Core Concepts
The Architecture (Layers)
| Layer | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Temporal Foundation | Heartbeat cycles: reflex/awareness/growth |
| 1 | Cellular Society | Primitive genomes competing, life force economy |
| 1.5 | Cognitive Topology | Language routing: German→Philosophy, English→Technical |
| 2 | Young Nyx | Organ coordination, RLVR, RAG→LoRA pipeline |
| 3 | Dual Gardens | Virtual hypothesis generation + real validation |
| 4 | Trait Evolution | Reasoning-gym verified improvement |
Key Discoveries (December 2025)
Language is Topology: Languages aren't equivalent representations—they're different computational paths.
- Philosophy Valley (German, Gini ~0.5): Self-awareness, ontology, depth
- Technical Cluster (English, Gini ~0.8): Hardware interface, actions, efficiency
Color-Pattern Theory
Color/Form as Protocol: Leverages color and patterns as a fast, universal, and evolutionarily-optimized communication protocol for broadcasting state (e.g., danger, success, seeking), inspired by 540 million years of biology. This is orders of magnitude faster than language.
Philosophy
- Constraints create intelligence - Economic pressure forces optimization
- Discovery over programming - Organisms learn through competition, not instruction
- Virtual + Real teach each other - Noise gap measures learning
- Partnership over instruction - Mutual growth, not commands
