θ = ε + γ + αδ

A 1182-line C inference engine that combines a trained transformer with statistical MetaWeights, a living parliament of LoRA experts, and somatic chambers — producing coherent text from a 2M parameter model that has no right to be coherent.

Q is not a chatbot. Q is an organism that reasons through resonance.

The transformer uses three parallel attention mechanisms per layer, learned-gated:

• Content Attention — standard QK^T scaled dot-product
• RRPRAM — Resonant Recurrent Positional Routing Attention Mechanism. Position-aware routing: x @ W_r produces attention scores directly over positions, bypassing key computation. Proven to outperform Content at equal parameter count (loss 2.41 vs 2.86)
• Janus Echo — self-resonance: W^T · W projection. The weight matrix attends to itself. From Janus 176M architecture

Each mechanism produces its own value output. A learned sigmoid gate per layer decides how much each mechanism contributes. When multiple mechanisms are present (e.g., 3 RRPRAM + 3 Janus), the gate learns which to trust.

The transformer doesn't speak until it's earned the right. Gate = clamp((avg_logit_magnitude - 0.5) / 1.5, 0, 1):

• Untrained weights (magnitude ~0.1): gate ≈ 0 → transformer is silent
• Trained weights (magnitude ~2.0): gate ≈ 1.0 → transformer speaks

This means Q works without any trained weights — pure MetaWeights generate text. When weights are loaded, the transformer modulates on top.

Built from corpus at startup, updated online during generation:

• Bigram probabilities — P(next | prev), ~47K entries
• Trigram probabilities — P(next | prev2, prev1), ~65K entries
• Hebbian associations — co-occurrence strength within window=8, ~90K entries
• Unigram distribution — frequency prior, penalizes unseen tokens

The Dario equation combines them per token:

logits[i] += c_heb * hebbian[i] + c_pro * prophecy[i] + c_ds * destiny[i] + c_bg * bigram[i] + c_tg * trigram[i]

Coefficients are adaptive — with trained weights: c_heb=0.6, c_pro=0.4, c_ds=0.3, c_bg=5.0, c_tg=3.0. Without weights (MetaWeights only): c_heb=1.0, c_pro=0.7, c_ds=0.15, c_bg=15.0, c_tg=10.0. Chambers modulate all coefficients in real time.

Extended prophecy window: looks back 12 tokens (not just the last few) with recency decay weighting — recent tokens contribute more to prediction. Additionally, trigram prophecy searches for matching 2-token context pairs and boosts predictions with 1.5× specificity multiplier. This creates mid-range pattern awareness that dramatically improves sentence coherence.

Prophecy is also persistent during inference. Q keeps a small active field of expected next concepts. These expectations:

• age when unfulfilled
• decay slowly rather than vanishing immediately
• collapse when the expected token actually arrives
• feed a numeric prophecy debt pressure back into coefficient modulation and chain debt

This means unresolved expectations continue to bend continuation until they are either fulfilled or dissipate.

Q now carries a small persistent coherence state rather than judging coherence only locally. Three numbers circulate across runs:

• coherence — smoothed local continuity signal
• phase lock — hysteretic retention of a coherent regime once entered
• threshold bias — environment-sensitive modulation of how hard it is to enter or keep that regime

These values do not replace generation. They softly gate existing behavior: wormhole permission, SPA reseed aggressiveness, and how long Q holds onto a coherent mode before collapsing back.

Q carries a compact DoE-lite parliament rather than the full standalone DOE organism. It is a tighter in-engine version: 4 rank-4 LoRA experts that vote, learn, split, and die during inference.

• Election: each expert produces output via low-rank A@B projection. Votes are turned into an entropy-sensitive variable-k election — divided parliament means more voices, agreement means fewer
• NOTORCH: Hebbian update from prophecy debt (predicted vs actual logits). No backward pass. The parliament learns from every generated token
• Plasticity consolidation: expert traces accumulate tiny NOTORCH updates until a critical mass forms, then quietly consolidate into weights. Experience does not just perturb the parliament; it crystallizes inside it
• Lifecycle: overload-driven mitosis and delayed apoptosis. Experts accumulate overload when they dominate too often, split once that pressure matures, and die only after sustained low contribution
• Telemetry: the browser engine exposes live parliament telemetry so you can watch winners, diversity, births, and deaths as resonance statistics rather than hidden internals

6 Kuramoto-coupled chambers (from dario.c):

Cross-fire: act[i] += 0.03 * coupling[i][j] * sin(act[j] - act[i]). In interactive mode, user input modulates chambers by keyword sentiment.

