# Operating System

The operating system of the Fair Math FHE Computer is built on a blockchain infrastructure, providing a decentralized framework for resource management and task allocation. It functions as a distributed scheduler, orchestrating workloads across heterogeneous actors based on their computational capabilities and supported instruction subsets. Leveraging blockchain technology, the system ensures deterministic resource allocation, verifiable exe- cution, and secure state transitions. This approach enables transparent interaction between actors, immutability of task assignments, and seamless integration of new computational nodes into the network.
