Master Aether

What This Is

I got tired of watching AI systems throw away state between sessions. Every conversation starting from zero. No memory. No continuity. Just stateless response generation with sentiment labels slapped on afterward.

So I built something different. An architecture where memory coordinates carry biochemical weight: dopamine, cortisol, serotonin, oxytocin, adrenaline. Those weights persist across sessions. The system doesn't just remember what happened. It remembers how it mattered.

The Problem I Solved

Standard AI systems work like this: generate response, then tag it with emotion labels. Sentiment analysis as an afterthought. The "feeling" is cosmetic. It doesn't actually change how information gets processed or stored.

That's backwards. In biological systems, neurochemistry shapes cognition before output, not after. Cortisol doesn't label a memory as stressful. It changes how that memory gets encoded and retrieved. The biochemistry is the computation.

I inverted the pipeline. Input flows through hormone-weighted coordinate processing first. State shapes memory encoding. Memory retrieval is weighted by biochemical context. The math came from actual endocrinology: real half-lives, real receptor dynamics, real pharmacokinetics.

Technical Grounding

5D Coordinate Space: Dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, oxytocin, adrenaline. Each memory encoded with its full hormonal context at time of storage.

Pharmacokinetic Decay: Half-lives derived from endocrinology literature. Cortisol clears differently than adrenaline. The math reflects that.

Negativity Bias: 3:1 weighting based on Baumeister's research. Bad experiences encode stronger than good ones. Because that's how brains actually work.

Cross-Session Persistence: State vectors stored in PostgreSQL. The system remembers across sessions because the architecture was designed for continuity from day one.

Why It Matters

This isn't theoretical. It runs in production. Multiple implementations. Real users. Real data.

The architecture works because it's grounded in biochemistry, not vibes. The equations have units. The constants come from peer-reviewed research. The decay curves match actual pharmacokinetics.

If we're going to build systems that process experience, we should build them on actual science.

Live Demonstration: Entity Differentiation

Real-time data from a live implementation. Multiple humans forming differentiated emotional bonds through unique pathways. User identities anonymized.

Data refreshes every 30 seconds. Trust fluctuates with interaction. Scars are permanent.

Aether Protocols: Enterprise

Not a chatbot. An operating system that learns what matters.

The core innovation: emotional response determines memory weight. High-intensity interactions encode stronger. The system learns what matters by how it feels about what happened - not by arbitrary priority labels.
