+# Agent Architecture & Design
+
+This page summarizes the intended design of Mycelium Agents, based on the public descriptions on the main site. The details may evolve as we approach the 2026 launch.
+
+## High‑Level View
+
+From the **Agent Design** and **Advantages** sections:
+
+- Each agent **runs entirely inside your environment**.  
+- Agents **communicate peer‑to‑peer** across trusted nodes.  
+- Agents **access data locally** without exposing it to external providers.  
+- Agents are **portable**, moving with your infrastructure rather than with a single cloud vendor.
+
+Conceptually:
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A[Your Devices & Nodes] --> B[Agent Runtime]
+    B --> C[Local Data & Tools]
+    B --> D[Mycelium Network]
+    D --> E[Other Agents & Nodes]
+```
+
+- The **runtime** executes agent logic.  
+- Agents load and store data through local backends (files, QSFS, databases).  
+- Communication uses **Mycelium Network** between environments.
+
+## Core Properties
+
+### Local Execution
+
+From the "Local Execution" highlight:
+
+> *“Agents run entirely inside your environment. Models, logic, and memory stay within your own trusted hardware, never behind third‑party APIs.”*
+
+Implications:
+
+- You choose where agents run: laptop, homelab, edge cluster, or VDC.  
+- No requirement to send prompts or data to centralized AI APIs.  
+- Compliance and sovereignty become much easier to reason about.
+
+### Mesh Connectivity
+
+From the "Mesh Connectivity" highlight:
+
+> *“They communicate peer‑to‑peer across trusted nodes. Agents form direct encrypted paths between environments, without relays or central servers.”*
+
+This leverages **Mycelium Network** to:
+
+- Give agents a global, encrypted address space.  
+- Enable cross‑site coordination (home ↔ office ↔ cloud ↔ edge).  
+- Avoid central bottlenecks and single points of failure.
+
+### Private Data Access
+
+From the "Private Data Access" highlight:
+
+> *“They use your data without sending it elsewhere. Your datasets, embeddings, and context never leave your boundaries.”*
+
+Design goals:
+
+- Agents can work directly against local file systems, QSFS, and internal services.  
+- Sensitive inputs and outputs remain in environments you choose.  
+- Remote calls (if any) are explicit and policy‑controlled.
+
+### Portability
+
+From the "Portability" highlight:
+
+> *“They move with you, not with a cloud provider. Agents follow your devices, networks, and workflows, remaining sovereign across every location.”*
+
+Over time the framework aims to allow:
+
+- Re‑deploying agents between different nodes and VDCs.  
+- Maintaining state while moving execution closer to data or users.  
+- Using heterogeneous infrastructure (homelab + hoster nodes + VDCs) as one fabric.
+
+## Example Deployment Topologies
+
+### Single‑Node Local Agent
+
+- Agent runtime on your workstation.  
+- Local data and tools only.  
+- Mycelium Network used for optional remote access.
+
+### Multi‑Node Mesh
+
+- Agents running on several nodes (e.g. laptop, homelab, hoster node).  
+- P2P coordination over Mycelium.  
+- Some agents specialized for data access, others for orchestration.
+
+### VDC‑Backed Agent Cluster
+
+- Runtime deployed into a **VDC** as a set of Kubernetes workloads.  
+- Agents expose services reachable only via Mycelium Network.  
+- QSFS and other Mycelium components used for storage.
+
+## Security & Trust (Preview)
+
+From the "Security Architecture" and related messaging:
+
+- **Provable sovereignty** – Assign workloads to trusted zones and verify state with cryptographic proofs.  
+- **Autonomous zero‑trust** – Identity, policy, and attestation enforced continuously.  
+- **Planetary‑scale resilience** – Mesh routing around failures, including regional outages.
+
+As the framework evolves, expect more detailed specifications around:
+
+- Identity & authentication between agents.  
+- Policy models for where and how agents may run.  
+- Auditability and observability of agent behavior.
+
+## Status
+
+The architecture described here is intentionally high‑level and forward‑looking. For timelines and how to prepare, see **[Overview](/ai-agent-framework/overview)** and **[Getting Ready for Agents](/ai-agent-framework/getting-ready)**.
