## Introduction / Main Floor: Ori Runtime: An Open-Source Framework Enabling Autonomous Reasoning for IoT Devices

Ori is an open-source, offline-first intelligent IoT runtime that empowers physical devices with layered autonomous reasoning capabilities. Through layered LLM reasoning and a hierarchical permission model, it enables devices to safely perceive, reason, and execute physical operations autonomously.

## Introduction: The Evolution Bottleneck of IoT

Traditional IoT platforms have a fundamental limitation: they are just data transporters. Sensors collect data, the system sets thresholds, triggers an alert when exceeded, and then waits for human intervention. This "perceive-alert-wait" model has barely changed in the past decade.

But the real world doesn't need more data; it needs understanding of data and actions based on that understanding. Ori Runtime was born to address this pain point—it is an open-source, offline-first intelligent IoT runtime that gives physical devices a real "brain", enabling them to reason autonomously and execute physical operations safely.

## Core Philosophy: From Monitoring to Action

Ori's design philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: "IoT devices don't need more data—they need to understand data and act on it."

The workflow of traditional IoT is: "Current: 8.2A" → "Alert: Threshold exceeded, please check." But Ori's workflow is completely different:

**Tier A (Information Layer):** "Your air conditioner's current has been 40% higher than the baseline every afternoon for three consecutive days. Pattern analysis shows it's a refrigerant leak rather than a change in usage habits. Estimated failure time: 2 weeks. I have sent a maintenance reminder to your WhatsApp." — Fully autonomous, no internet required, runs on a $55 Raspberry Pi.

**Tier B (Soft Physical Layer):** "Grid voltage dropped to 174V; I have automatically switched to inverter power supply." — Act first, inform later.

**Tier C (Hard Physical Layer):** "A critical fault was detected in the main circuit; I recommend tripping the circuit. Reply YES to approve or NO to cancel—will automatically cancel after 5 minutes." — Reason first, propose, then wait for human confirmation.

**Tier D (Safety-Critical Layer):** "Dangerous overcurrent detected (52A on a 10A circuit); emergency shutdown executed at 14:32." — Safety first, no waiting.

## Layered Architecture Design

Ori uses a six-layer architecture, with layers 1-4 running entirely on the device side:

## Layer 1: Perception Layer

The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) is responsible for interacting with the physical world, supporting multiple protocols such as GPIO, I2C, RS485. Whether it's a Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins, industrial Modbus RTU devices, or WiFi sensors connected via MQTT, all can be integrated uniformly.

## Layer 2: Network Layer

EventBus and protocol standardizer are responsible for converting data from different sources into a unified format. The design of this layer ensures that hardware diversity does not affect the upper-layer business logic.

## Layer 3: Middleware Layer

The runtime core, including event loop and scheduler. This is the "heart" of the entire system, responsible for coordinating the work of all components.

## Layer 4: Reasoning + Action Layer

This is the most innovative part of Ori. The Intelligence Elevator, combined with the Action Tier Framework, enables layered reasoning and hierarchical permission control.
