Cognitive Engine Wiki

Welcome to the Cognitive Engine project documentation. The Cognitive Engine is an AI system with explicit, persistent, and inspectable thought formation.

Overview

The Cognitive Engine transforms AI from answering to thinking, from reacting to reasoning, from output to cognition. It implements a sophisticated cognitive architecture with:

  • Explicit Thought Formation: Thoughts are structured objects with state, history, and evaluative properties
  • Three-Layer Memory: Episodic (raw events), Pattern (structure extraction), Rule (learned strategies)
  • Meta-Cognition: Oversight layer governing thinking depth and stopping conditions
  • Controlled Evolution: Self-modification with A/B testing, evaluation, and rollback capability
  • Cognitive Telemetry: Real-time dashboard observing thought formation
  • Autonomous Agent: Goal-driven behavior with tool execution capabilities

Key Features

Thought Objects

Thoughts are first-class objects with:

  • Unique identifiers
  • Premise (core hypothesis)
  • Confidence scores
  • Parent/child relationships
  • Evaluation history
  • Weakness tracking
  • Revision lineage

Cognitive Layers

  1. Interpreter: Input → Structured Meaning
  2. Generator: Create Thought Candidates
  3. Deliberator: Evaluate + Evolve Thoughts
  4. Committer: Finalize + Express
  5. Meta-Cognition: Oversight and control

Memory Architecture

  • Episodic Memory: Raw events and interactions
  • Pattern Memory: Recurring behaviors and structures
  • Rule Memory: Learned strategies and operational rules

Autonomous Agent

  • Think → Plan → Act → Observe → Reflect loop
  • Tool registry with safety constraints
  • Goal validation and step limits
  • Memory control to prevent infinite accumulation

Learning Systems

  • Pattern extraction from memory
  • Rule synthesis from patterns
  • Knowledge injection into reasoning
  • Temporal intelligence over time

Prompt Evolution

  • A/B testing of strategy changes
  • Performance evaluation and rollback
  • Controlled mutation rate
  • Global coherence validation

Dashboard

  • Real-time WebSocket telemetry
  • Thought visualization
  • Memory growth tracking
  • Strategy shift observation
  • Cognitive topology display
