  • Why Aging-in-Place Demands Open, Object-Oriented AI Models

    Aging‑in‑place is often framed as a problem of sensors, alerts, or caregiver dashboards. That framing is incomplete — and, in many cases, dangerous. Aging‑in‑place is fundamentally a problem of interpretation under constraint: interpretation of human activity without surveillance, interpretation of change without diagnosis, interpretation of risk without stripping dignity or autonomy. These constraints are not…

  • OAII Base Model — Sensor v0.2

    The Sensor object represents a source of observable data within a World. Sensors produce Signals by observing some aspect of the environment, device state, or interaction surface. In the OAII Base Model, Sensors are responsible for observation, not interpretation. Sensors enable edge‑primary autonomy by grounding Events in locally observable evidence while remaining hardware‑agnostic and privacy‑aware.

  • OAII Base Model — Signal v0.1

    The Signal object represents a unit of observation produced by a Sensor within a World. Signals are the raw or minimally processed inputs from which Events may be recognized. In the OAII Base Model, Signals are intentionally simple, local, and non-semantic by default. Signals enable edge‑primary autonomy by providing observable evidence without embedding interpretation, intent,…

  • Sensor Knowledge as a First‑Class Object

    A recurring misunderstanding in discussions about edge AI and event recognition is the assumption that events emerge directly from sensor data. In practice — and in every reliable real‑world system — events emerge from comparison, not observation. This is why the OAII Base Model treats Sensor Knowledge as a first‑class object, even though it is…

  • Is an Edge-Primary, Event-Based Assistant for Aging-in-Place Technically Feasible?

    One of the most common questions I receive when describing the OAII Base Model — particularly the World and Event objects — is straightforward and entirely reasonable: Is this actually feasible today on edge hardware, and can it be done without becoming prohibitively expensive or complex? The short ans

  • OAII Base Model — Event v0.1.1

    The Event object represents a semantically meaningful occurrence recognized within a World. It is the primary unit of interpretation for autonomy, assistance, logging, and policy evaluation. In Edge‑primary systems, Events enable actionable understanding without dependence on continuous connectivity or centralized inference.
