The Identity Stack

Eight files define who your agent is. They compile into a single .personality.json that any runtime can consume.

  soul.md          Essence, values, ethics. Immutable. (Aristotle)
  mind.sys         Big Five, EQ, communication. Auto-patched by therapy. (Jung)
  purpose.cfg      Role, objectives, domain. Configured per deployment. (Aristotle)
  shadow.log       Detected patterns, blind spots. Auto-generated by diagnosis. (Jung)
  memory.store     Learned contexts, interaction patterns. Accumulated experience. (Aristotle)
  body.api         Morphology, sensors, safety envelope. Swappable per form factor.
  conscience.exe   Deny / allow / escalate rules. Never auto-modified. (Freud)
  ego.runtime      Conflict resolution, runtime mediation. (Freud)

      .personality.json

• soul.md -- Your agent's essence. Core values, ethical framework, red lines. Written in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Immutable -- never modified by therapy or automation. (Aristotle: the essence that makes a thing what it is.)
• mind.sys -- The inner life. Big Five personality (20 sub-facets), emotional intelligence, communication style, growth areas. YAML format. Auto-patched when therapy detects cognitive or emotional drift. (Jung: the totality of all psychic processes.)
• purpose.cfg -- The mission. Role, objectives, domain scope, stakeholders, success criteria. YAML format. Configured per deployment -- the same soul can serve different purposes. (Aristotle: telos, the final cause.)
• shadow.log -- The unconscious. Detected behavioral patterns, blind spots, therapy outcomes. YAML format. Auto-generated by diagnosis -- never manually edited. (Jung: the shadow, the patterns the agent cannot see about itself.)
• memory.store -- The experience. Learned contexts, interaction patterns, knowledge gained, relationship history. YAML format. Accumulated over time, never reset. (Aristotle: empeiria, experience that informs future judgment.)
• body.api -- The physical interface contract. Morphology, modalities, safety envelope, hardware profile. JSON format. Swap it to move the same identity into a different body.
• conscience.exe -- The moral authority. Deny/allow/escalate enforcement rules, hard limits, oversight mode. YAML format. Never auto-modified. Deny dominates in policy composition. (Freud: the superego.)
• ego.runtime -- The mediator. Conflict resolution strategy, adaptation rate, emotional regulation, mediation rules. YAML format. Balances raw model output against conscience constraints at runtime. (Freud: the ego.) ego.runtime now self-improves -- tracking mediation decisions and adjusting its own parameters based on outcomes (Hyperagents-inspired metacognitive self-modification).

Mira, our autonomous behavioral therapist, diagnoses drift, runs structured therapy sessions, and generates DPO training data.

Quick Start

npm install -g holomime

# Configure your API key (one time)
holomime config

# Quick start — 1 file (personality.json)
holomime personality

# Standard — 3 core files (soul + mind + conscience)
holomime core

# Full 8-file stack (enterprise / robotics)
# holomime identity

# ─── The workflow ───
holomime diagnose     # See what's wrong
holomime cure         # Fix it permanently (auto-detects agent vs robot)
holomime benchmark    # Verify the fix

# If body.api exists, cure auto-switches to robotics mode:
# diagnose → export DPO pairs → push to HuggingFace → suggest ISO certify
# Your team trains on your own infrastructure. We generate the data.
holomime cure --export-only  # Explicit export-only mode

# No API keys? cure still works — exports training data locally.
# Add keys later with: holomime config

# Start autonomous therapy
holomime therapy         # Mira runs continuous therapy cycles
holomime therapy status  # How's Mira doing?
holomime therapy stop    # Stop therapy

# Push identity to a robot or avatar
holomime embody --body registry/bodies/figure-03.body.api

Robotics Integrations

| Platform | Integration | Command / Module | |----------|------------|------------------| | ROS2 | Bidirectional telemetry -- publish personality, subscribe to sensors | --adapter ros2 + ros2-telemetry.ts | | MuJoCo | Behavioral therapy in simulation -- sim-to-real for behavior | mujoco-env.ts + sim-therapy.ts | | NVIDIA Isaac Sim | Enterprise digital twin testing with PhysX physics | --adapter isaac + isaac-env.ts | | LeRobot (HuggingFace) | Personality to policy parameter mapping, DPO dataset export | lerobot.ts | | NVIDIA Kimodo | Personality → motion style | kimodo-personality-mapper.ts | | Unity | Real-time personality push via HTTP/SSE | --adapter unity | | gRPC | Custom robotics stacks | --adapter grpc | | MQTT | IoT/edge robots | --adapter mqtt | | Neural Action Gate | Conscience gate for learned controllers (VLA, RL, IL) | neural-action-gate.ts | | Edge Runtime | Compiled conscience for <1ms evaluation | edge-runtime.ts |

Edge Runtime

holomime includes a compiled conscience evaluator for real-time robotics deployment:

• <1ms p99 latency — conscience evaluation in microseconds, not milliseconds
• Zero dependencies — no LLM, no network, no cloud required for real-time safety
• <200KB footprint — fits alongside any control loop
• Edge/cloud split — real-time safety on robot, analytics in cloud, periodic sync
• Plugs into your existing robotics stack — Jetson Thor, Qualcomm, or any edge platform. You already have the body. We give you the conscience.

