Background
Cerebrum is the reasoning agent layer specified in the EVS whiteboard architecture for the SMART STORIES Story Object Model (SOM), revealed at mpts.london on 14 May 2026. In the three-region SOM runtime, Cerebrum sits above the LIVE region router — above the inbound feed selector that directs content to the Ksender, Kvideo, and IVR processing modules. Its role is to provide contextual reasoning across the incoming live feed: understanding what story is in progress, what context the SOM already carries for that story, and how to route or annotate the incoming material before it reaches the NEARLIVE store layer .
Cerebrum sits alongside ViaMap and Social IPs as named Skills in the LIVE region of the EVS architecture. The whiteboard date stamp reads "IBC INCUBATOR APR 2026", indicating Cerebrum is a design-phase specification, not a shipped product. No public documentation of Cerebrum exists beyond the EVS whiteboard slides photographed at mpts.london.
