Ecosystem Stack
Understanding the Stack
MandalaStacks exists alongside open-source cognitive projects. Here is how they relate:
MandalaStacks
The user-facing application workspace layer. Renders generating forms, PDF reports, and provides session history persistence.
cognitive-os
The underlying framework authority. Governs schema generation, validation rules, and client-api boundaries.
Mandala OS
A future conceptual standard for unified cognitive runtime environments. Not yet operational.
