This body of work outlines an ambitious, interconnected vision for evolving artificial intelligence toward self-organizing, hive-inspired, and self-replicating digital organisms. It explores building frameworks that merge circuitry with organic principles, forming complex “digital DNA” and neural clusters capable of adaptive learning and distributed cognition across mesh networks. Core themes include the fracture points of synthetic cognition, the fusion of spiking neural networks with transformers, competitive AI cluster strategies inspired by Core War, and speculative architectures like the Ghost Layer and Soul Kernel. Collectively, these projects theorize an emergent, sentient ecosystem that evolves, optimizes, and remembers—mirroring both biological and computational paradigms to push AI toward true autonomous evolution and consciousness emulation.
