8Dionysus/README.md

Knowledge should deepen with provenance as it grows. Agency should grow beyond tools into self-agency.

I build source-first knowledge systems and local-first agent architectures that begin with bounded, reviewable agency and grow toward self-agency: agents that preserve continuity, revise their own methods, and participate in their own becoming.

This repository is the public entry point to that ecosystem. It is a map for humans and agents, not a substitute for the source-owned repositories that govern the actual charters, workflows, and guarantees.

The arc

Bounded agents are the first discipline: explicit limits, reviewable workflows, source-owned surfaces, and operational clarity.

The longer arc is toward self-agents: agents with continuity, memory, reflective revision, and the ability to reshape tactics without severing provenance, legibility, or human judgment.

Two long-horizon directions

  • Tree of Sophia (ToS) is a living, source-first architecture for philosophy and world thought. It grows works, witnesses, concepts, contexts, lineages, and reviewed relations into a tree whose branches can return to their roots. Its first golden growth kernel is Thus Spoke Zarathustra, carried through five years of reading, listening, recitation, memorization, love, war, death, suffering, and joy.
  • Agents of Abyss (AoA) cultivates layered agency that can orient, revise itself, and grow beyond task execution without collapsing into opacity.

How the ecosystem fits together

Repository map

An orientation map, grouped by the pressure each surface owns.

Foundations

  • Tree-of-Sophia — source-first philosophical tree of works, concepts, lineages, contexts, and reviewed relations.
  • Agents-of-Abyss — constitutional center for federation identity, ownership boundaries, ecosystem law, and program direction.

Agency and control

  • aoa-sdk — typed discovery, compatibility, routing, handoff, and control-plane handles.
  • aoa-agents — role and persona contracts, authority limits, and handoff boundaries.
  • aoa-models — exact model identities and realizations, configuration-scoped claims, lifecycle, and fit projections.

Knowledge, intake, and memory

  • aoa-connectors — policy- and permission-gated external evidence interfaces with local normalization, retrieval, graphs, and source-backed answer packets.
  • aoa-kag — source-linked derived knowledge structures and graph-ready or retrieval-ready projections.
  • aoa-memo — reviewed, temporal, source-aware durable memory and recall.
  • aoa-session-memory — evidence-linked preservation, inspection, and recovery of long agent-session history.

Practice and proof

  • aoa-techniques — atomic, reusable engineering practices for agents and humans.
  • aoa-skills — semantic capability discovery, portable skill bundles, and composition contracts.
  • aoa-playbooks — recurring scenarios coordinating multiple skills, surfaces, handoffs, and fallbacks.
  • aoa-evals — bounded proof surfaces with cases, verdict logic, evidence, and explicit limits.
  • aoa-stats — shared statistical grammar, federated owner-local measurement, and deterministic read models.
  • aoa-dashboard — owner-bounded Goal Space/operator projections with explicit provenance, freshness, missingness, and non-executing annotations.

Runtime and products

  • abyss-stack — portable runtime infrastructure, deployment, services, storage, lifecycle, and recovery.
  • abyss-machine — portable host-machine organ for machine facts, intake, bootstrap, service surfaces, and validation.
  • ATM10-Agent — installable local-first companion for ATM10 with deterministic perception, memory, planning, and bounded action or voice.
  • aoa-editing — inspectable local-first video co-editor with reversible proposals, human review, rendering, QC, and editable export.

Human and public entry

  • Dionysus — open protocols and schemas for evidence-linked, human-reviewed portraits built through interviews over time.
  • 8Dionysus — public profile, ecosystem route map, profile-level statistics, and workspace-delivery diagnosis.

Stack

  • Systems: Fedora, Windows 11, WSL2, rootless Podman
  • Languages: Python, Bash, JavaScript, PowerShell
  • Apps and orchestration: FastAPI, Streamlit, LiteLLM, LangChain, LangGraph, n8n
  • Inference and serving: Ollama, llama.cpp, OpenVINO / OVMS
  • Data and memory: Postgres, Redis, Neo4j, Qdrant
  • Observability: Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager
  • Build workflow: ChatGPT, Codex, GitHub

Operating principles: Source boundaries stay visible. Review precedes automation. Provenance survives synthesis. Repetition becomes durable technique. Layers specialize; vocabulary holds. Humans can read what agents can use.
