Meotis glossary

Understand the words without emptying them of meaning.

Each concept has two reading levels: a plain-language definition first, then the technical meaning used by Meotis.

What Meotis preserves

Cognitive heritage

In plain terms

The knowledge, decisions, methods, and lessons an organization accumulates and needs to pass on.

Technical meaning

It extends beyond documents to their relationships, provenance, business rules, and the memory of actions already performed.

See Meotis's vision

Cognitive core

In plain terms

The shared memory connecting an organization's information, tools, and actions.

Technical meaning

It combines indexes, a knowledge graph, permissions, provenance, and execution memory so every agent works from the same governed context.

Explore the technology core

Comoto OS

In plain terms

The system Meotis installs to bring memory, tools, agents, and control rules together.

Technical meaning

Comoto OS is the cognitive orchestration layer: it preserves sources of truth, rebuilds indexes, connects services, and governs agent actions.

How the system works

Local-first

In plain terms

Reference data and files remain first on the customer's own infrastructure.

Technical meaning

Files remain readable without the app and act as the source of truth. Derived indexes can be rebuilt from disk.

See the Comoto OS architecture

Agentic AI

In plain terms

AI that can plan, use tools, and carry out actions within defined boundaries.

Technical meaning

An agent combines a model, memory, tools, and an execution loop. Permissions, human approvals, and deterministic checks bound its autonomy.

Agent-Native

In plain terms

An organization where AI agents are integrated into processes, data, and governance rules.

Technical meaning

The term describes a maturity stage: uses no longer rely on isolated copilots, but on a shared core, supervised workflows, and explicit responsibilities.

How control and proof work

Digital sovereignty

In plain terms

Concrete control over data processing, access, outbound rules, and recovery.

Technical meaning

It is demonstrated through architecture, jurisdiction, encryption, portability, and execution traces — not only through hosting location.

See the security guarantees

Provable governance

In plain terms

The ability to verify what an agent did, with which sources, tools, and approvals.

Technical meaning

Important actions produce an auditable trace: intent, provenance, permissions, control results, and any human intervention.

On-chain

In plain terms

A timestamped fingerprint is recorded on a blockchain so it can be verified later.

Technical meaning

Meotis does not publish the content: only a cryptographic fingerprint is used to demonstrate a backup’s existence, integrity, and prior date.

Understand the ORIGYN proof

LAMS

In plain terms

The private, encrypted backup layer hosted on Swiss infrastructure.

Technical meaning

Last Autonomous Memory System protects content through end-to-end encryption, multi-canton replication, and explicit outbound rules.

See LAMS and its architecture

ORIGYN SDK

In plain terms

An alternative backup path that preserves sessions and collective cognitive heritage, with proof secured on-chain on ICP through ORIGYN's certification technology.

Technical meaning

ORIGYN SDK associates each backup with an ORIGYN digital authenticity certificate: a cryptographic, timestamped fingerprint is anchored on ICP (Internet Computer). The backup content remains protected off-chain; the certificate makes its existence, integrity, and prior date verifiable independently of Meotis.
