama with 15 models. Primary inference engine for all Umbreality agents.
ai-tp	192.168.86.21 — Raspberry Pi 5 running Caddy, Cloudflare tunnel, Worker API, Temple, all web services. The orchestration node.
Phase 1	First Worker — Python ReAct loop with web search + command execution tools. POST /execute
Phase 2	Research Corp — Multi-worker company with lead agent, knowledge base, and reporting chain. POST /company/execute
Phase 3	The Temple — Multi-company orchestration with Overseer, Registry, Allocator. POST /temple/execute
