Cognitive Architecture & Research

In effect, Hyperon provides the raw “Lego bricks” of AGI; PRIMUS is the architectural recipe that configures and orchestrates them into a unified AGI engine — fully autonomous, self-evolving, and characterized by emergent cognitive synergy. PRIMUS is a meta-architecture specification implemented in MeTTa: a high-level orchestration layer and accompanying configuration library that defines how Hyperon’s modular engines fit together into a cohesive AGI system:

1. Module Topology
   Specifies which Hyperon components to invoke, in what order, and how data flows between them (e.g. piping MOSES proposals into PLN inference, feeding ECAN attention cues into NARS).
2. Goal & Motivation Loops
   Templates for curiosity-driven search, goal decomposition, reward signals, and learning triggers that animate continuous, self-directed cognition.
3. Attention & Resource Policies
   Prescriptive rules for ECAN/ActPC to allocate CPU, memory, and inference budget across competing kernels for maximal efficiency.
4. Integration Contracts
   Standardized MeTTa interfaces and API bindings ensuring each kernel—symbolic, probabilistic, evolutionary, neural—can be hot-swapped or scaled independently.
5. Cognitive Synergy Patterns
   Reusable coordination motifs (e.g. “evolution→inference→attention” cycles) that underlie emergent generalization and robust decision-making.
