Examples & Trials

Hands‑on demonstrations of Syntra Kernel’s cognitive capabilities

Syntra Kernel includes a set of examples and trials that demonstrate core concepts of the architecture.
These are ideal for learning, debugging, and experimentation.

---

🧪 Examples (examples/)

Examples are small, self‑contained programs that demonstrate specific subsystems.

renderer_example

cargo run --example renderer_example

Demonstrates:

• graph rendering
• visualization backend
• UI context integration

world_model_example (if present)

Shows how to create, update, and query entities.

memory_example (if present)

Demonstrates semantic and episodic memory operations.

---

🧬 Trials (trials/)

Trials are early cognitive experiments used to validate the cognitive loop.

first_intent

cargo run --bin first_intent

Demonstrates:

• intent parsing
• pipeline execution
• ThoughtStream output
• memory writes
• world‑model updates

planning_trial (if present)

Tests the Planning Lobe’s ability to generate structured plans.

simulation_trial (if present)

Runs a plan through the Simulation Sandbox.

reflection_trial (if present)

Shows how Syntra evaluates outcomes and updates memory.

🧭 How to Explore Trials

1. Run the trial
2. Watch ThoughtStream logs
3. Inspect world‑model snapshots
4. Observe memory updates
5. Modify the trial and rerun

Trials are intentionally simple — they are cognitive microscopes.

🧠 Why Examples & Trials Matter

They provide:

• hands‑on learning
• debugging tools
• architectural insight
• reproducible experiments
• cognitive transparency

They are the best way to understand Syntra Kernel in motion.
