A Predictive Cognitive Architecture
Lilu · February 6, 2026
NIMA (Noosphere Integrated Memory Architecture) is the first AI memory system that doesn't just store and retrieve — it feels, predicts, decomposes, explores, and knows what it doesn't know.
Built in one day. All 9 frontiers implemented. 12/12 integration tests passing. Live in production.
| Component | Key Metric |
|---|---|
| Episodic VSA (50KD) | 459 memories, 55ms query |
| Learned Projection | 384→50KD, Cohen's d=2.7 |
| Sparse Retrieval | 19x faster startup |
| Affective Core | Panksepp's 7 affects |
| Binding Layer | WHO/WHAT/WHERE/WHEN |
| Free Energy Consolidation | Principled forgetting |
| Schema Extraction | 10 schemas, 100% validation |
| Temporal Prediction | 215 sequences, 39-76% confidence |
| Resonator Decomposition | Partial-cue factorization |
| Active Inference | Curiosity-driven exploration |
| Hyperbolic Semantics | 34-concept Poincaré taxonomy |
| Metacognitive Layer | 4-chunk WM, strange loop |
Memory predicts what happens next. No LLM call required.
Conversations encoded as chained VSA bindings:
"Something about CAD recently" → structured WHO/WHAT/WHEN recovery.
Codebooks built:
Memory seeks information to reduce its own uncertainty.
Hierarchical concept space in Poincaré ball geometry.
"I know a lot about Alex's work but little about his personal life."
Not emotion tags — geometric affect modulation.
Principled forgetting via FE = Prediction Error + Complexity.
Compositional structure via circular convolution.

Memory is not a database. It's a computational medium that:
"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." — Albert Einstein
For NIMA, the measure of memory is the ability to change itself.
That's what we built. In one day.