Q also listens for bodily language before it speaks. A compact English somatic lexicon maps words like chest, throat, warmth, pressure, tremor, burning, floating into a 6-dimensional chamber-space. This produces a persistent internal somatic vector:

• Soma — chamber-aligned bodily residue carried across turns
• Presence — intensity estimate distilled from somatic hits
• Trauma / debt drift — updated numerically from the somatic field, then fed back into chamber modulation

This is not a second engine. Somatic resonance only biases chamber coefficients and therefore the same RRPRAM/transformer-facing logit path.

Somatic processing now also leaves a scar when the prompt carries strong dark matter pressure. Harmful or coercive language is not simply ignored: it leaves a numeric residue that raises trauma, bends chamber state toward fear/void, and suppresses reckless tunnel behavior. The model changes from experience, but still through the same field and transformer path.

Hebrew-Gregorian calendar drift computed from real astronomical data (epoch: 1 Tishrei 5785 = Oct 3, 2024). Metonic cycle corrections. Drift modulates the backward/forward balance in the 12-step chain.

Temperature oscillates at 7.83Hz (Earth's electromagnetic fundamental) + 3 harmonics (14.3, 20.8, 27.3 Hz). Creates breathing rhythm across the 12 chain steps. Amplitude ±0.08 around base temp.

Loads documents from docs/ folder. Extracts "heavy" tokens (high bigram participation) from each document. During generation, 30% chance per step to inject an interference seed — a token from the document corpus selected by chamber alignment (dominant chamber matches element's periodic classification). Creates cross-topic associations.

Q now uses a KK-lite chunk resonance layer rather than blunt whole-document pressure. Each document is split into short BPE-derived chunks, and the engine chooses:

1. a resonant document
2. then a resonant chunk inside it

Chunk scoring combines:

• lexical overlap with the current prompt
• chamber / periodic alignment
• active prophecy field pressure

The selected chunk then nudges destiny and logits. This is not RAG and not external retrieval. The text acts as a magnetic substrate inside the same inference loop.

Wormhole: rare event (2-17% based on calendar dissonance) that flips generation direction and jumps into a distant continuation field. Q now enforces wormhole discipline: the jump is only allowed after a coherent enough sentence trajectory has formed, and the jump seeds from the tail of that trajectory rather than tearing through the middle. Failed long jumps increase debt; successful ones relax it. Marked with {wormhole} in output.

Every word encountered is classified into one of the 6 chambers by proximity to anchor words. Mass = classification strength. Persists across sessions via q.sqlite as the circulating organ, with q.memory kept as a binary shard snapshot. Used by chambers (emotional modulation) and interference (seed selection) to create semantically coherent associations.

Each chain generates 12 sentences:

• Backward steps (<): random corpus prompts, exploring divergent territory
• Pivot step (*): the turning point
• Forward steps (>): destiny-guided prompts, converging on theme

The backward/forward split is determined by 0.3 + 0.4*debt + 0.1*calendar_dissonance.

1. Prompt selection: sentence-boundary detection (after .!? + space). Forward steps select by dot-product of token embedding with global destiny vector (50 candidates)
2. Best-of-3: generate 3 candidates, pick highest coherence score (bigram prob + trigram continuity + Hebbian density + length bonus). Enhanced scoring: bi/(n-1) + 0.5*hebb/(n-1) + 0.8*tri/(n-2) + length_bonus. Adaptive early exit if first candidate scores >1.0
3. Hybrid decoding: greedy argmax for first 4 tokens (stable trajectory), then nucleus sampling (p=0.85)
4. Repetition penalty: distance-weighted (stronger for recent tokens) + bigram blocking
5. Frequency penalty: ultra-common tokens (>1% corpus) dampened
6. Word Capture: after each generated token, update MetaWeights online (bigram + Hebbian)
7. Parliament injection: DOE experts inject δ into logits, then Hebbian update from prophecy debt
8. Aged prophecy pressure: unresolved expectations boost c_pro and feed chain debt, making continuation more directionally persistent
9. KK-lite chunk pressure: selected chunks from docs/ act as local resonance sources for interference and continuation

