Architecture

Temporal physical design for model state.

OrbitKV compiles future-read semantics into block lifetime, address, immutable view, and reclamation programs.

Pipeline

Attention / state retention semantics

    -> Lifetime / head stripes
    -> LayoutProgram
    -> PhysicalPlan
    -> immutable KVView
    -> SemanticDead ∧ ExecutionComplete

Safety

  • Logical identity is separate from physical slot and generation.
  • Address programs are the only logical addressing authority.
  • Reuse requires semantic death, reader completion, and backend commit.
  • Unsupported semantics and engine contracts fail closed.
