COS-2 — Prior Art & Structural Novelty of the Chromatic Operating Substrate

Abstract

COS-2 presents a systematic novelty analysis of chromatic computing.

After examining patent systems, HCI research, OS design history, AI architectures, spatial computing, cognitive science and thermodynamic-computing literature, no prior art was found resembling the unified chromatic substrate or the drift-coherence semantics of COS-1.

The document shows that COS-1 introduces unprecedented mechanisms:

• a continuous chromatic OS substrate

• drift as semantic primitive

• thermodynamic coherence as state validator

• attractor entities replacing apps

• emergent time and aura continuity

COS-2 establishes COS-1 as structurally novel and marks it as the canonical origin of post-symbolic computing.
