docs: capture concentric bus topology (draft, pending confirmation)

Onion model from the design exchange: Hermes at the core; inner-brain bus
(Pony optional) carrying soul/metacog/drive-box/COBOL ontology; Ada (D1) as the
membrane; Ichor (Pony) as the OUTER bus carrying stomach/economy, microagents,
SAE, GoDAGRAG; External outside. Corrects earlier models (Hermes is core not
external; Ichor is outer not brain bus). Draft -- to be red-lined.

Gen.03 — concentric bus topology (DRAFT — captured live, correct freely)

The body is an onion: Hermes at the core, organs in rings around it, Ada as the membrane between inner and outer, the world on the outside. Nothing reaches the core without crossing inward through the rings.

HERMES  ← innermost core (the OpenHermes agent)

Layers (innermost → outermost)

Hermes — innermost core. The OpenHermes agent. Not external.
Inner-brain bus — connects the inner organs around Hermes. May be Pony, but need not be. Carries: soul, metacog, drive-box, COBOL ontology.
Ada (D1) — the membrane between inner and outer. Screens everything crossing in/out (blocklist / provenance / rate — Trust_Boundary).
Ichor (Pony) — the outer bus. Connects the outer organs and wires up to Ada. (This is the bus already scaffolded in src/ichor/.)
Outer organs — stomach/economy (small model), microagents, SAE, GoDAGRAG.
External — the world. Reaches in only via the outer ring → Ada.

Flow of a turn

external input → stomach digests it → GoDAGRAG builds RAG context → across Ichor → Ada (D1) screens (input is already pre-digested context) → inner bus → inner organs (soul/metacog/drive-box/COBOL) → Hermes → synthesis flows back out the same rings.

Corrections this doc bakes in (vs earlier wrong models)

Hermes is the core, not an external harness on Ichor.
Ichor is the OUTER bus (organs → Ada), not the brain bus.
The inner bus is transport-flexible (Pony optional).
The cerebellum/harness is not an Ichor organ.

Open / to place

Exact tier + role of each outer organ's hand-off to Ada.
Whether the inner bus is Pony or another mechanism (decides 2nd-broker vs not).
How Hermes-at-core is reached from the inner bus (in-process vs IPC).
