LatticeOS is fundamentally a data ontology enforcement layer with a tasking bus, not an AI operating system. The SDK's primary APIs (Entities, Tasks, Objects) normalize sensor feeds into a shared entity model and route task commands to agents. ML models that generate targeting recommendations are tenants of this platform, not the platform itself. This distinction transforms the governance problem: instrumentation targets the inference pipeline, not the platform bus. The $20B enterprise contract consolidates 120+ procurement actions into a single ordering vehicle, enabling governance updates at software-update cadence (weeks, not multi-year cycles).
