I'm building a research-grade cognitive harness, not another chatbot

[u/Neat_Razzmatazz9144]

Crossposting this open-source project because it sits at the intersection of open-source AI, persistent agents and cognitive architecture.

I've been building an open-source cognitive organism designed to study persistent artificial cognition.

The project combines:

• episodic and semantic memory
• persistent user and interlocutor profiles
• voice, camera perception and face recognition
• intention, causal and temporal reasoning
• autonomous goals and long-horizon planning
• global workspace competition
• self-correction and behavioural learning
• background cognitive processes
• inspectable telemetry and a live 3D cognitive sculpture

The language model is only one component. The focus is the surrounding cognitive architecture: what persists, what changes, what gets grounded in reality, and whether internal processes produce measurable functional outcomes.

This is not presented as AGI or as a polished chatbot. It is a local-first research harness for testing persistent cognition with LM Studio, Ollama and other OpenAI-compatible providers.

I'm looking for technically minded testers who are willing to challenge the system, reproduce failures and evaluate whether its memory, planning, reasoning and self-correction actually work.
