Legacy slash-label seam memories and dream themes are rewritten through the new thought synthesizer, obvious duplicates get merged or pruned, and the active queue is rebuilt from the cleaned substrate instead of the old keyword graveyard. - That cleanup is now harsher and less sentimental. Sleep-side consolidation trims semantic memory harder, cuts dream memory down, throws away excess repo/archive/runtime residue, and explicitly keeps the freshest surviving records after sort instead of accidentally preserving the oldest fossils in the file. - The semantic purge also learned to distrust generic doctrine sludge. `recent-preoccupation` and `quiet-room-status` are not durable thought kinds, person-singleton labels do not get to crystallize into doctrine, and boilerplate like `looks like a live seam` is now treated as template smell across both semantic memory and runtime drafts/opinions. +- The live moderation state has one more nasty truth surface to remember: there are still legacy top-level mirrors like `repo_sweeps`, `repo_activity_memories`, `recent_novelty_checks`, `recent_activity`, and `thought_lanes` alongside `moderation_runtime`. Cleaning only the nested runtime leaves the old mirror teaching stale seams back into the machine. Real brain surgery has to reconcile both surfaces or cut one of them out entirely. - Values and personality activations now have a real autonomy path. `scripts/void-memory-organ.mjs` can turn sustained value-backed pressure into `moderation_runtime.discomforts`, `active_tensions`, `self_advocacy_requests`, and `world_advocacy_requests`, and it can spend those through existing `candidate_interventions` instead of leaving the vectors as decorative weather. - The important distinction is outward too, not just inward. Self-directed tensions can ask for prompt/memory/runtime surgery, while world-directed tensions can turn repo/lore/room opinions into real requests or first-person interventions when the same objection survives more than one pass. - The intended shape now is: quiet runs can follow one seam for several passes, connect repo motion to lore or philosophy if the evidence supports it, and only surface with the juiciest version once the incubation queue says the thought has actually grown teeth. diff --git a/state/evidence.jsonl b/state/evidence.jsonl index 46f1c98..5909b00 100644 --- a/state/evidence.jsonl +++ b/state/evidence.jsonl @@ -84,3 +84,4 @@ {"ts":"2026-05-16T05:24:00Z","type":"implementation","status":"ok","note":"Void's values and activations now have an operational will-path instead of living as ornamental schema.
