World model & reasoning

Janus

Active development

A position, alert or sensor reading is only part of the picture. Janus relates observations, entities and their context into an evolving operational picture: what is happening, how it relates and what the available evidence supports.

Current foundation

An operational world model.

Janus maintains operational state as supported observations arrive and conditions change. Observations record what a source reported; entities represent the people, objects or places those observations concern. Relationships connect them, while time and surrounding conditions provide operational context.

Source references preserve provenance: where the evidence came from. History, freshness and uncertainty remain part of the model, so a recent observation can be distinguished from older or less certain information. The picture evolves with the evidence.

Current reasoning uses defined conditions and bounded, explainable assessments. This provides a foundation for a common operating picture: a shared understanding of known activity and remaining uncertainty. The model supplies context for human interpretation and situational awareness.

Development direction

Deeper reasoning and decision support.

Development continues on the world model and its integration with supported evidence. Richer evidence-backed reasoning, operational decision support and mission workflows are further directions.

Advanced model-assisted reasoning, prediction and planning remain exploratory. Janus does not make autonomous operational decisions.

Architecture & independence

In the current ecosystem, source acquisition and normalization through Wayfinder supply evidence to Janus. Janus owns the operational interpretation and maintains its world even when no viewer is open.

That world can be visualized and explored through Argus, the optional 3D presentation layer. Janus does not depend on Argus to maintain state; other compatible consumers remain part of the modular direction.
