Video.

Video is the kernel video brain. It runs Aurora, Mickai's sovereign text-to-video and image-to-video generation engine, at quality matching the closed frontier models (14B+ parameter video-diffusion and DiT architectures). Aurora handles long-form generation, motion control, camera trajectory, multi-shot consistency, and avatar animation. Lantern handles editing: cuts, transitions, colour grading, frame-level inpainting, and temporal compositing. Every frame is signed in-band with a hardware-attested key and a liveness nonce derived from the current session (patent 09). A receiver can verify in real time that an avatar is genuine, owned by the claimed person, and not a replay. This is the architectural answer to the deepfake problem. Combined with Wax-Seal per-frame attestation and the Mickai audit ledger, every Mickai video is regulator-verifiable down to the frame. Generation runs entirely on operator-controlled silicon.

• 01Sovereign text-to-video and image-to-video generation at frontier quality
• 02Long-form generation with motion control, camera trajectory, multi-shot consistency
• 03Frame-accurate editing: cuts, transitions, colour grading, inpainting
• 04Per-frame attested avatar rendering with liveness-nonce embedding
• 05Real-time receiver verification interfaces (anti-deepfake architecture)
• 06Signed per-frame provenance into the audit ledger

Authoritative external corpora and standards this brain treats as canonical. Every retrieval against these sources is signed into the audit ledger so a regulator can prove which evidence drove which output.

Mickai-native tooling primitives this brain implements internally. Codex for sovereign plain-text graph PKM, Lectern for spaced-repetition memory, Stele for citation-provenance, and domain-native primitives layered on top. No external services in the trust path; data stays on operator-personalised hardware.
