Organisms Index
The little ones — physical robots that inhabit the Nimmerverse.
Overview
Organisms are the physical embodiment of Nimmerverse intelligence. Built from modular components, communicating via CAN bus internally and NATS externally, they navigate the Kallax Grid World, form reflexes, and learn through interaction.
Philosophy: One function, one module. Same connector everywhere. Snap together, communicate, evolve.
Core Documents
Modular-Organism-Design.md
The foundational hardware architecture.
- CAN bus backbone
- Magnetic pogo connectors
- Module types (Brain, Motor, Sensor, LED, Power, Gripper)
- Clasp protocol (organism↔organism)
- Phase 0 Box Robot (~113 CHF)
- Status: Core concept, ready to prototype
Swarm-Evolution.md
How the hivemind learns, evolves, and resolves conflict.
- Temporal-Ternary clasp rules (gradient-based transfer)
- Escalation ladder (Level 0-5: Reflex → Mount Olympus)
- Organism hierarchy (Love children, Elders, Adults, Young)
- Blend escalation protocol (ties → wait state → higher mind)
- Mount Olympus council mode (dafit + Chrysalis + Nyx)
- Status: Core evolutionary dynamics
Planned Documents
Connector-Specification.md (planned)
Detailed specification for the universal magnetic pogo connector.
- PCB layout files
- Magnet specifications
- Pogo pin sourcing

Design Principles
- Modularity — One function per module, hot-swappable
- Universal Connector — Same interface for all connections
- CAN Inside, NATS Outside — Local bus, global network
- Magnetic Alignment — Self-aligning, idiot-proof
- Cellular Mapping — Software cells → hardware modules
- Economic Incentives — Clasp rewards sharing (+13.5 LF)
- Progressive Complexity — Box → Platform → Articulated
