Crystallizes the dual-brain architecture across all core documents: - Thalamus runs own neural network (governor) for resource allocation and reflexes - LLM (Qwen3.5-27B) repositioned as cortex - expensive, gated, called only when needed - Each NPC gets own process, own RL brain, Linux cgroups for resource steering - New: NPC grid architecture with curriculum training (progressive world richness) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
