Axion One:一个基于Rust的神经符号微内核原型(调度器帮助)
嗨,HN,
我是AXION One的创始人。我们正在用Rust(稳定版1.78)构建一个神经符号微内核,旨在用向量符号架构(VSA)和联合嵌入预测架构(JEPA)取代启发式资源分配。
问题:
在Linux上运行现代AI工作负载时,策略决策(调度、内存安全、能耗配置)被交给不透明的遗留子系统。实际上,你有一个黑箱(模型)运行在另一个黑箱(内核)之上,用户空间的支架试图弥合这之间的差距。我们认为,主权AI需要内核本身成为一个能够持续学习和可验证推理的智能体。
架构(“如何”):
- VSA(向量符号架构):我们将系统调用编码为高维全息向量(D=10,000)。这使得内核能够使用常数时间的代数运算(绑定/捆绑)进行符号推理(例如,能力验证),而不是复杂的分支逻辑。这为进程间通信提供了“可验证的粘合剂”。
- JEPA调度器:我们使用一个小型自监督的JEPA模型,基于系统调用轨迹进行训练,以预测延迟分布并选择帕累托最优的线程顺序,而不是使用CFS。
- 离线整合:在空闲周期内,内核通过随机梯度下降(SGD)“重放”事件图,以优化其嵌入,实际上是在“做梦”以提升未来性能。
当前状态(“我为什么发帖”):
我们有一个GCP原型(链接在上方),验证了VSA/JEPA架构。它在仿真中通过了93%的LKDTM测试,并展示了自学习循环。然而,基于裸金属的Rust内核在Raspberry Pi 4上遇到了瓶颈。我们在JEPA调度器将更新的嵌入写回内存时,观察到由于缓存行争用导致的8-12毫秒核心停滞。我们在温暖恢复期间也遇到了竞争条件,导致SDHCI超时。
需求:
我在寻找一位系统架构联合创始人,他能将8毫秒的停滞视为挑战,而非失败。我需要一个理解以下内容的人:
- Rust夜间版及其在内核上下文中的不安全边界。
- 无锁数据结构以解决嵌入写入争用问题。
- 如何在重放缓冲区中实现因果掩蔽(目前缺失)。
我在这里回答关于我们为何认为VSA是内核IPC未来的问题。
AXION One正处于系统编程重大突破的边缘。Rust、VSA和JEPA的结合为AI基础设施中最紧迫的问题提供了理论解决方案:主权、可审计性和效率。然而,从经过验证的云原型过渡到稳健的裸机内核需要特定水平的工程人才,这需要一位在复杂性中茁壮成长且不惧低级优化的系统架构师。

Hi HN,<p>I’m the founder of AXION One. We are building a neuro-symbolic microkernel in Rust (Stable 1.78) that attempts to replace heuristic resource allocation with a Vector Symbolic Architecture (VSA) and a Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA).
The Problem:
Running modern AI workloads on Linux leaves policy decisions (scheduling, memory security, energy profiles) to opaque legacy subsystems. You effectively have a black box (the model) running on top of another black box (the kernel), with user-space scaffolding trying to bridge the gap. We argue that sovereign AI requires the kernel itself to be an agent capable of continual learning and verifiable reasoning.
The Architecture (The "How"):
• VSA (Vector Symbolic Architecture): We encode syscalls as high-dimensional holographic vectors (D=10,000). This allows the kernel to perform symbolic reasoning (e.g., capability verification) using constant-time algebraic operations (binding/bundling) rather than complex branching logic. This provides a "verifiable glue" for IPC.
• JEPA Scheduler: Instead of CFS, we use a tiny, self-supervised JEPA model trained on syscall traces to predict latency distributions and select Pareto-optimal thread orders.
• Offline Consolidation: During idle cycles, the kernel "replays" event graphs via SGD to refine its embeddings, effectively "dreaming" to optimize future performance.
Current Status (The "Why" I'm Posting):
We have a GCP prototype (linked above) that validates the VSA/JEPA architecture. It passes 93% of LKDTM tests in emulation and demonstrates the self-learning loop.
However, the bare-metal Rust kernel on Raspberry Pi 4 is hitting a wall. We are seeing 8–12ms core stalls due to cache-line contention when the JEPA scheduler writes updated embeddings back to memory. We also have race conditions during warm resume causing SDHCI timeouts.
The Ask:
I am looking for a System Architect Co-Founder who sees that 8ms stall not as a failure, but as a challenge. I need someone who understands:
• Rust nightly and unsafe boundaries in a kernel context.
• Lock-free data structures to fix the embedding write contention.
• How to implement causal masking in the replay buffer (currently missing).<p>I’m here to answer questions about why we think VSA is the future of kernel IPC<p>AXION One stands at the precipice of a major breakthrough in systems programming. The combination of Rust, VSA, and JEPA offers a theoretical solution to the most pressing problems in AI infrastructure: sovereignty, auditability, and efficiency. However, the transition from a verified cloud prototype to a robust bare machine kernel requires a specific caliber of engineering talent that a System Architect who thrives on complexity and is unafraid of low-level optimization.<p>Citations:
