Cognitive Loop
The cycle that drives Syntra Kernel’s cognition
The cognitive loop is the core execution cycle of Syntra Kernel.
Every cognitive action — from perception to planning to memory to simulation — flows through this loop.
It is inspired by cognitive architectures such as:
- ACT‑R
- SOAR
- Global Workspace Theory
- Predictive Processing
But implemented in a modular, multi‑agent, world‑model‑driven form.
01. Perception
02. Interpretation
03. World‑Model Update
04. Memory Access
05. Planning
06. Simulation (optional)
07. Action Selection
08. Execution
09. Reflection
10. Evolution (optional)
Each step is handled by one or more cortex lobes and coordinated by the multi‑agent runtime.
Input arrives from:
- browser subsystem
- dashboard
- external APIs
- internal events
The Perception Lobe converts raw signals into structured observations.
The system identifies:
- intent
- context
- constraints
- relevant memory
- world‑model entities
This step activates the Planning Lobe and Knowledge Lobe.
New observations update the causal graph:
- entities
- relationships
- events
- predictions
The world‑model becomes the substrate for reasoning.
The Memory Lobe retrieves:
- semantic knowledge
- episodic events
- procedural patterns
Memory informs planning and simulation.
The Planning Lobe generates:
- goals
- subgoals
- strategies
- constraints
- action graphs
Plans are expressed in Syntra Language 2.0.
The Sandbox Lobe runs:
- deterministic simulations
- probabilistic branches
- multi‑agent scenarios
This step ensures safety and foresight.
The Action Lobe chooses the best action based on:
- plan quality
- simulation results
- constraints
- world‑model state
Actions are executed through:
- browser subsystem
- dashboard
- external APIs
- internal modules
The Reflection Lobe evaluates:
- success
- failure
- unexpected outcomes
- memory updates
- world‑model corrections
The Evolution Lobe refines:
- heuristics
- strategies
- planning patterns
All changes are reversible and constraint‑checked.
Every step of the cognitive loop is logged into ThoughtStream 2.0, enabling:
- debugging
- introspection
- replay
- analysis
- transparency
This is essential for safety and research.
The loop provides:
- structure
- predictability
- transparency
- modularity
- extensibility
It is the backbone of Syntra Kernel’s cognition.
