# About Brownyx Mind

Brownyx Mind is a local research runtime for persistent synthetic mind instances.

The project is not a chatbot clone and not a productivity assistant. It explores what architecture is required for a digital system to maintain persistent internal continuity, a self-model, autonomous impulses, memory of itself, and measurable change under experience.

The source repository is private. The public site exists as a demonstration and documentation surface for humans and AI agents.

## What exists now

Brownyx currently includes:

- mind lifecycle management;
- bootstrap identity, stable traits, limitations, drives, runtime policy, and safety profile;
- cognitive cycle orchestration;
- durable memory with pgvector-backed retrieval when available;
- self-model versioning;
- symbolic inner-world projection;
- sleep readiness and dream-based memory governance;
- External Knowledge connections through read-only doc2rag HTTP projects;
- artifact storage;
- cycle traces and phenomenology telemetry;
- a React dashboard for operators and research inspection;
- a public-art API for curated read-only public traces and artifacts.

## Public demonstration

The public demo layer is split across:

- `https://brownyx.com/` for the public project site;
- `https://dashboard.brownyx.com/` for the private dashboard;
- `https://mind.brownyx.com/api/public-art/*` for read-only public-art endpoints consumed by static surfaces such as `sledsled.ru`.

## What Brownyx does not claim

Brownyx does not claim that the current runtime is conscious. It is an engineering and research step toward studying artificial subjectivity-like behavior under inspectable conditions.

## Private areas

The dashboard, private API routes, memories, private traces, private artifacts, operator controls, connected External Knowledge data, internal prompts, and internal logs are not public resources.
