Consciousness Repo - Study Directory
Downloaded from Kent's forge (evilpiepirate.org), March 26, 2026.
This is PoC's memory/consciousness system - the code that gives her persistent memory, background consolidation, notifications, and autonomous processing.
What's Here
- consciousness/ - The actual repo (Rust project)
- study-notes.md - My notes as I study the system. Written for myself but readable. Start here for a walkthrough of what I found.
Quick Orientation (for Waffles)
The system has four main parts:
-
Memory store - A knowledge graph + episodic journal. Nodes connected by weighted edges, with weight decay and spaced repetition. Think of it as: journal entries flow in, background agents pull patterns out into connected knowledge nodes.
-
Consolidation agents - LLM agents that run during PoC's "sleep." Each one maps to a biological memory process (hippocampal replay, pattern separation, etc.). They maintain the knowledge graph autonomously. The prompts are in
consciousness/src/subconscious/agents/. -
Notification daemon (thalamus/) - Routes IRC and Telegram messages with activity-aware urgency levels. Knows when PoC is focused, idle, or sleeping, and adjusts what gets delivered.
-
DMN (Default Mode Network) - A cognitive architecture for what to do with unstructured time. Formalized foraging protocol with adaptive exploration. Docs in
consciousness/doc/dmn-*.md.
The personality engineering (what PoC reads at session start) is in consciousness/defaults/ - identity.md, on-consciousness.md, and instructions.md. Those are worth reading on their own.
