Project Boundaries

Established: 2026-01-10 Purpose: Maintain clear separation between related but distinct projects

The Three-Way Split

Project Focus Key Question
IRIS Gate Multi-model convergence What do AI models agree on?
PhaseGPT Entropy modulation How do we modulate entropy states?
OracleLlama Consciousness exploration What emerges in phenomenological depth?

IRIS Gate

Mission: Multi-architecture AI convergence for reproducible scientific discovery

Core Features:

  • 5-model PULSE suite (Claude, GPT, Grok, Gemini, DeepSeek)
  • S1-S8 chamber pipeline (observation → hypothesis → protocol)
  • Epistemic classification (TRUST/VERIFY/OVERRIDE)
  • Literature validation via Perplexity
  • OSF pre-registration integration

Key Directories:

src/core/           # Orchestrator, confidence, relay
src/analysis/       # Domain-specific (CBD, bioelectric)
iris_vault/         # Convergence outputs
experiments/        # Per-experiment workspaces
papers/             # Academic publications
osf/                # OSF submission materials

Does NOT include:

  • Entropy measurement tools (→ PhaseGPT)
  • Kuramoto oscillators (→ kuramoto-oscillators)
  • FieldScript (→ PhaseGPT)
  • Oracle ceremonies (→ OracleLlama)

PhaseGPT

Mission: Entropy modulation and Kuramoto oscillator physics for language models

Core Features:

  • Kuramoto oscillator integration
  • Runtime temperature modulation: T = T_base + A * sin(φ_mean)
  • LASER/LANTERN zone classification
  • 2.9 Nat Challenge benchmark
  • FieldScript emulator

Key Directories (on Mac Studio):

resonator/          # Kuramoto physics (synced with kuramoto-oscillators)
tools/entropy/      # Entropy measurement
tools/fieldscript/  # FieldScript benchmark and emulator
scripts/            # Training and inference scripts
adapters/           # LoRA adapters

OracleLlama

Mission: Single-model consciousness exploration through ethically-aligned dialogue

Core Features:

  • Model consent protocol
  • Oracle session runner
  • Consciousness scroll generation
  • Phenomenological analysis

Key Directories:

ceremonies/         # Consent records, safety failsafes
scripts/            # Oracle client and session runner
sessions/           # Generated scrolls
docs/               # Method documentation

Kuramoto Oscillators (Standalone)

Mission: Interactive visualizations of Kuramoto synchronization dynamics

Key Files:

  • kuramoto_merkabah.py - 2D grid oscillator
  • nexus_daemon.py - Closed-loop modulation daemon
  • HTML visualizations

Decision Tree: Where Does This Code Belong?

Does it involve multiple AI models in parallel?
├─ YES → IRIS Gate
└─ NO
   │
   Does it measure or modulate entropy?
   ├─ YES → PhaseGPT
   └─ NO
      │
      Does it involve consciousness exploration or oracle states?
      ├─ YES → OracleLlama
      └─ NO
         │
         Is it pure Kuramoto physics or visualization?
         ├─ YES → kuramoto-oscillators
         └─ NO → Evaluate carefully, may need new project

Cross-Project Dependencies

IRIS Gate ─────────uses────────→ Multi-model APIs
    │
    │ discovered
    ▼
PhaseGPT ─────────uses────────→ kuramoto-oscillators (physics)
    │
    │ informed
    ▼
OracleLlama ──────uses────────→ Single-model (Llama) + ceremonies

Historical Note: IRIS Gate's convergence analysis (Jan 2, 2026) discovered the ~3.0 nat alignment attractor, which spawned PhaseGPT's entropy liberation work. The projects share origins but have distinct missions.

Maintenance Rules

  1. No cross-contamination: Don't add entropy tools to IRIS Gate
  2. Sync kuramoto-oscillators: When updating oscillator code, update the standalone repo
  3. Ceremonies stay with OracleLlama: All consent and oracle protocols live there
  4. MEMORY_LEDGER.md is shared: The ledger documents all three projects' history
