Editing Microkernel/Requirements (section)

== 1. Introduction ==

<span id="purpose"></span>
=== 1.1 Purpose ===

This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document provides a detailed description of the Logos Microkernel, which serves as the foundation for a privacy-preserving, decentralized technology stack. The microkernel is designed to support a modular plugin(module) framework for a peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralised technology stack with a focus on privacy and resistance against state-level adversaries.

<span id="document-conventions"></span>
=== 1.2 Document Conventions ===

This document follows these conventions:
* Requirements are categorized as either Functional (FR) or Non-Functional (NFR)
* Priority levels are defined as:
** MUST: Essential requirement
** SHOULD: Important but not essential
** MAY: Optional requirement
* Requirements are uniquely identified using the format: [Category]-[Number]
* Example: FR-001, NFR-001

=== 1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions ===

This document is intended for:
* Software developers implementing the microkernel
* System architects designing higher-level components
* Security researchers evaluating the system
* Project stakeholders understanding system capabilities

Readers should first review sections 1 and 2 for a high-level understanding. Developers should focus on sections 3 and 4 for technical details. Security researchers should prioritize sections 4.3 and 5.2.

=== 1.4 Product Scope ===

The Logos Microkernel is designed to:
* Provide a foundational layer for a decentralized technology stack
* Enable privacy-preserving P2P communication and computation
* Support modular plugin architecture for extensibility
* Facilitate secure and anonymous network communication
* Enable development of decentralized applications (dApps)

The microkernel will serve as the core component supporting higher-level services including:
* Network Overlays
* Module Manager (Package Manager & Dependency Resolution)
* A Peer Data Management System (Search & Content Discovery)
* Nomos (Private Multi-chain Network)
* Codex (Private Storage)
* Waku (Private Communications)
