System Architecture

NØN-OS is built as a layered stack where every stage from power-on to proof settlement is verifiable, modular, and mesh-native. Each layer is implemented in Rust, with explicit memory safety, zero unsafe vendor calls, and no reliance on opaque orchestration.

Bootable ZeroState Mode:

Mathematical Equivalence Proof:

Computational Equivalence Theorem:
∀computation C, ∀inputs I:
    Cloud_Execute(C, I) ≡ ZeroState_Execute(Transform(C), Transform(I))

Where Transform preserves semantic equivalence:
    Transform: (CloudComputation, CloudInputs) → (ZeroStateComputation, ZeroStateInputs)
    
State Transformation Functions:
    Cloud → ZeroState: ψ(σc) = σz where σc ∈ Σcloud, σz ∈ Σzerostate
    ZeroState → Cloud: φ(σz) = σc where φ = ψ^(-1)

Preservation Properties:
    ∀σ ∈ States: φ(ψ(σ)) = σ (Invertibility)
    ∀op ∈ Operations: Transform(op) preserves semantics (Semantic Preservation)
    ∀security_prop: Transform preserves security_prop (Security Preservation)
