Architecture
One parcel-anchored representation every agent reasons over.
Anymal OS is the AI workforce for the world's food systems. Anymals know, act, and certify. The Ontology binds them. Sources feed them. Five layers, the first four do the work, the fifth makes their output portable, payable, and verifiable by anyone.

01
The Anymal workforce
Anymal OS is the AI workforce for the world's food systems. The workforce is a set of agents we call Anymals. Every one belongs to one of five types below. Let them do the grunt work.
Directs
Orchestrator
Role-shaped, paired 1:1 with a human. What a buyer signs up for.
Example
Rancher Anymal · Attorney Anymal · Underwriter Anymal · Butcher Anymal
Knows
Earth Agent
Knowledge specialist per domain. Returns typed evidence stamped with source, vintage, confidence.
Example
Cattle · Water · Soil · Land · Carbon
Does
Ops Agent
Schedules work, ingests source data, dispatches side-effects.
Example
Backfill workers · RAP ingester · notification dispatch
Gates
Governance Agent
Policy, compliance, and audit checkpoint on every action.
Example
Coverage-aware 404 · trust-boundary quarantine · source-promotion gate
Bridges
Adapter
External system integration.
Example
IDWR · CDSS · TCEQ · x402 marketplace clients
02
The five-layer stack
Top to bottom: proof rides on operations, operations on knowledge, knowledge on the ontology, the ontology on source data.
Proof
Proof Layer
Agent-to-agent verification
Pays the work, signs it, anchors it on Solana mainnet. Any party verifies a fact without trusting our database.
Action
Operations Layer · Anymals
Agents that act
Eleven Anymals run supply, compliance, logistics, insurance, banking, and settlement, and certify each fact as they go.
Knowledge
Earth Layer · Earth Agents
Domain agents per place
Water, soil, land, carbon, cattle. Each returns typed evidence stamped with source, vintage, and confidence.
Substrate
The Evidence Ontology
One shared shape
Every asset is a biological thing moving through commerce, anchored to a parcel. Anymal ID for individuals, Lot ID for batches.
Foundation
Source data
Never the open web
Government, satellite, licensed, and sensor feeds. Seven layers from orbital imagery down to handwritten ledgers.
03
The Evidence Ontology
Every food system reduces to the same shape, a biological asset moving through commerce, anchored to a parcel. Two identities cover everything.
ANYMAL ID
For individual mobile assets, one cow, one fish. Anymals convert to Lots at slaughter or harvest; the lineage stays cryptographically traceable.
LOT ID
For anything traded as a batch, crops, genetics, perishables, carbon credits. Both identities anchor to a parcel, the one shared coordinate.
Parcel-anchored
One coordinate ties every agent, asset, and fact to the same physical ground.
Provenance on every fact
No claim without its source, vintage, and confidence attached.
Verifiable without trust
On-chain anchors let anyone re-check a fact independently.
04
Verifiable without trust
Earth Agents emit evidence. Anymals certify and anchor it. Each paid call settles on Solana mainnet and returns with a signature, so any party, a lender, a regulator, a buyer, re-checks a fact against the on-chain anchor without trusting Anymal's database. No claim without provenance: source, vintage, and confidence travel with every payload.
05
Borderless by construction
The pattern is universal, not the data. We adapt to what every jurisdiction already has, same envelope, same shape out.
15
US states + NSW shipping today
Same envelope across every jurisdiction. New geographies onboard in weeks, not quarters.
14
water-rights jurisdictions normalized
IDWR, CDSS, DNRC, OWRD + 10 more. One adapter pattern, same shape out.
1
chain, every border
Solana, no jurisdictional install. The trust rail is borderless by construction.
06
Every Case follows the same shape
A Case is the unit · the way Stripe sells Payment Intents, Anymal OS sells Cases. Every Case the platform runs flows through these eight stages in order. Pilots implement subsets · the lifecycle below is the canonical shape they specialize.
01
Intent
Assistant
The ask is captured. A persona, a question, a property, a cohort.
02
Match
Integrations · Marketplace
Applicable agents and authoritative sources are discovered for the ask.
03
Quote
Integrations · x402
Cost and scope are priced. The customer sees what each agent will cost.
04
Settle
Integrations · Solana
Payment is authorized. USDC escrows; wallets sign; the customer is in.
05
Execute
Workflows · Earth Agents
Agents fan out, read the System of Record live, and emit cited SpineFacts.
06
Certify
Anymals · IDx Registry
An Anymal signs the Case result. The artifact carries its IDx and its facts.
07
Audit
Knowledge · SpineFact citations
Every fact in the result traces to a source, a vintage, and a confidence.
08
Close
Cases · Solana anchor
The Case is archived. Its hash is anchored on Solana. It's immutable from here.
How the pilots fit
Procurement
A buyer prices a cattle cohort against substrate, settles on Solana, gets a signed Case.
IntentMatchQuoteSettleExecuteCertifyAuditClose
Insetting
A brand sustainability lead scores ranches in its supply shed against carbon-insetting headroom.
IntentMatchQuoteSettleExecuteCertifyAuditClose
Ask
A user types a free-form question; agents fan out, cite, and return a paragraph answer.

Stages are runtime, not stored. The orchestrator emits each stage as it happens · no case_stage row in the database. The Case's lifecycle is its live agent execution stream; the audit trail is its SpineFact citations; the proof is its Solana anchor.
