Recipes Overview

Recipes

This section contains practical, copy-paste-ready patterns for common MindFry use cases. Each recipe demonstrates a specific cognitive behavior.

🤖 Chatbot Memory Conversation context that naturally fades over time, keeping recent exchanges vivid while old history becomes hazy.

🧠 PTSD Simulator Model trauma responses where trigger words cause amplified, rigid reactions while suppressing related content.

📈 Zeitgeist Watcher Track trending topics by filtering only high-energy memories, surfacing what's currently 'hot'.

Recipe Structure

Each recipe follows a consistent format:

1. The Problem: What cognitive behavior are we modeling?
2. The Pattern: MindFry primitives used (bonds, decay, mood)
3. The Code: Working TypeScript implementation
4. The Insight: Why MindFry makes this natural

Core Primitives Reference

Before diving into recipes, here’s a quick reference of MindFry primitives:

Primitive	Purpose	Example
lineage.create	Create a memory	{ key: 'topic', energy: 0.8 }
lineage.stimulate	Add energy (cascade)	{ key: 'topic', delta: 0.5 }
bond.connect	Link memories	{ from, to, strength, polarity }
system.setMood	Adjust accessibility	0.8 (euphoric)
query.neighbors	Find connected memories	Key lookup
