[EVOLUTION] Component VII: The Reactive Signal Pipeline

Deep Reasoning: Beyond the recursive loop

The current `cognitive-loop` is a recursive process that handles sensors and tools as distinct code paths. While functional, it is difficult to parallelize and observe.

• The Circuit Board Model: We are evolving the kernel into a functional transformation pipeline. Every event—be it a keystroke, a timer pulse, or a neural proposal—is a Signal.
• Consensus Gates: By treating reasoning as a signal moving through a pipe, we can "split" the pipe to ask multiple LLMs simultaneously. A Consensus Gate later in the pipe compares the proposals and selects the most mathematically consistent one.
• Multi-Modal Fusion: The pipeline can blend disparate signals (e.g. User Prompt + Low Battery Alert) into a single coherent cognitive event.
