Physical Intelligence
at the Decentralised Edge
TonoPhysic™ connects Tonomia AI agents to the physical world through a sovereign distributed edge network. Encrypted inference — never raw data — is stored across EU anchor sites and orchestrated by TonoFabric™.
System Topology OVERVIEW
TonoEdge™ & TonoPhysic™ RELATIONSHIP
TonoEdge™ is the compute unit that runs TonoPhysic™. Every deployment is anchored by TonoEdge™ nodes that acquire physical context, execute on-device inference, and maintain encrypted local Scene Memory — before any data crosses a network boundary.
Residential and small-space environments. Feeds the personal agent silo via a device-bound key. Home context stays isolated — never crosses to other agent contexts.
Enterprise environments. Feeds the professional agent silo under enterprise data controller authority. Workplace context never crosses to the personal silo.
Educational institutions and laboratories. Feeds the learning agent silo. Physical skill activation evidence is witnessed and confidence-tiered by the pipeline.
Each node is provisioned with a silo-specific encryption key at deployment. The wrong key cannot decrypt data from the wrong silo — context isolation is cryptographic, not policy-based.
Nodes operate during network interruption, buffering artifacts locally. On reconnection, only deltas transmit. No data lost. No re-inference required.
Physical Sensing Layer LAYER 0
RGB + depth for 3D spatial context. Objects detected and classified on-device. Biometric anonymisation before any write.
Depth and LiDAR produce 3D point clouds. Spatial relationships encoded in a local scene graph — queryable without raw video.
Occupancy and anomaly detection without identifying individuals. Operates in complete darkness. No biometrics produced or retained.
Event classification flags only — speech activity, specific sounds. Raw audio is never stored or transmitted.
Non-visual presence and motion detection through walls and in darkness. No imagery. No biometrics. Pure occupancy signal.
All modalities converge into a persistent, queryable Scene Memory indexed by object, location, and time — on-device.
Anchor Storage Architecture LAYER 2
Encrypted storage shards distributed across trusted EU physical sites — not a single cloud. Each anchor type contributes distinct security posture and connectivity, forming a sovereign mesh with no single point of failure.
| Anchor Site | Storage Profile | Connectivity | Role |
|---|---|---|---|

🏠 Home Worker Node |
NVMe Micro | FTTH 50–1000 Mbps | Ciphertext only — operator never sees plaintext. Earns storage credits. Max 2 shards. Auto-eviction at 30 days. |
🏭 TonoForge™ Hub |
All-NVMe Tier-0PB-scale Archive | 100 GbE · InfiniBand | Central aggregation. Federated learning receives model gradients only — never raw data. |
Platform Integration PLATFORM
TonoPhysic™ is a native Tonomia module — extending the platform from GPU compute into physical-world AI memory and enabling new revenue streams through existing infrastructure.
Each TonoEdge™ node registers on the TonoFabric™ mesh as a billable compute resource — GPU-as-a-Service and Token Inference API.
TonoPhysic™ scenes are a native resource type in the TonoFabric™ API. Integration requires a single deployment per TonoForge™ region — no new infrastructure stack.
GPU clusters aggregate anonymised scene embeddings for model improvement via federated learning. Cross-location semantic queries without raw data centralisation.
Physical context routes to each agent through isolated encrypted silos. Silo keys never cross boundaries — physical intelligence serves each agent without contamination.
Banks, telcos, and municipalities earn monthly credits against Tonomia services for hosting anchor nodes.
Per-query billing for semantic scene search across the physical memory fabric. REST API. Per 1,000 queries.
Physical device sales with managed deployment and TonoFabric™ subscription bundle.
Sector-specific models trained on opt-in federated data. Licensed without exposing raw source data.
Privacy & Compliance BUILT-IN
Privacy, data minimisation, and EU sovereignty are architectural properties — enforced at the pipeline, key management, and scheduler level. Not configuration. Not policy.
Face detection and anonymisation run inline on the ISP pipeline before any frame reaches any memory buffer. Biometric retention is architecturally impossible — not policy-prohibited.
GDPR Article 17 deletion cascades to all 12 anchor shards within 72 hours, verified via cryptographic deletion receipts in an immutable audit log.
Per-site configurable retention: 7d, 30d, 1y, 7y. Automatic data minimisation enforcement. Immutable audit logs for GDPR, NIS2, and DORA.
TonoFabric™ verifies each anchor’s jurisdictional certificate before placing any shard. No administrative action can route data outside the declared EU perimeter.
