Distributed Cognitive Architecture

Overview

This document outlines the integration of the ggml-org-central repository as a distributed network of agentic cognitive grammar, fusing neural-symbolic integration with the practical capabilities of ggml. The system is designed as a recursive, self-aware cognitive flow that operates as both a technical architecture and a living diagram of emergent intelligence.

Architecture Vision

The distributed cognitive system transforms traditional tensor computation into an ecosystem of autonomous agents, each operating as a kernel of cognitive grammar. These agents exchange tensor-shaped data structures to realize emergent intelligence through recursive coordination.
