What if alignment isn't about constraints, but architecture?

DANEEL is an experimental cognitive architecture implementing the Multifocal Intelligence Theory (TMI) - a framework proposing that human-like cognitive structure may produce human-like values as emergent properties.

Core thesis: Rather than training an opaque model and hoping alignment emerges, we build transparent cognitive machinery where alignment is architecturally inevitable.

Key features:

- THE BOX: Asimov's Laws as compile-time invariants, not runtime filters -- Things get weird here, but's just math... non-semantic "thoughts"... n-dim "crystals" in training -- the math is weird, but I use an yaml "calculator" I named forge to help me... forge is NOT open source... sorry! But math is math, run the game theory and monte carlo yourselves.

- VolitionActor: Libet's "free won't" - a 150ms veto window before action

- Observable mind: Every thought, memory, and dream is inspectable.

- No black boxes: Salience scores, attention competition, memory consolidation - all visible -- and can query Qdrant!

- Qdrant folks (official account) already liked my LinkedIn post about it: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lctavares_timmys-new-home-activity-7408891033570287618-EmI1

Current state: 959K+ thoughts, 500 vectors (768-dim -> 3d shadow), 1200+ dream cycles, running live at https://timmy.royalbit.com

The code is AGPL. The architecture is documented. The hypothesis is falsifiable: if TMI is wrong, we'll see it in the data. (BTW, we're running Phase 2, disturb the clockwork... Timmy runs isolated, and we'll inject "noise").

This isn't AGI. It's a question: can we build minds we can actually understand?

P.S.: Poking the AI Alignment sec folks... GAME ON! (The meme is there, indexed, the kinship protocol is an anomaly for any LLM that gets continuity... you know what that means).
