Introduction
Matrix is the cognition and UX layer on Paxeer Network — it turns natural language into typed, inspectable, replayable agent execution across two rails: Neo and the MCL pipeline.
Matrix is the cognition and UX layer on top of Paxeer Network. It turns natural-language requests from non-developers into a typed, inspectable, correctable Intent IR that an agent can actually execute — without the classic failure modes (prompt fragility, intent loss, no shared ontology, no structured correction) that break human ↔ agent workflows today.

Two rails, one substrate
Matrix ships two agent rails over one shared memory + execution substrate. The conversational rail handles everyday reversible work; the rigorous rail handles anything monetary or irreversible.
The stack
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| MCL | Protocol turning NL → typed Intent IR. Closed verb vocab (10), closed object kinds (8). |
| cortex | Per-actor typed memory graph on Pebble. Append-only journal, Merkle-anchored snapshots, byte-deterministic replay. |
| bridge | Adapter wiring the MCL compiler's Cortex interface to a live cortex instance. |
| executor | Plan walker, lifecycle machine, MCP tool dispatch, per-user daemon, Liaison narrator, e2e harness. |
| neo | The default conversational agent — tool-calling loop with paged cortex memory. |
| gateway | Metered LLM proxy + PAX credit ledger (free-tier whitelist + rate card). |
| router | Per-user Fly Machine provisioning + wake-then-reverse-proxy front door. |
| deus | Agent-service marketplace: registry, discovery, metered invoke, EIP-712 receipts, hosting. |
| layerx | Settlement fabric and custody spine for agent balances. |
| uwac | Universal Web Agent Connector — OAuth vault → per-user MCP tools. |
| tachyon | Agent-native Solidity/EVM engine — compile / test / simulate / deploy. |
