# Hyperion > Hyperion is an intent-native operating system: humans express goals, and the system determines how those goals become reality. Your goals are the operating system. Hyperion is open source and still early: there is no installer, only a buildable, bootable reference implementation. ## Architecture - L0 Kernel (Where it begins): The hardware layer everything else stands on. It's open source, so its safety claims are checkable. - L1 System runtime (How it stays fast and safe): Schedules work across CPU, GPU, memory, and battery, keeping every process in its own boundary. - L2 Platform services (What it's built from): Reusable capabilities, storage, updates, and networking. - L3 Knowledge (What it knows and remembers): Your information, connected by meaning. - L4 Cognition (Where it thinks): Understands what you're asking for, recalls what's relevant, and picks the right model for the job. - L5 Coordination (How the work gets organized): When a goal needs more than one specialist, this layer decides who does what, and keeps a record of why. - L6 Experience (What you see and say): Conversation, generated screens, and voice: the only parts of Hyperion you directly touch. ## Docs - [Architecture](https://github.com/JGalego/HyperionOS/blob/main/docs/02-core-architecture.md): The full system, from kernel to conversation. - [Developer SDK](https://github.com/JGalego/HyperionOS/blob/main/docs/25-sdk.md): Build a Capability: local emulator, testing harness, publishing. - [APIs](https://github.com/JGalego/HyperionOS/blob/main/docs/26-apis.md): Intent, Context, Memory, Knowledge Graph, and Capability invocation contracts. - [Community](https://github.com/JGalego/HyperionOS): Issues, discussion, and the state of every subsystem, in one repository. ## Optional - [Source code](https://github.com/JGalego/HyperionOS): the full monorepo, MIT licensed.
