System Architecture

Mirror OS

The internal system architecture that powers Speculum AI Platform.

Mirror OS is not a product you buy — it's how our products work together to deliver institutional-grade AI governance.

How Mirror OS Works

Mirror OS orchestrates five products into a unified governance system. Each product has a clear responsibility, and they work together to ensure every AI decision is governed, recorded, and auditable.

Component Responsibilities

Mirror Trust Layer

Orchestration & Enforcement

The institutional governance layer that orchestrates all other components and enforces policy at decision boundaries.

Mirror Ledger Engine

Evidence & Audit

Records and seals every decision. Invoked by all components to generate regulator-grade evidence trails.

Mirror Guard

Decision Interception

Controls I/O risk in real time. Enforces regulatory constraints at the decision boundary.

Mirror Gateway

Governed Orchestration

Controls orchestration, cost, and quality across agents and models within institutional boundaries.

Mirror Memory

Reasoning Continuity

Stabilizes multi-step reasoning chains. Preserves context integrity and rollback points.

Design Principles

Separation of Concerns

Each component has a single responsibility. No component can override another's decisions.

Evidence by Default

Every decision boundary invokes Ledger Engine. Audit trails are automatic, not optional.

Fail-Safe Design

When in doubt, the system fails closed. No decision proceeds without governance clearance.

Human-in-the-Loop

Policy changes require explicit human approval. The system does not self-modify.
