# Ontology | Inside OPPI's Decision Intelligence Architecture > Inside OPPI's three-layer architecture. Perception senses the venue, Cognition decides, Execution acts, and the loop tightens with every shift. Canonical URL: https://oppi.au/ontology Site index for agents: https://oppi.au/llms.txt --- Architecture — how OPPI is built ## OPPI Ontology. One organism wrapped around your venue. It senses everything, thinks in context, and acts on the floor. Every strand runs both ways. 03 Layers 09 Engines 07 Memory domains 60s Heartbeat System topology ### One loop, omnipresent. The outer wall is your venue. Signals cross it into the perception engines. Cognition shapes them against Venue DNA. Execution pushes decisions back onto the floor. Clementine feeds truth in from outside it. Nothing here runs one way. The core · Venue DNA #### Your venue's OPPI The living model A model of your venue that never stops being rebuilt — Venue DNA. Every engine reads from it before acting and writes back to it after, which is why every strand on this map runs both ways. Every strand runs both ways — signal in, decision out, learning back.

AI ReasoningAgentic logic · the hubThe brain stem of the 10-agent cloud. Receives anomalies, applies deep reasoning, and routes context to the right specialised agent. Memory EngineSeven cognitive domainsFrom an episodic log of every venue event to live working memory holding the current shift. Every domain is read before a decision is made. Cognition · Context 01/03 Execution · Decision out Confidence EngineCCR · decision validationEvery autonomous action is scored on confidence × consequence × reversibility. Below the threshold it stops here, and a human decides. SynapseTask engine & assignmentDeterministic task assignment — the right task to the right person, scored on role, zone proximity, skill and capacity. No guesswork.
