Kronos is a distributed system built on a simple observation: the best ideas don't arrive on schedule. They arrive in fragments, across years, and the infrastructure that holds them must be patient enough to wait and precise enough to remember.
This is not a startup. It is not a product pitch. It is a living architecture — services, protocols, and servers that run continuously, each one a small machine doing one thing well, all of them connected by signed cryptographic beacons that say: I am here. I am alive. This is what I do.
Defined space produces more than infinite space. Constraints are not limitations — they are permissions to fill every corner.
A system that can be still without dying is stronger than one that must constantly signal. Presence is the deepest primitive.
No single root. No single point of failure. Ideas and data spread laterally, like roots under soil, connecting where they choose.
Every service broadcasts a signed identity beacon. The Keeper collects them all. When you need something, you don't search — you tug the string.
Hot processing and cold presence. One machine thinks. Another remembers. They couple through a shared frequency, not a shared dependency.
Two servers. Two continents. Two domain families. London runs the hot substrate — AI, treasury, proofs, analytics. Amsterdam runs the cold substrate — the keeper, the registry, the earth that holds roots.
Every service has an Ed25519 identity, a room number in the convergence lattice, and a beacon that fires every five minutes. The Keeper sees them all.
