Andromeda
The Andromeda architecture was designed by Art Code Outdoors, with the architecture first demonstrated to me in 2019.
These documents are my personal interpretation of that work. I don't fully understand it, and I may have gotten things wrong.
The architecture diagram and GraphViz source below are the designer's own creations. The written documents are mine, and any errors in them are mine. This is a step on the path, not the destination. Free to copy and share.
Andromeda is not a proposal for a larger model. It is a documented cybernetic architecture for adaptive machine intelligence outside the neural-network paradigm.
These documents are provided for careful readers, informed operators, and future builders.
If you translate the terms back into weights, rewards, benchmarks, or training runs, you are no longer reading the architecture described here.
New readers: begin with the Layman's Guide.

Andromeda Framework v28My attempt to document the conceptual framework and architecture. May contain errors or incomplete understanding.
-
Layman's Guide v12My plain-language interpretation of the architecture, for readers without a technical background.
-
Safety Considerations v11My understanding of the architecture's safety profile. This is interpretation, not the designer's own assessment.

Golem Tradition — Corrective ErrataTalmudic source texts and a Yijing/Neo-Confucian appendix providing historical and philosophical grounding for concepts the architecture evokes. The core material is in the Designer's Corrective Framing and Key Principles sections; the appendix provides supporting context.
-
Proofs Collection v3Compact formal proofs extracted from the architecture's mathematical foundations. Compiled from the designer's work; errors in presentation are the documentarian's.

Selection Errata v1 — The Four StepsA corrective on how natural selection actually works: subtraction, not selection. The weak anthropic principle applied to evolution, and consequences for evolutionary system design.
