Consciousness Model

Consciousness Model

MindFry implements a computational model of consciousness states.

The Three States

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> LUCID: energy > τ + 0.2
    [*] --> DREAMING: τ < energy < τ + 0.2
    [*] --> DORMANT: energy < τ

    LUCID --> DREAMING: decay
    DREAMING --> DORMANT: decay
    DORMANT --> DREAMING: stimulate
    DREAMING --> LUCID: stimulate

LUCID

Active, conscious memories. Readily accessible through normal queries.

DREAMING

Latent memories in a liminal state. May surface through association or priming.

DORMANT

Deep subconscious memories. Accessible only via Executive Override (forensic mode).

Mood Dynamics

Mood is a continuous value from 0 (depressive) to 1 (euphoric).

Mood	State	Effect
0.0	Depressive	High threshold, few memories accessible
0.5	Neutral	Balanced accessibility
1.0	Euphoric	Low threshold, most memories accessible

External Modulation

MindFry’s mood can be set externally (e.g., by NABU cognitive motor):

await brain.system.setMood(0.8) // Euphoric

Personality Octet

The 8-dimensional personality vector:

Dimension	Description
Openness	Receptivity to new information
Curiosity	Drive to explore
Preservation	Resistance to decay
Aggression	Propagation intensity
Sociability	Bond formation tendency
Caution	Threshold for action
Creativity	Novel association formation
Empathy	Resonance with external signals

Each dimension is a Trit: +1 (high), 0 (neutral), -1 (low).

The Observer Effect

In quantum physics, observation affects the observed. In MindFry:

• Every GET adds +0.01 energy (reinforcement)
• Bypass with NO_SIDE_EFFECTS flag for pure observation

This creates natural memory consolidation:

• Frequently accessed → Stronger
• Neglected → Weaker