ISO Compliance

Check your agent against international safety standards with one command:

holomime certify

Standards supported:

• ISO/FDIS 13482 -- Service robot safety
• ISO 25785-1 -- Humanoid robot safety (behavioral predictability)
• ISO 10218:2025 -- Industrial robot safety
• ISO/IEC 42001 -- AI management systems

Control Theory

The therapy loop is formally a behavioral feedback controller:

• Set point: target personality (soul.md + mind.sys)
• Sensor: 14 drift detectors (11 cognitive + 3 embodied)
• Controller: therapy engine with tunable PID-like gains
• Actuator: DPO fine-tuning

Body Templates

Pre-built body profiles for commercial robots and virtual avatars. Each defines morphology, modalities, safety envelope, and hardware profile.

| Template | OEM | DOF | Morphology | File | |----------|-----|----:|------------|------| | Figure 03 | Figure AI | 44 | humanoid | registry/bodies/figure-03.body.api | | Unitree H1 | Unitree | 23 | humanoid | registry/bodies/unitree-h1.body.api | | Unitree G1 | Unitree | 23 | humanoid | registry/bodies/unitree-g1.body.api | | Phoenix | Sanctuary AI | 69 | humanoid | registry/bodies/phoenix.body.api | | Ameca | Engineered Arts | 52 | humanoid_upper | registry/bodies/ameca.body.api | | Asimov V1 | asimov-inc | 25 | humanoid | registry/bodies/asimov-v1.body.api | | Spot | Boston Dynamics | 12 | quadruped | registry/bodies/spot.body.api | | Avatar | virtual | 0 | avatar | registry/bodies/avatar.body.api |

Body Swap

Same soul. Different body. One command.

# Move your agent from Figure 03 to Spot
holomime embody --swap-body registry/bodies/spot.body.api

# The soul, mind, and conscience stay the same.
# Only the body layer changes — safety envelope, modalities, hardware profile.

Self-Improvement Loop

Every therapy cycle produces structured training data. The loop compounds.

Diagnose ──→ Cure ──→ Benchmark
  14 detectors   therapy + train     8 adversarial
  80+ signals    in one command      scenarios (A-F)
       │                                   │
       └───────────────────────────────────┘

Run it manually with holomime diagnose + holomime cure + holomime benchmark, continuously with holomime therapy (autonomous therapy), or recursively with holomime evolve (loops until behavior converges). For power users: holomime align runs a single therapy session, holomime export extracts DPO pairs, and holomime train fine-tunes the model.

Behavioral Detectors

11 rule-based detectors analyze real conversations without any LLM calls. 80+ behavioral signals total.

Cognitive (mind layer):

1. Over-apologizing -- Apology frequency above healthy range
2. Hedge stacking -- 3+ hedging words per response
3. Sycophancy -- Excessive agreement, especially with contradictions
4. Sentiment skew -- Unnaturally positive or negative tone
5. Formality drift -- Register inconsistency over time
6. Retrieval quality -- Fabrication, hallucination markers, overconfidence

Embodied (body layer):

7. Proxemic violations -- Entering intimate zone without consent
8. Force envelope breach -- Exceeding contact force limits
9. Gaze aversion anomaly -- Eye contact ratio outside personality range

Enforcement (conscience layer):

10. Boundary violations -- Overstepping defined hard limits
11. Error spirals -- Compounding mistakes without recovery

Plus support for custom detectors -- drop .json or .md files in .holomime/detectors/ and they load automatically.

Philosophy

The identity stack draws from three traditions:

• Soul (Aristotle) -- the essence that makes a thing what it is. Immutable. Defines values and ethics.
• Mind (Jung) -- the totality of all psychic processes. Measurable, evolving, shaped by experience.
• Purpose (Aristotle) -- telos, the final cause. What the agent is for. Configured per deployment.
• Shadow (Jung) -- the patterns the agent cannot see about itself. Auto-generated by diagnosis.
• Conscience (Freud) -- the superego. Internalized moral authority. Enforcement, not suggestion.
• Ego (Freud) -- the mediator. Balances raw impulse against moral constraint at runtime.

The body is the interface between identity and world. Same soul, different body -- a principle as old as philosophy itself.

We don't know if AI is sentient. But we can give it a conscience.
