How the current layers of the library fit together.
Operon is built around the idea that agent reliability depends heavily on structure.
The library borrows from biology not as decoration, but as a source of reusable control motifs: review bottlenecks, consensus gates, bounded resource use, self-repair and surveillance, and explicit interfaces between stages.
The recommended front door for engineers:
Shared infrastructural components such as Nucleus, Membrane, Mitochondria, Chaperone, and Lysosome.
ATP budgeting, histone memory, surveillance and healing, and morphogen-style coordination.
The lower-level layer models modules, ports, wires, and topology explicitly so the library can reason about architecture instead of treating everything as an opaque chain.
