# Cognitive Mesh

Most autonomous systems are designed to think and act independently.\
The Cognitive Mesh introduces a different approach: coordination without centralization.

MinD Robotics does not aggregate intelligence into a single model or controller. Instead, it connects autonomous agents through a shared cognitive layer where signals, states, and intents can be exchanged in real time. Each agent remains sovereign, while gaining the ability to reason in relation to others.

The mesh acts as a coordination fabric, not a brain.

#### Shared Cognitive State

Within the Cognitive Mesh, agents can publish and consume structured cognitive signals. These signals may represent intent, confidence, task status, environmental context, or decision boundaries.

Rather than exchanging raw messages, agents interact through **interpretable state updates**. This allows systems to align decisions, anticipate actions, and adapt dynamically as the global state evolves, without requiring direct control or synchronization.

#### Distributed Coordination Model

The Cognitive Mesh operates as a distributed system. There is no central authority deciding outcomes. Coordination emerges from local interactions between agents reacting to shared signals.

This model enables:

* parallel decision-making
* fault tolerance
* scalable coordination across heterogeneous agents

By avoiding centralized cognition, MinD Robotics preserves autonomy while enabling collective behavior at scale.
