Andy Dixon	6fdc3908f5	feat(research): ablations, broadcast and self-model experiments, counterfactuals ... A framework for testing functional properties of the architecture (Part C). None of it claims consciousness; every measure has an operational definition in research.Measures. - Ablations (attention, memory retrieval, affect, metacognition, commitments, volition, global workspace, curiosity, association, goals, narrative, notifications) and workspace overrides (force a matching candidate in or out of admission) live in a fork's cognitive configuration. Original minds refuse them on create and update; only snapshot restores may carry them, so they are part of the configuration digest. Excluded candidates are recorded with fate "excluded". - Self-model experiments override a fork's self-model (capabilities, identity, goals, knowledge gaps) without touching policy. When an action's effective policy disagrees with the self-model, cognition records a self_model_mismatch and corrects the entry; experiments report self-model accuracy and correction latency. - Counterfactual experiments replay a mind's recorded stimuli from a snapshot with chosen events omitted; the report lists what differed in beliefs, wants, intentions, memories, attention and capability decisions, in a form introspection can cite. - Experiments record a protocol (kind, independent variable, controlled variables, measures), per-variant volition, plan, downstream-by-category (events reachable from each stimulus through recorded links), introspection and self-model measures and event ranges; comparisons add want, intention and plan-capability overlap, measure ranges, a descriptive architecture share and a downstream delta; reproducibility is labelled against the previous run of the same definition. - research.Agency computes want→intention, intention→action, abandonment, commitment fulfilment and conflict, blocked intentions, replanning, outcome success and introspection accuracy; MetacognitiveCalibration relates confidence and expressed uncertainty in replies to later belief revision, with Brier scores for each half of the period. - The sandbox test harness gains volition, planning, agency and research but not the motivation hook, whose wall-clock decay would make replay comparisons timing-dependent.	2026-09-17 19:48:59 +01:00
Andy Dixon	03e2d7890a	feat(cognition): wanting, intending and acting inside the cognitive cycle ... Volition and planning now run as part of cognition (PLAN §8.2 item 3): - A volition hook derives wants after each cycle from what it perceived and produced, satisfies answer wants when a reply is sent, raises due, overdue, expired and conflicting commitments, and expires faded wants. Events produced by earlier cycles are not re-derived. - An intend process proposes deciding about the strongest undecided wants; the candidate competes for the workspace, so attention gates what the mind decides to pursue. The handler makes value tensions explicit (caution against disruptive writes, privacy against reading personal data), resolves them with recorded scores, runs deterministic formation with commitments, policy preview, goals and values, records the decision whatever it is, and plans a formed intention in the same transaction. Operator requests carry their own weight in formation. - Explicit requests in conversation ("restart <unit>", "logs for <unit>", "fetch <url>") become wants with proposed means instead of direct invocations; the reply says the request was recorded and that acting depends on commitments and policy. - The executor is woken after commits, runs in a scheduler-owned loop and reacts to the event bus: a new commitment tightens or abandons affected intentions (withdrawing their pending approvals), a weakened assumption or a finished goal triggers reconsideration. A tightened plan may reuse its strategy; a failed one may not. - Metacognition gains volition checks: strong wants repeatedly set aside, intentions with no recorded reason, intentions a commitment forbids, commitments that cannot be kept, churn, repeated failed execution, cost outweighing value, and intentions that outlived their goal. - A plan model role and prompt let a model propose decompositions that the planner validates. Ablations are a fork-only configuration field. - Approvals required by an intention are described as coming from a commitment or value constraint. The expectation after an approved action is linked to the execution event, not the request. - The wants.values column of the unreleased migration 0026 is renamed value_keys: VALUES is reserved and the generic snapshot restore does not quote identifiers. - The hostile-output security test now uses a message that asks for no action, because an operator's "status of <unit>" is legitimately a read-only status check.	2026-09-15 21:04:07 +01:00
