Based on the 5-floor library architecture (Rell's model):
- Organize knowledge spatially (like a building)
- Navigate intuitively (like walking between floors)
- Cross-reference naturally (like inter-library connections)
Share your improvements! If you create additional useful templates, consider contributing to the ecosystem.
Ways to contribute:
- 📝 Create new template variations (academic, creative, technical)
- 💬 Document your usage patterns and workflows

Autonomous Agentic AI (AAI) guides the AURELION Kernel design:
- Autonomous: Self-organizing knowledge structure
- Agentic: Ready for AI agents to act on your behalf
- AI Framework: Optimized for LLM integration and intelligent automation
Design Principles:
- 5-Floor Architecture: Organize knowledge spatially (like a building)
- Graph-Based Relationships: Files naturally link to each other
- AI-Ready Structure: Templates optimized for GitHub Copilot and future AI agents
- Adaptive System: Grows with your career and knowledge
The framework is inspired by circular library architecture (Rell's model from our world-building work).
AURELION is a complete cognitive architecture for personal and organizational knowledge management:
Module Architecture:
- KERNEL - Knowledge structure and schema (this module)
- MEMORY - Persistent storage and retrieval
- NEXUS - Agent orchestration and workflow management
- SIM - Simulation and testing framework
Product Tiers:
- Personal (Free) - Individual use, file-based, ~50 API calls/month
- Premium (Paid) - Power users, vector DB, semantic search, unlimited
- Business (Team) - Multi-user, collaborative, organizational memory
How they work together:
- Kernel provides the schema (how knowledge is organized)
- Memory provides storage (where knowledge is kept)
- Nexus coordinates agents (how knowledge is used)
- Sim tests behavior (how agents learn)
Getting Started:
- For individuals: Start with KERNEL-Lite + MEMORY-Lite
- For teams: Start with kernel-business + memory-business
- For developers: See the development guide
MIT License - see LICENSE for details
Free for personal and commercial use. Build your knowledge base without restrictions!
AURELION Kernel-Lite is developed as part of chase-key's vision for intelligent, human-centered AI systems.
