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 organisation builds up and needs to pass on.

Technical meaning

It goes beyond documents: it includes how they relate to one another, where they come from, business rules, and the memory of actions already taken.

See Meotis’s vision

Cognitive core

In plain terms

The shared memory connecting an organisation’s information, tools and actions.

Technical meaning

It combines indexes, a knowledge graph (a map of how things connect), permissions, sources and a record of actions, so every agent works from the same controlled context.

Comoto Enterprise OS

In plain terms

The system Meotis installs to give an organisation its assistant: it brings memory, tools, agents and control rules together.

Technical meaning

It is the layer that coordinates everything: it keeps the original files as the reference, rebuilds indexes when needed, connects services, and governs what agents do.

How the system works

Local-first

In plain terms

The reference copy of the data and files stays first on the organisation’s own infrastructure.

Technical meaning

Files stay readable without the app and remain the reference. The indexes built from them can be rebuilt from the disk at any time.

See the Comoto Enterprise OS architecture

Agentic AI

In plain terms

AI that can plan, use tools and carry out actions, within limits you define.

Technical meaning

An agent combines an AI model, memory, tools and a loop that keeps it working step by step. Permissions, human approvals and rule-based checks limit its autonomy.

Agent-Native

In plain terms

An organisation where AI agents are built into its processes, data and governance rules.

Technical meaning

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

How control and proof work

Digital sovereignty

In plain terms

Real control over how data is processed, who can access it, what may leave, and how it is recovered.

Technical meaning

It is shown through the system’s design, the applicable jurisdiction, encryption, the ability to move your data, and records of what ran, not only through where the data is hosted.

See the security guarantees

Provable governance

In plain terms

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

Technical meaning

Important actions leave a trace that can be audited: the intent, the sources, the permissions, the results of checks, and any human step.

On-chain

In plain terms

A dated digital fingerprint is recorded on a public ledger (a blockchain) so it can be checked later.

Technical meaning

Meotis does not publish the content: only a cryptographic fingerprint is used to show that a backup exists, is intact and dates from a given moment.

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 with encryption at the source, copies held in several cantons and clear rules on what may leave.

See LAMS and its architecture

ORIGYN SDK

In plain terms

An alternative way to back up sessions and collective cognitive heritage, with a proof recorded on the ICP blockchain through ORIGYN’s certification technology.

Technical meaning

ORIGYN SDK pairs each backup with an ORIGYN digital certificate of authenticity: a dated cryptographic fingerprint is anchored on ICP (Internet Computer). The backup content stays protected off the blockchain; the certificate makes it possible to check, independently of Meotis, that the backup exists, is intact and dates from a given moment.

The words of the trade

Inference engine

In plain terms

The software that runs an artificial-intelligence model and produces its answers.

Technical meaning

The engine loads a model and runs its computations. Installed inside the organisation’s own infrastructure, it computes answers on site: no data leaves to be processed elsewhere. Engine and model are two separate things, like a player and the disc it reads.

Attrition

In plain terms

The share of clients, or mandates, a business loses over a year.

Technical meaning

In property management, attrition measures the mandates that leave. Memory attached to the building rather than to a person limits the loss of knowledge when a colleague leaves, and stops a file from being restarted from zero.

See the Real Estate division

Due diligence

In plain terms

The in-depth review of an asset or a company before buying it.

Technical meaning

The buyer and their advisers check deeds, leases, accounts, works and disputes. A complete, transferable record shortens that review, cuts the back-and-forth of information requests, and limits the blind spots that get renegotiated at the end.

Condominium (PPE)

In plain terms

The Swiss regime under which several people each own a unit within the same building.

Technical meaning

Each unit carries a share of the common areas. The owners' meeting decides on works and on the renovation fund; minutes and decisions form the condominium’s memory, year after year.
