Page-Oriented Modular Storage Engine — v1.0

Storage Substrate
for AI‑Native Workloads

Not a database. A storage engine. POMSE is the
page-oriented substrate beneath your AI stack—E9‑routed,
vector-native, crash-resilient, and built from the metal up in Rust.

Intelligent Routing

Every key lands in its optimal page — placed by a 9-state recursive dynamical system. No hash collisions. No hot shards. Self-optimizing placement that learns your access patterns.

Modular by Design

Every capability is a page. Slot them together. No bloat. No magic.

Vector Store

Native Embeddings

Store, index, and query embeddings at the storage level — no translation layer. Cosine, dot, L2 built in.

Log-First

Zero-Loss WAL

Append-only write-ahead log. Crash recovery is O(1). Every write accounted. No data loss, ever.

Pages

Variable-Size

No fixed block sizes. Logical pages adapt to your workload. E9 metadata rides on every page header.

Rust Core

Zero-Cost Abstraction

Pure Rust. No runtime. No GC. Every byte accounted. C FFI for integration into any stack.

HTTP / WS

Serve Mode

axum HTTP server with WebSocket push. REST API for all storage ops. Ready for distributed deployment.

TOML Config

Runtimeless Setup

Single TOML file defines your storage topology. No DSL, no YAML maze. Point, run, store.

Phase Complete

Core engine compiled, passing all tests. Production-ready substrate.
