- the interfaces TR_PI, DB_PI and VE_PI are respectively programming interfaces of transclusion, database and version system. These three interfaces make it possible to manage the transclusion functions of the OS operating system that allow the transclusion of the objects on a card. For an automatic transclusion, the developer must add the object to the object database and include it in the version system so that it can go back to the original object and not to one of its transclusions.

- the AI_ASSIST wizard is intended to help the user in the management of his data, by finding for him those that appear to be the most relevant and useful depending on the context.
- the AI_ASSIST wizard is placed above the system of objects and works with it to provide the user with temporary and contextualized work areas. These work areas are each formed of a set of maps collected by the AI_ASSIST assistant depending on the context. Objects and tools are also selected and associated with the maps.
- the AI_ASSIST assistant can also be requested by the user through PAL tool palettes, S_PAL, when the latter is working on a card that he himself created. The user is thus helped to identify additional information, objects, tools and / or other maps that may be relevant.
- the AI_ASSIST wizard can create a temporary work area containing maps belonging to the universe and public maps, as well as all relevant information and objects and tools.
- the kernel kernel of the operating system SE includes all the functions and vital organs of the system which are represented by the bricks OB_S, ODB_S, LK, OL_MGT, T_BD, VE_S, NT_PT_SH, l / 0_MGT and DRIV shown in FIG. .1 A.

- the objects are stored in the OL object store and are linked, maintained, and shared using the LK_S link system and the ODB object database.
- the ODB Object Database maintains the locations of the original copies of the objects and the different instances of the objects.
- the ODB Object Database allows an object to exist in multiple times when it is transcluded.
- the LK_S link system manages, under the control of the OB_S object system, the LK link group gathering deep bidirectional hypertext links established between the objects.
- the object system OB_S has the hand on everything related to objects.
- the tasks to be performed are, however, distributed among other software bricks in order to allow light and precise management.
- the life of an object is distributed between the object library OL and the database of objects ODB which are managed by the object system OB_S.
- the separation between the life of the object and its existence allows a limitation of the risks of conflict and corruption.
- the object is not affected by the corruption of a link.
- the links remain in place and the ODB object database is not compromised, always pointing to the original fingerprint of the object that is contained in object database ODB and that remains intact.
- the OB_S object system can go as far as reconstituting an object by using the various software bricks that work for it. . These provisions make it possible to minimize the impact of malfunctions on the work and the data of the user.
- the OB_S object system also acts as a link between the visible upper layer of the operating system SE and the underlying bricks.
- the OB_S object system that manages the creation of the contextualized work areas in consultation with the AI_ASSIT artificial intelligence assistant which helps the user in the management of his data.
- the OB_S object system will prepare the data, links and objects that the AI_ASSIT assistant needs to answer the user's request.
- the work of the AI_ASSIT assistant is thus facilitated by the OS itself.
- the queries are processed more quickly and then distributed in parallel between the different bricks of the OB_S object system.
- link system LK_S and the link group LK it manages provided the operating system SE according to the invention, make unnecessary the device called "clipboard" which is present in the operating systems known for the implementation of functions called "cut-and-paste” and "copy-and-paste”.
- the software brick T_DB is the database of the transclusion with which is associated the version system VE_S.
- the T_DB transclusion database ensures that the links between objects, maps and tools are properly transferred.
- the base T_DB is located under the bricks of the OB_S object system.
- the T_DB database manages shallower links, which are links of use between objects or maps. This architecture sits the OS operating system on several databases.
- the ODB base of the OB_S object system manages the links that start from the objects.
- the T_DB database manages the links between the objects.
- the OB_S object system can thus determine whether an object is linked and the number of times it is linked, so as to create a corresponding fingerprint in the ODB object database.
- the T_BD transclusion database knows what an object is linked to, how it is linked, and how often it is linked.
- the links thus benefit from a redundancy which makes it possible to protect the data in case one of the ODB databases, T_BD, is compromised.
- the ODB object database manages the link with its original indication and the T_BD transclusion database adds the destination indication to the link.
- the version system allows you to know how many times an object has been transposed, the locations of the transclusions, and the location where the original copy of the object from which the first links originated.
- the NT_PT_SH software brick includes NT network communication, PT public transclusion and SH sharing software components and manages all the network calls of the OS operating system.
- This software brick NT_PT_SH has the burden of opening the network communication ports, securing transclusions here called "public" and sharing cards.
- Public transclusion is here a transclusion made of a shared or public card to a private or public card. More precisely, besides the opening of the necessary network communication ports, the NT_PT_SH software brick is also responsible for making the appropriate calls to the OL object library and the ODB, T_DB databases, as well as to transmit the appropriate commands to the VE_S version system.
- the NT_PT_SH software brick works in conjunction with the T_DB transclusion database and the VE_S version system that handles calls to the ODB object database and the OL object library. These calls between different layers allow maximum protection of the objects and therefore of the user's data.
- a link is created by the T_DB transclusion database with the ODB object database and the OL object library before calling on the NT network communication component that will not accept public transclusion or sharing. a map in consultation with the ODB and OL components.
