A distributed hive mind that runs on the drones
Actively being built. The design is scoped and firm; it is not usable yet.
How it works
The fleet decides as a group
Every drone shares a common world model through gossip. A leader is elected by capability, and if it drops, another takes over in under a second. No single node is required for the fleet to keep working.
The model
Layered, transport-agnostic, local-first
The intelligence sits in layers on top of whatever link is available. Hard agreement is used only where it must be, and gossip carries everything else.
- Transport
- Any available link
- World model
- Gossip, partition-tolerant
- Roles
- Capability-weighted election
- Tasking
- Decentralized auction
- Behaviors
- Formations and flocking
- Human role
- Intent and oversight
Autonomy
A full-hybrid autonomy ladder
Autonomy is selectable per mission, per node, and per behavior. Every step keeps a human abort and single-drone takeover available.
Two invariants
Snappy and resilient by design
Local-first
No node waits on a central brain, so the fleet stays responsive. Decisions happen on-board and propagate through gossip.
No indispensable node
The fleet reconverges after any loss, including the leader or the ground link. Richer drones lead, but any capable one can take over.
Command intent, not each drone
The distributed hive is open-source and validated in simulation first. Follow the design as it comes together.
