Explanation

Understanding-oriented material. The concepts, the trade-offs, and the why. Where a concept is homed elsewhere (the architecture pages, or a reference), these pages link to it rather than restate it.

Pages

• The 8 principles: the eight non-negotiable principles and why each one matters to an adopter.
• The accountability model: audit and verification, permissions and human oversight, and the EU AI Act mapping.
• Sovereignty and local-first: what sovereign and local-first mean in practice, and why they are the core of the value proposition.
• Autonomy tiers: the four-tier autonomy dial, the gate policy, and how an operator chooses.
• The plan and orchestrated execution model: how Apollia classifies, plans, gates, executes, and verifies a run.
• The agent trust model: an agent is a record whose tool calls are decided one by one, the Python of a package is trusted code, and what an operator must assume before installing a package.
• Repository layout: what every top-level file and directory in the source tree is for, from the Rust crates to the build and quality configuration.
