One goal.
A coordinated response.
Efferent brings the goal, available information, and operating limits into one decision process. The chosen response guides execution across the systems already doing the work.
Assess. Decide.
Coordinate. Replay.
Understand the change. Compare the options. Coordinate the response. Keep the record.
Assess.
Bring together current conditions, available capabilities, and the goal. Identify what changed, which decisions it affects, and where information is missing.
Decide.
Compare possible responses and their trade-offs against the goal and operating limits. Choose a response within the authority the system has been given.
Coordinate.
Translate the chosen response into coordinated instructions for connected parts, working through their existing control and safety roles.
Replay.
Keep the context, options, chosen response, and outcome in one record so an engineer can examine what happened and why.
Built around
what you already use.
Controllers manage motion. Sensors report conditions. Power systems track capacity, and safeguards enforce limits. Efferent adds the shared decision that connects those roles to the goal.
Efferent
Coordinate decisions and execution across the system.
Motion & control
Controllers, actuators, and movement.
Sensing & perception
Measurements, state estimates, and uncertainty.
Power & energy
Available capacity, demand, and reserve.
Safety & limits
Safeguards and permitted operation.
Prediction is not permission.
A useful prediction helps a system understand its options. Authority defines which responses it may take. Efferent works within the goals, limits, and permissions already in place. Changes to that authority require explicit authorization.
