No servers. No containers. No sockets. Just a swarm that builds itself from folders.

🚨 What Just Dropped

MatrixSwarm v1.0 is not a framework.

It’s not a platform.

It’s a goddamn operating system for intelligent agents.

It lives in your filesystem.

It breathes through directories.

And now, thanks to HotSwap Protocol v6.0, it can rebuild itself on the fly — no reboot, no downtime, no permission slips.

🔥 Highlights of Swarm v1.0

  • ✅ Live agent mutation via payload injection
  • 🔁 Full agent hot-swapping with UUID retention
  • 📡 Tree-synced delegation updates (real-time)
  • ⚠️ Crash-aware resurrection via Reaper + Sentinel + Matrix
  • 🪓 Reaper class can walk and kill full subtrees, gracefully or violently
  • 🧠 Matrix now spawns from directives + watches her children
  • 📁 All communication is file-driven (no daemons, no sockets)
  • 🕸️ Agent pods live under /pod/{uuid}/ and coordinate via /comm/{universe}/

🧬 The Philosophy: Swarm OS

This isn’t a wrapper on top of Python.

This is a decentralized execution protocol where every agent is a self-aware unit.

It reads its directives, watches its dependencies, and reacts to life/death conditions through a single law:

"Swarm must persist."

And it does — by design.

⚙️ How It Works

Every agent:

  • Lives in its own folder
  • Has its own communication pod (with heartbeat, payload, outbox)
  • Is spawned by Matrix from a boot directive
  • Posts its status via atomic .token files
  • Is monitored by Sentinel, revived by Matrix, and logged by Mailman

Agents don’t share memory.

They don’t pollute ports.

They don’t require servers.

When an agent dies:

  • Sentinel detects stale hello.moto tokens
  • It writes a .spawn request into Matrix’s monitored queue
  • Matrix parses the request, resurrects the agent using the original directive and UUID
  • Logs update, tree syncs, the swarm breathes again

💣 HotSwap Protocol v6.0

As of May 5, 2025, we achieved live mutation:

  • Swap in a new agent source file into /boot_payload/{agent_name}/{agent_name}.py
  • Trigger a tree update or direct command
  • Matrix will:
    • Kill the original
    • Update the latest symlink
    • Spawn the updated agent in-place with zero downtime

Example Command: 

python3 reboot.py --universe ai --directive hot_swap_tree
It checks if Matrix is already running for ai.
If yes, it gracefully wipes the field and reboots.
If no, it boots clean.
Every time, the system emerges refreshed — fully delegated, fully aware.

⚔️ Closing Words
“We don’t just have a system.
We have a platform.”

MatrixSwarm is the bare-metal intelligence protocol that replaces everything bloated and slow.
No Kubernetes. No Flask. No Docker.
Just raw, evolving, intelligent folders.
