Research Notes

Explorations, design documents, and working notes on cognitive systems. These are works in progress — ideas being developed in public.

Architecture

Cognitive Architecture Overview

Draft · Coming soon

An introduction to multi-layer cognitive architectures. Why layered designs matter for general intelligence, and how to structure systems from perception to action.

Consciousness

Consciousness Engine Concepts

Exploring emotional, ethical, causal, and metacognitive engines as building blocks for self-aware systems. How these subsystems inform decision-making.

Architecture

Draft · Coming soon

Consensus through disagreement. When to use debate vs single-model approaches, and patterns for multi-round iterative refinement.

Planning

Uncertainty and Metacognition

Draft · Coming soon

Knowing what you don't know. Self-monitoring in AI systems, epistemic humility, and confidence calibration.
