🚀 Tannhäuser - A Beam Kernel Odyssey

"Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..."

🌌 Project Vision

Tannhäuser aims to forge a new paradigm in operating systems by fusing the Linux kernel with BEAM's distributed soul. Imagine:

• 🌐 Transparent Inter-Instance Communion
  Nodes connecting like neurons in a cosmic brain
• 🖥️ Distributed Terminal Consciousness
  Shell sessions flowing between machines like shared memories
• 📂 File System Entanglement
  Data existing simultaneously across the fabric of nodes
• ⚡ BEAM's Immortal Heartbeat
  Fault tolerance that laughs at supernovas

%% The system's mantra:
{kernel, survive, 
    fun() -> 
        [HealMyself, 
         FindOthers, 
         NeverDie] 
    end}.

🔥 Why Tannhäuser?

Traditional kernels are lonely gods. Tannhäuser proposes:

"A pantheon of BEAM processes riding Linux's shoulders -
Where each I/O operation becomes a message,
Each file descriptor a gen_server,
And process isolation becomes... optional."

💡 Core Alchemy:

• � Linux kernel modules speaking Erlish
• 🔄 Live code upgrades for running kernels
• 🌗 Dual reality: POSIX compliance meets actor model
• 🛡️ Quantum-resistant process handshakes

🛸 Installation Ritual

For those who dare gaze into the abyss:

# Clone the Gate
git clone https://github.com/eigr/tannhauser.git
cd tannhauser

# Assemble the Sacred Tools:
make deps  # Will summon Erlang/OTP 25+, Linux 6.x+ 
make beam_kernel  # Forge the hybrid core

# Initiate the Communion:
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel dist/tannhauser.vmlinuz

Prerequisites:

• 👽 GCC 12+ (patched with BEAM awareness)
• 🔮 Elixir 1.14+ (blessed by Armstrong's ghost)
• ⚛️ 8GB+ RAM (more dimensions require more space)

🌠 Blade Runner Epiphany

As the system boots, terminals display:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
Time to die."

– Roy Batty, Nexus-6 (2019 "Blade Runner")

This OS ensures no moment is ever lost.
