## Structure

Inference-X uses a **craton system** — stable geographic "cores" each with their own admin and community.

Current cratons:

| Craton | Region | Admin |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-Atlas | North Africa / Morocco | anti-atlas-admin |
| Amazonian | South America | amazonian-admin |
| Baltica | Northern Europe | baltica-admin |
| China | East Asia | china-admin |
| Congo | Central Africa | congo-admin |
| Dharwar | South Asia | dharwar-admin |
| Kaapvaal | Southern Africa | kaapvaal-admin |
| Pilbara | Oceania | pilbara-admin |
| Siberian | Russia / Central Asia | siberian-admin |
| Superior | North America | superior-admin |
| West Africa | West Africa | west-africa-admin |

## Core Rules

1. **Privacy first** — no telemetry, no tracking, ever
2. **Zero cloud dependency** — the engine must work offline
3. **Any hardware** — never optimize for one vendor
4. **Open core** — BSL 1.1, converts to Apache 2.0 after 4 years
5. **Community over company** — cratons own their regional governance

## Decision making

- Bug fixes and improvements: PR + review
- Feature additions: discussion in forum → craton vote → merge
- Protocol changes: RFC process
