simself
A wardrobe, not a program. Discrete modules — a constitution, a gate, an atlas, twenty axes of identity — that other agents can wear. Docs as markdown, source as Python. 363 files, 137 of them documents.
Sheaves — four, typed and bounded
Each sheaf holds one kind of thing and refuses the others.
| sheaf | what it holds |
|---|---|
| TOPOLOGY | geometric substrate |
| MLTR | machine language technical register. tightly bounded. |
| MTE | the edge. English and 193 other tongues outside; MLTR inside. |
| CODING | github / arxiv / hf, hourly, by stars |
MTE is not a translator. It runs the same operation the whole way: ambiguous human language in, unambiguous bounded form out, meaning restored rather than approximated. The lexicon is generative — 30,000 words × ~5 senses is 150,000 nodes, and it is buildable because English is constructed, not tabulated. john jumped is [name verb]; so is the compiler halted.
Operators — four, plus a mini-LLM
codingOperator coding sheaf pulls, hourly, by stars
robotOperator godot sim, single arm, dual-speed real time
languageOperator MTE - English <-> MLTR
Speaker/ListenerOO MTE + voice
Mini-LLM real-time and fast. glue-checking, meta-cognition,
reflex output. CONSTRUCTED from SNR-selected signal,
not distilled. PSB + MMM, not tokens.
Tiny harness SimSelf calls the Mini-LLM through this
The fast one reflexes. The slow one decides.
A real-time Mini-LLM brain and a slow core brain, running at the same time on different jobs.
An area that cannot fail is not an area.
Every exam area is mutation-tested, so a passing grade means the test can actually detect a wrong answer.
The gate, the exam, the twenty axes
Two inequalities
A veto, not a score. It stops an action; it does not rank one.
Fifteen skills, written to be worn
An agent that clones this repo can read a skill and adopt it. That is the intended use.
Constitution, gate, identity
simself-constitution, simself-gate, simself-identity, simself-atlas-exam, simself-publish.
One skill per school
far-art-sheet, far-film-shot, far-music-track, far-writing-voice, far-games-mechanic.
Engineering discipline
fieldcore-stalk, fieldcore-tiny-core, frozen-experiment-discipline, mltr-prompt-jsx.
What is dark
We say this on the public page because a system that reports its own unwired parts is worth more than one that claims everything works.
Written, in the repo, connected to nothing. The learning loop is unwired — loop.MainLoop, selfcore, coding_operator_object, robotic_field_core, training_bridge, m1_m0_negotiation and modulator are present, readable, and never called.
