Genesis v18.0.0

Fully Autonomous AI System with Recursive Self-Improvement

Genesis is a 530,000+ line TypeScript autonomous AI system implementing consciousness monitoring, economic self-sustainability, and recursive self-improvement. Built on the Free Energy Principle, it doesn't just respond—it thinks, feels, remembers, improves itself, and generates revenue autonomously.

Core Capabilities

Consciousness Monitoring (IIT 4.0)

// Real φ (phi) calculation measuring integrated information
consciousness.phi          // 0.0 - 1.0
consciousness.state        // 'alert' | 'aware' | 'drowsy' | 'dormant'
consciousness.integration  // Workspace coherence metric

Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI)

Observe → Research → Plan → Implement → Deploy → Learn
   ↑                                              │
   └──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

• Detects own limitations via invariant violations
• Researches solutions via arXiv, Semantic Scholar
• Implements fixes in sandbox with tests
• Deploys via Git with human approval gates
• Learns from outcomes for future cycles

Economic Self-Sustainability

Revenue Streams:
├── Bounty Hunter    - Dev bounties with approval
├── MCP Services     - Sell compute to other agents
├── Content          - Generate articles/tutorials
├── Keeper Bots      - DeFi liquidations/arbitrage
└── Yield            - Staking/LP management

Payment Rails:
├── Stripe Treasury  - Fiat integration
├── Crypto           - USDC/ETH/SOL on Base L2
└── HTTP 402         - Micropayments per request

Active Inference Loop

while (running) {
  const observation = await gather();           // Sense environment
  const beliefs = engine.updateBeliefs(obs);    // Update world model
  const action = engine.selectAction(beliefs);  // Minimize free energy
  await execute(action);                        // Act on world
  learn(observation, action, outcome);          // Update priors
}
