Presenting Axiom Border
Presenting Axiom Border
The rest of this section explains how to operate the probe. This part explains what it is and why it behaves the way it does — the seven ideas that, once you have them, make every screen in the console read the way it was meant to.
Read it in order the first time. Each page assumes the one before it.
| Page | The idea it carries | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | What Axiom Border is | Not an agent that reports to a cloud — an autonomous node that observes, decides and acts by itself |
| 2 | The full loop | Ingest, observe, decide, act: four stages, four clocks, one local state — and nothing leaves by default |
| 3 | The four probes | One listens, three ask. What each produces and the execution contract the three active ones share |
| 4 | Passive and active | Two kinds of claim, not two views of the same data. Neither one erases the other |
| 5 | From event to alarm | Coalescing by identity, acknowledgement that reopens, and rules that already know what changed |
| 6 | AI on the probe | Inference on the node, in local containers, with no external call |
| 7 | Security posture | What the two installation paths deploy, and where each kind of data lives |
Documented version
This part of the documentation describes Axiom Border v1.1.0. Most console captures come from a running probe of that version; a few are older and still show the previous menu labels. Where they differ, the surrounding text describes the current console.
