fawazishola··on Show HN: Axiom – A math-native OS where x² is valid syntax (built from scratch)
Not LaTeX. Flux has its own grammar. It tokenizes Unicode math symbols like ² directly into AST nodes.

The shell doesn't talk to the LLM directly. They're separate processes. Alexitha monitors system state via cgroup events and adjusts scheduler weights. Flux is just the user-facing shell. They're connected through Tenet (the scheduler), not through a direct pipe.

Yes, the LLM is swappable. Alexitha is currently a fine-tuned 7B model, but the interface is not model specific. Any model that can read a cgroup event stream and output a scheduling decision can be slot in. I'm planning to test with smaller models (1-3B) to reduce boot overhead.

That's fair feedback. They actually did start as separate experiments. The reason I bundled them into one OS is that the real value comes from the integration.

But you raise a good point; I should probably document the integration story better. Thanks.

Haha, fair. The therapist said "find a healthy outlet." I don't think she meant "replace systemd with an LLM," but here we are.
