FSI
Syllable alphabet and phonotactic substrate
Private operating layer
BantuOS
The operating layer for Bantu language intelligence: FSI, tone, concord, equations, cartridges, validation, and model adapters held in one runtime architecture.
Operating thesis
One does not build a dictionary for a Bantu language. One builds an operating system.
BantuOS treats dictionaries as generated artifacts, not the source of the language. The source is the process: syllables, tone, noun class, concord, morphemes, constraints, and templates that generate valid forms and reject invalid ones.
Runtime architecture
The symbolic core is the moat.
The BantuOS core is deterministic, auditable, and cartridge-driven. Model adapters sit above it for contextual ambiguity resolution, but they do not replace the symbolic engine or override its validation rules.
