What it studies
CLOS studies how many specialized agents can coordinate as a cognitive operating system without collapsing every task into one general model.
Artifact or evidence produced
It produces orchestration traces, agent role maps, and structured outputs that show how distributed cognition was assembled for a task.
Research context
CLOS is documented as part of Celaya Solutions Research Lab's work on local-first AI systems, provenance-aware research instruments, industrial AI workflows, archival intelligence systems, multi-agent orchestration tools, and human-judgment-preserving AI architecture.
