BX-System vs. LangGraph: Kernel vs. Framework
LangGraph is a framework for building stateful agents. BX-System is a kernel that runs its own cycle and updates its weights without reprogramming.
What is the main difference?
LangGraph provides the graph structure for a developer to assemble. BX-System runs the cycle itself and updates its own weights. LangGraph is a toolkit; BX-System is an autonomous engine.
Can they be used together?
BX-System is a self-contained kernel. It does not require an external framework to manage its cycle. While concepts can overlap, BX-System does not depend on LangGraph.
Which one adapts without code changes?
The kernel. BX-System changes its strategy weights based on evidence. LangGraph requires the developer to write the adaptation logic in the application code.
How is state managed differently?
LangGraph uses a graph state that the developer defines. BX-System uses workflow context and memory state, which are managed internally by the cognitive memory engine.
How is verification handled?
BX-System has a built-in verification step that records a verdict and updates weights. In LangGraph, verification must be implemented as an explicit node by the developer.
Does LangGraph use strategy weights?
No. LangGraph is a framework for orchestrating flows. BX-System uses strategy weights to adapt behavior without rewriting the flow.
