H-OS: A Cognitive Operating System for Autonomous Scientific Discovery

Lionhead IO Research Lab · Autonomous Intelligence Division
Abstract — H-OS is a cognitive operating system designed to coordinate autonomous agents for iterative scientific discovery. The system integrates memory, reasoning, planning, and learning modules into a unified discovery loop capable of generating and evaluating hypotheses.

1. Introduction

Traditional AI systems are task-specific and lack persistent cognitive structures. H-OS introduces a modular architecture that enables long-term reasoning, experimental planning, and adaptive learning.

2. System Architecture

The system consists of a Memory Core, Attention Engine, Reasoning Engine, Planning Engine, and Discovery Loop. These components interact through a shared cognitive bus enabling continuous knowledge refinement.

3. Discovery Cycle

The discovery loop generates hypotheses, evaluates them through simulation, updates memory, and plans subsequent experiments, forming a closed learning system.

4. Conclusion

H-OS provides a scalable foundation for autonomous scientific research and long-horizon reasoning.

Neo Architecture: A Cognitive Stack for Agent Societies

Lionhead IO Research Lab · Multi-Agent Intelligence Group
Abstract — The Neo Architecture extends single-agent cognition into a multi-agent ecosystem where agents share memory, collaborate on planning, and develop emergent cultural knowledge.

1. Motivation

Intelligence scales through interaction. Neo enables distributed cognition across multiple agents coordinated by H-OS.

2. Cognitive Stack

The architecture includes Perception, Cognition, Memory, Planning, and Communication layers, allowing agents to form cooperative reasoning structures.

3. Emergent Culture

Shared memory and learning loops enable the formation of collective strategies and knowledge transfer between agents.

4. Conclusion

Neo demonstrates a pathway toward scalable agent societies and collective intelligence systems.
