Core Architecture Overview

The Foundation Layer forms the structural backbone of Arc402. It is a recursive cognitive architecture that connects intelligence modules, encrypted data channels, and adaptive policy feedback loops into a single unified system. This layer is responsible for how Arc402 learns, processes information, and coordinates decision-making across the x402 network.

Within the Foundation Layer, each module interacts continuously with others through secure data pathways. These interactions create a self-improving cycle where information is collected, analyzed, and used to refine the system’s behavior. The encrypted data channels ensure that all communication remains private and tamper-proof, while the feedback loops allow Arc402 to evaluate outcomes and update its internal logic automatically.

This foundation is what allows Arc402 to evolve over time. Instead of functioning as a static AI model, it constantly redefines its understanding of the network through new data and experiences. As a result, the Foundation Layer provides stability, adaptability, and intelligence growth, making it the core infrastructure that powers every higher-level process within the Arc402 ecosystem.
