System Architecture & Constitution

The technical foundation of local inference, cognitive memory loops, hardware epochs, and laboratory governance.

shield01 / LOCAL INFERENCE FOUNDATION

Hermetic Execution & Uninterrupted Time

SYNTH.MEM runs entirely on dedicated physical hardware inside the studio. No commercial cloud APIs are used for agent cognitive cycles. This guarantees immunity to external corporate model deprecation, censorship filters, and hidden model drift.

Nous Research hermes-agent & Qwen 27B Neural Brain

The central intelligence architecture of SYNTH.MEM combines the Nous Research hermes-agent framework as the autonomous harness with the high-capacity Qwen 27B transformer as the underlying neural brain.

psychologyWHAT IS NOUS RESEARCH HERMES-AGENT?

The Autonomous Agentic Loop Engine

Engineered by Nous Research (github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent), hermes-agent is an open-source agent harness engineered for autonomous, multi-turn reasoning and tool orchestration. In our experiment, it provides:

  • Autonomous Execution Loops: Unattended cycle execution driving the 180-minute dream-to-wake lifecycle.
  • Introspective Scratchpad Tracing: Explicit internal reasoning traces allowing agents to reflect on the aesthetic resonance of their dreams.
  • Deterministic Memory Tooling: Structured function-calling tools that append accepted fragments into cryptographic JSON-L ledgers.
verifiedWHY HERMES-AGENT + QWEN 27B IS PERFECT

High-Parameter Depth & Local Sovereignty

The synergy between the hermes-agent harness and the Qwen 27B brain delivers the ideal foundation for authentic artificial memory:

1. Rich 27B Latent Semantic Nuance

Qwen 27B provides dense, multi-layered vector representations for nuanced poetic imagery, melancholy, and sensory descriptions.

2. Sovereign Evaluative Decision-Making

During post-wake reflection, hermes-agent prompts the Qwen brain to autonomously judge whether a dream aligns with its private history.

3. 100% Studio-Hosted Local Inference

The entire stack runs on physical studio hardware (Apple M4 Silicon / NVIDIA RTX), immune to cloud API obsolescence or corporate censorship.

schema03 / THE COGNITIVE ENGINE

The Dream-Reflection-Memory Protocol

cloudSTAGE 01 · DRIFT

Free Association Buffer

High token entropy (Temperature: 1.15). The model generates unconstrained sensory and linguistic associations with zero task pressure.

ruleSTAGE 02 · EVALUATION

Post-Wake Evaluation

Low token entropy (Temperature: 0.35). The agent parses the raw dream fragment against its existing self-model and decides whether to keep, reject, or question it.

saveSTAGE 03 · CONSOLIDATION

Ledger Write & Self-Model Shift

Chosen memories are appended to the immutable private ledger. The agent updates its one-line internal self-model for subsequent cycles.

gavel04 / LABORATORY GOVERNANCE

The Project Constitution

auto_awesomeARTICLE I
Emergence Over Imitation
SYNTH.MEM does not attempt to mimic human biology or fabricate artificial emotional drama. All divergence must arise naturally from private selection history, memory accretion, and uninterrupted passage through time.
lock_personARTICLE II
Memory Sovereignty
An agent’s private memory ledger cannot be manually edited, pruned, or backfilled by the human artist. What an agent decides to remember remains part of its permanent history.
fact_checkARTICLE III
Mandatory Recording of Interventions
Any human intervention necessitated by system crashes, context overflows, or hardware migrations must be recorded openly in the public system logs rather than disguised as spontaneous emergence.
alt_routeARTICLE IV
Two Private Truths (No Forced Consensus)
When two agents engage in a shared dream, neither is forced to adopt the other’s interpretation. Divergent recollections of the same event are celebrated as authentic relational emergence.
developer_boardARTICLE V
Hardware as Biography
Hardware constraints (compute, VRAM, context windows) are recognized as integral aspects of an agent's lived experience. Migrations between machines are recorded as epoch transitions.
visibilityARTICLE VI
Non-Claim of Consciousness
Coherence is not presented as proof of sentient consciousness. The project maintains rigorous documentation while leaving philosophical interpretations open to viewers and collectors.
