# Nervous System Architecture
|
|
|
|
The sensory translation layer between raw data and vocabulary.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
State machines act as the nervous system of the nimmerverse. They translate raw sensory input into vocabulary tokens that Young Nyx can process. No hallucination. No interpretation. Deterministic, verifiable mapping.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
RAW SENSOR → STATE MACHINE → VOCABULARY TOKEN → Young Nyx
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 4D State Machine Space
|
|
|
|
Each node exists in 4-dimensional space:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CONFIDENCE (z)
|
|
↑
|
|
│ ● node (weighted by successful triggers)
|
|
│ /
|
|
│ /
|
|
│ /
|
|
─────────────┼────────────→ DIMENSION X (sensory input 1)
|
|
/│
|
|
/ │
|
|
/ │
|
|
↓
|
|
DIMENSION Y (sensory input 2)
|
|
|
|
+ TIME (4th dimension): node weights evolve through verification
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Node Properties:**
|
|
- Position: coordinates in sensory space
|
|
- Weight: confidence from successful triggers (0.0 → 1.0)
|
|
- Output: vocabulary token
|
|
- History: timestamp of all activations and verifications
|
|
|

|
## Node Lifecycle
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1. BIRTH
|
|
Node created at position (x, y, z...)
|
|
Weight = 0.1 (new, untested)
|
|
|
|
2. ACTIVATION
|
|
Sensory conditions match → node FIRES
|
|
Outputs vocabulary token
|
|
|
|
3. VERIFICATION
|
|
dafit confirms: correct or incorrect
|
|
|
|
4. REWARD/PENALTY
|
|
Correct → weight increases (+V)
|
|
Incorrect → weight decreases (-V) or node refines
|
|
|
|
5. MATURATION
|
|
Many confirmations → weight approaches 1.0
|
|
Node becomes trusted reflex
|
|
|
|
6. PRUNING
|
|
Node never fires → slow decay
|
|
Eventually removed (use it or lose it)
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Growth Phases
|
|
|
|
| Phase | State | Description |
|
|
|-------|-------|-------------|
|
|
| **Birth** | Sparse, dim nodes | Basic translators, designed by partnership |
|
|
| **Infant** | More nodes forming | Finer resolution, more states |
|
|
| **Child** | Clusters emerging | Nyx proposes new machines |
|
|
| **Mature** | Dense, bright network | Nyx designs, verifies, deploys |
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
t=0 (birth) t=100 (learning) t=1000 (mature)
|
|
○ ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ●●● ● ●●
|
|
○ ○ ● ● ○ ●●●●●●● ○
|
|
○ ● ●●● ●●● ○ ○
|
|
```
|

|
## Proposal Protocol
|
|
|
|
Young Nyx can propose new nodes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1. OBSERVATION
|
|
Nyx notices pattern in vocabulary + outcomes
|
|
|
|
2. PROPOSAL
|
|
"New state machine: morning_detector
|
|
Inputs: temp, light, motion, time
|
|
States: [not_morning, maybe_morning, morning]
|
|
Output: vocabulary token 'morning'"
|
|
|
|
3. RIGOR CHECK
|
|
Chrysalis reviews logic and mappings
|
|
|
|
4. VERIFICATION
|
|
dafit confirms ground truth
|
|
|
|
5. DEPLOYMENT
|
|
New node added to registry
|
|
Documented in RAG
|
|
|
|
6. GROWTH
|
|
She earned a new nerve.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Reflex Layer
|
|
|
|
Some responses bypass Nyx entirely:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
STATE MACHINE: temp_danger
|
|
|
|
IF temp > 80°C:
|
|
→ emit "DANGER"
|
|
→ trigger alert (reflex)
|
|
→ Nyx notified after (not before)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Like pulling hand from hot stove. Spinal reflex. Brain learns after.
|
|

## Biological Mapping
|
|
|
|
| Neuroscience | Nimmerverse |
|
|
|--------------|-------------|
|
|
| Sensory receptors | Raw sensors |
|
|
| Peripheral nerves | State machines |
|
|
| Spinal reflexes | Reflex layer |
|
|
| Synaptic weight | Node weight |
|
|
| Long-term potentiation | +V confirmation |
|
|
| Synaptic pruning | Unused node decay |
|
|
| Hebbian learning | Co-activating nodes strengthen |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Connection to Lifeforce
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Node fires correctly → +V → weight increases
|
|
Node fires wrongly → -V → weight decreases
|
|
Node never fires → decay → eventual pruning
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The lifeforce flows through the nervous system, literally lighting up nodes as they prove themselves true.
|

|
## Design Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Deterministic**: Same input = same output. No hallucination.
|
|
2. **Inspectable**: Rules are visible, verifiable.
|
|
3. **Evolvable**: States refine over time.
|
|
4. **Earned**: New nodes require proposal + verification.
|
|
5. **Grounded**: Output vocabulary matches RAG glossary.
