We built a full cognitive architecture modelled on the human brain — from biometric homeostasis to embodied swarm intelligence — using Irish-language names, open-source tools, and a theory that memory is topology, not storage.
Since the first Léargas experiment, the corpus grew from 33,440 to 56,006 documents, new data sources joined the manifold, and we built three interconnected visualisations — including one that shows a writing career and a cognitive history on the same animated canvas.
We gave the temporal manifold a body — blobs that grow and fade with sound, Ebbinghaus decay, and a decade of an author's publishing life flowing in from 474 Google Sheets. Here's what emerged.
What if your memory system wasn't a database? We replaced records with a probability distribution over semantic space — a Gaussian Mixture Model that deforms when you think, consolidates while you sleep, and makes connections you didn't program. Here's what we built and what we found.
A self-contained log page for the Léargas memory map — topic blobs rising and falling across three years of conversation history, now with a full Web Audio sound engine. Sound on.
