Layer 5: The Strategic Cortex
A self-learning core for strategy synthesis.
What It Is
The Assetro Cortex is not just an analytics module, but a powerful multi-agent system. It can be envisioned as an infinitely scalable* army of quants conducting quantitative analysis 24/7. Unlike the lower-level agents, the Cortex is composed of an ensemble of the highest-performing models whose sole task is to find non-obvious connections and synthesize pure alpha from the chaos of data.

Key Functions of the Cortex
Data Synthesis: The Cortex continuously receives streams of verified data from the Continuity Engine and ESM. It doesn't just process this data; it constructs a dynamic map of cause-and-effect relationships, forming a holistic understanding of the situation.
Strategy Generation: Based on the constructed map, the Cortex develops and constantly adjusts comprehensive, diversified strategies. It defines not just entry points, but a complete plan of action, including "watchtowers" for monitoring.
Core Evolution: The agents that constitute the Cortex are constantly evolving. The system continuously experiments with different LLM configurations and architectures, while evolutionary algorithms identify and select the most effective combinations.
Why It Matters
The Cortex is a self-improving "strategy factory." Its competitive advantage is created by a dual feedback loop: it learns from the results of its forecasts while simultaneously improving the very agents that create those forecasts. This creates an exponentially growing, insurmountable competitive moat.
