Design Decisions
The rationale behind key architectural choices — split by topic. Each directory covers one major design domain, with individual files per concept.
- Foundation — non-negotiable identity, single agent, unified memory, Org-mode as AST, homoiconicity
- The Two Brains — probabilistic-deterministic split, four pillars, dispatcher as learning system
- Safety & Self-Preservation — self-preservation, type-level gates, layered signal authentication
- The Symbolic Engine — five options, chosen path, gate bootstrap, cardinality policies, ontology, Merkle DAG, fact interface
- Knowledge Sources — Wikidata as entity backbone, MOMo empirical validation
- Implementation Properties — performance, provenance chain as product
- Engineering Infrastructure — REPL, cybernetic loop, observability, literate programming, MCP, token economics, time awareness
- Validation — Whitehead, McCarthy, Marcus, CREST, competitive argument
- Open Questions — unresolved design decisions
- Relation to Existing Architecture
