🏗️ 12-Cluster Architecture

The core functional agent model of ABACUS — 12 clusters across 4 tiers driving recursive cryogenic analysis.

Architecture Overview

The 12-Cluster model is a functional agent architecture, not a rigid numbering system. Each cluster represents a capability domain that one or more agents can fulfil. Clusters are organized into four tiers:

🔷 Analysis Tier (C1–C4)

C1 – Data Ingestion

Raw data intake, validation, format normalization from Excel/CSV/JSON sources.

C2 – Statistical Analysis

Descriptive/inferential stats, outlier detection, distribution fitting.

C3 – Domain Modeling

Cryogenic-specific heat load, cooldown, and flow network models.

C4 – Optimization

Parameter tuning, what-if scenarios, multi-objective optimization.

🟢 Documentation Tier (C5–C6)

C5 – Report Generation

Automated reports, dashboards, and handover documentation.

C6 – Knowledge Codification

SSOT catalog, canonical indexes, artifact versioning.

🟠 Recursive / Orchestration Tier (C7–C8)

C7 – DMAIC Phases

9-phase DMAIC pipeline orchestration with convergence detection.

C8 – Orchestrator

Multi-agent coordination, task scheduling, resource management.

🔴 Knowledge & Monitoring Tier (C9–C12)

C9 – KEB

Knowledge Execution Bridge: task execution engine, scheduling, resource monitoring.

C10 – GBOGEB

Goal-Based Orchestration: observability, metrics, compliance, audit trails.

C11 – DOW Governance

Design-of-Work governance layer: 1,327 references, compliance checks.

C12 – Recursive Learning

Self-improvement loop, quality scoring, change detection, temporal tracking.