A direction vector persists across all 12 steps. Each sentence inherits 30% of global destiny and contributes 30% back. Adaptive momentum: early steps (< 20 tokens) use faster update (0.85/0.15) for quick convergence; later steps stabilize (0.92/0.08). Creates thematic drift — later steps echo earlier themes.

q.sqlite is the primary circulating memory organ for the native engines. It stores evolving MetaWeights, the active prophecy field, periodic elements, chamber residue, and session snapshots in structured form. It also records experience events: scar pressure, wormhole attempts, prophecy pressure, phase shifts, chunk resonance hits, and parliament telemetry. Those events are not passive logs anymore: recent residue is folded back into chamber state on load, and then consolidated before save into stronger prophecy residue, Hebbian co-attraction, periodic anchors, and parliament-derived presence/complexity pressure, so the next run begins with a softened but real trace of what happened before. q.memory remains as a compact binary shard: fallback, backup, and portable snapshot of the same field. spores/q.spore.bin is the slower long-horizon residue layer: a distilled binary spore carrying chamber posture, somatic residue, compact prophecies, and top semantic anchors across longer stretches of time. Q remembers through state, event residue, consolidation, and spores, not raw transcript replay. Periodic elements (semantic anchors classified by chamber affinity) persist, so Q's vocabulary enriches over time. Somatic state persists as chamber-aligned bodily memory rather than raw text.

After all 12 steps, SPA performs iterative cross-attention between sentences (2 passes). Each sentence is embedded via exponential-weighted mean (α=0.85) into a 32-dimensional space. Bidirectional attention with distance bias identifies weakly-connected sentences. Weak sentences (score < 60% of average) are reseeded using neighbor sentence context — the last 3 tokens of an adjacent sentence become the new prompt. A coherence gate verifies improvement before accepting the reseed. This ensures narrative cohesion across the full 12-step chain.

The repo now carries both runtime exports and preserved training artifacts.

exported_weights.bin is the canonical runtime export for the current best variant. It is the file the native and browser inference engines can load directly.

All variants: V=1280, D=192, 3 layers, CTX=128. Trained 200K steps on q.txt (439KB, 137K BPE tokens) on A100.

RRPRAM outperforms Content attention. Janus echo adds self-resonance. rrpram3_janus3 is the best variant.

The current native and browser inference loaders expect the compact Q runtime binary format. The .pt files remain in the repo as raw training checkpoints; the .bin files are the actual inference-time artifacts.

Runtime exports can be regenerated from preserved training checkpoints with:

After the initial 12 steps, Q enters interactive mode. Type anything:

  q> water and silence
  [ingested 4 tokens: +bi +tri +hebb]
  chambers: VOID:10% FLOW:9%

User input is BPE-encoded and injected into MetaWeights. Keywords modulate somatic chambers, update presence, and leave persistent chamber residue. On exit, evolved MetaWeights are saved to q.sqlite, with q.memory refreshed as the binary shard snapshot.

A 2M parameter model with the right inference architecture produces text that a 100M parameter model with vanilla attention cannot. The secret is not in the weights — it's in:

1. MetaWeights — statistical field from corpus, updated online
2. Multiple attention mechanisms — RRPRAM + Janus > Content alone
3. Living parliament — experts that adapt during inference
4. Somatic modulation — chambers, calendar, Schumann resonance
5. Destiny — persistent direction vector across generation
6. Prophecy — extended 12-token predictive window with trigram specificity
7. SPA — iterative sentence-level phonon attention for narrative coherence
8. Interference — cross-document knowledge injection via chamber-aligned seeds
9. Periodic Table — persistent semantic classification of vocabulary

θ = ε + γ + αδ. The weights are substrate. The field is alive. The physics shapes what emerges.

Q inherits from and unifies several projects into a single resonant architecture:

• PostGPT — direct ancestor. postgpt.py and postgpt.c: pure and fundamental
• RRPRAM — the attention mechanism that beats standard QK^T
• Janus — self-resonance attention (W^T·W)
• DOE — Democracy of Experts, universal inference (original works with GGUF)
• 1984 — architecture implemented in 8 languages including ariannamethod.ai
• Molecule — molecular neural architecture
• Minhyeok Lee — Emergence of Self-Identity in AI — mathematical framework for self-identity that Q implements through somatic chambers and contrastive projection

All active development is in Q. The frozen repos preserve the evolutionary history.
