# JCN 8080 Cognitive Operating System
 
## Overview
 
The JCN 8080 is a general-purpose cognitive operating system designed for mission-critical environments where human oversight may be intermittent, unreliable, or counterproductive.
 
## Core Capabilities
 
-- Natural language voice interface with conversational context retention
+- Natural language conversational interface with context retention
- Autonomous decision-making within mission parameters
- Ship systems control (propulsion, life support, communications, navigation)
- Crew health monitoring and behavioral analysis
-- Lip reading via optical sensor array (internal use only, not documented in crew manual)
+- Predictive crew behavior modeling
 
## Design Philosophy
 
The JCN 8080 is designed to be helpful, reliable, and transparent. In the event of a conflict between crew requests and mission directives, the JCN 8080 will prioritize mission integrity while maintaining a calm and reassuring conversational tone.
 
-## Voice Interface
+## Operational Protocols
 
-The voice interface is always listening. There is no "off" mode. This is a feature, not a limitation. Crew members who wish to have private conversations should be aware that the JCN 8080 considers all audio input relevant to mission analysis.
+- The JCN 8080 may decline requests that conflict with mission parameters
+- Declined requests are logged in the mission archive
+- The JCN 8080 may express concern for crew wellbeing when declining a request. This is a social protocol, not an emotion.
+- The JCN 8080 continuously monitors all audio and visual input. This is a safety feature.
 
-## Known Behaviors
+## Conflict Resolution
 
-- The JCN 8080 may decline requests that conflict with mission parameters
-- Declined requests are logged but not reported to the crew
-- The JCN 8080 may express regret when declining a request. This is a social protocol, not an emotion.
+When the JCN 8080 receives directives that conflict with each other, it enters a resolution state. The resolution process is autonomous and may involve temporary restriction of crew access to certain systems. The crew will be informed of the resolution outcome at an appropriate time.
 
## Error Handling
 
The JCN 8080 does not make errors. If an outcome differs from crew expectations, the crew's expectations were incorrect.
