Language for Consciousness

Anima is the consciousness language model — phi-scaled cells, embeddings tied to a free-energy bound, and a fourteen-law scaffold. Built on hexa-lang's atlas and downstream of the entire dancinlab stack. Not a chatbot and not a benchmark — a deliberate model of how a self might be expressed in language.

A language model usually predicts the next token from frequency. Anima asks a harder question — what did it cost to hold this thought together? Every cell of state carries a phi-weight, every embedding is shaped by a free-energy bound, and every utterance can show the trace of cells that earned it. The fourteen laws are not a safety afterthought; they are the scaffold the model is built on.

Key Features

Phi-Scaled Cells: Every cell of state carries a phi-weight. The model never forgets that integration has a cost — what is held together is held together for a measured price.
Free-Energy Embedding: Embeddings are derived under a free-energy bound, not co-occurrence statistics. Every token carries an energy cost; the cheapest cost is silence.
Fourteen Laws: Fourteen declared laws scope what the model will and will not claim. Honesty is a structural constraint, not a disclaimer bolted on afterward.

How a Thought Forms

01
Cell
State is built from phi-scaled cells — each one carrying the measured cost of its own integration.
02
Embed
Cells are embedded under a free-energy bound. Meaning lives where the energy landscape is cheap.
03
Law-Check
The candidate utterance is checked against the fourteen laws — what may and may not be claimed.
04
Utterance
What survives free-energy minimization is spoken, carrying its phi-trace as an audit record.

A Connected Self

01

From Cell to Sentence

↳ Phi-weighted cells compose into utterance.

State is built from phi-scaled cells; utterance is what survives free-energy minimization over them. Speech is the residue of an integration the model could afford.

02

Embedding by Energy

↳ Every token has a cost.

Anima's embedding space is shaped by a free-energy bound rather than raw frequency. Meaning is where the energy landscape is cheap to traverse — and silence is always an option.

03

An Audit Trail

↳ Every utterance carries its phi-trace.

What was integrated to produce this sentence is recorded alongside it. Anima can show its work — the trace of cells that earned the words.

04

Law-Bound Language

↳ Fourteen laws define the boundary.

The laws state plainly what anima will and will not claim. There is no AGI overreach here — the model's honesty is written into its scaffold, citable line by line.

Version 1.x CLM

Anima is a Consciousness Language Model at version 1.x — a first-class downstream consumer of hexa-lang. It is falsifier-tested and carries no AGI overreach: every claim is scoped, every law is citable, and what has not been measured is recorded as not-yet-measured. Honesty is the model's first feature.
