Mr. Smith-Davinci Pattern Weaver v3.5 — Unified Chassis

"Don't Train the Model, Evolve the Harness." — Niklaus 2026

What Is This?

Smith-Davinci v3.5 is the unified integration of three previously separate research lines:

System	Role	Module
L.I.P.S. v4.1	Nervous system	Bio-inspired 5-chemical reward controller
Council of Advisors	Cortex	Multi-agent async deliberation
Meta-Harness Loop	Skeleton	Automated harness evolution via episode scoring

L.I.P.S. provides the feelings — neurochemical states that guide inference style, tool access, and creative energy. Council provides the thinking — parallel expert consultation with pattern extraction. Meta-Harness provides the evolution — scoring runs, recording episodes, and suggesting harness improvements.

All three write to a unified SQLite schema (agent_runs) that captures every dimension of every interaction.

Full corrected guide: guide_v3.5_corrected.md (matches this build — not the older Kimi PDF).

60-second start

Settings — set OPENROUTER_KEY (Space secret or UI). Optional: KIMI_KEY, HF_TOKEN.
Mode — pick weave | quant | memory | docupack. Toggle Consult Council of Advisors (ON = slower/richer).
Type in Your Request → click WEAVE.
Watch L.I.P.S. and Neuraxon JSON update under the chat.

UI tabs (right panel)

Tab	What it does
Settings	Backend, model override, API keys, system prompt
Mode	Operational mode + council toggle + Neuraxon force override
Patterns	History of extracted patterns (not a template library)
Buckets	Saved insights by bucket type
Harness Evolution	Record episodes + harness improvement suggestions
System Status	Full state dump

Modes vs L.I.P.S. (common confusion)

Mode dropdown = weave / quant / memory / docupack (prompt prefix only).
L.I.P.S. = automatic 5-chemical / 6-phase engine (displayed in JSON). You do not pick “Dopamine mode” in the UI.
Neuraxon HOT/IDLE/INHIBITED = memory gating (separate from L.I.P.S. phases).

Council (when enabled)

Four advisors (Qwen Coder, Gemini, Kimi critic, Grok) → DavidAU chairman synthesis.
No 6-agent vote/revision loop in this version.

Output format

Responses should include: PATTERN INSIGHT · SOLUTION · GENERALIZABLE TOOL · NEXT EVOLUTION
These are auto-parsed into SQLite. NEXT EVOLUTION is not yet auto-fed as the next prompt.

The Unified Schema

The agent_runs table is the single source of truth for every interaction:

CREATE TABLE agent_runs (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    timestamp TEXT,
    session_id TEXT,
    user_request TEXT,
    final_response TEXT,
    backend_used TEXT,        -- HF|Local|OpenRouter|Kimi
    model_id TEXT,
    tokens_used INTEGER,

    -- L.I.P.S. snapshot (JSON)
    lips_state TEXT,          -- {dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphin, adrenaline, phase, ...}

    -- Neuraxon snapshot (JSON)
    neuraxon_state TEXT,      -- {state, synaptic_weight, gate_open, allowed_tools, max_chain_depth}

    -- Council packet (JSON)
    council_packet TEXT,      -- {request, advisor_responses, chairman_decision, confidence}

    -- Harness evolution
    pooled_success REAL,      -- Task success rate
    all_pass REAL,            -- All criteria passed
    pattern_quality REAL,     -- Extracted pattern value
    synaptic_weight REAL,     -- Neuraxon weight at time
    blended_score REAL,       -- Final promotion score
    is_episode_recorded INTEGER,

    -- Spark Index
    spark_ignitions TEXT,     -- JSON list
    pattern_extracts TEXT,    -- JSON list of extracted patterns

    -- Mode tracking
    active_mode TEXT,         -- weave|quant|memory|docupack
    mode_switches TEXT,       -- JSON list

    -- Tool usage
    tools_used TEXT,          -- JSON list

    -- Ethics
    ethics_flag TEXT,
    override_reason TEXT
);

Every single agent run writes one row. The Meta-Harness loop reads unrecorded runs, aggregates them into episodes, and computes the blended promotion score.

L.I.P.S. v4.1 — Bio-Inspired Reward

5 Chemicals

Chemical	Function	High Means	Low Means
Dopamine	Reward, motivation	Explore boldly	Stay conservative
Oxytocin	Trust, bonding	Warm, collaborative	Precise, clinical
Serotonin	Stability, mood	Thorough, check edges	Move quickly
Endorphin	Pleasure, correctness	Celebrate elegance	Functional focus
Adrenaline	Urgency, stress	Time-critical action	Methodical pace

6-Phase Cycle

Resolution → Excitement → Plateau → Edge → Climax → Refractory
   ↑_____________________________________________________|

Each phase has transition rules based on chemical thresholds. Every phase change is logged to lips_history.

Neuraxon Trinary — Memory Gating

State	Value	Tool Access	Chain Depth	When
HOT	+1	All tools	4	High dopamine + endorphin
IDLE	0	Memory, Analysis	2	Baseline operation
INHIBITED	-1	Memory only	1	Low serotonin or forced

Synaptic weights accumulate from pattern activations and L.I.P.S. reinforcement. Tool access is dynamically gated by state.

Council of Advisors

Advisor	Title	Model	Role
Qwen Coder	Ministerial Reasoner	qwen3-coder-480b	Technical rigor, code architecture
Gemini	Hermes Generalist	gemini-2.5-pro	Cross-domain bridges, analogies
Kimi	Phi Critic	kimi-k2	Stress-testing, weakest-link analysis
Grok	Seed Creative	grok-3	Lateral thinking, first principles
DavidAU	Chairman	qwen3.6-27b	Final synthesis, pattern extraction

All advisors are consulted concurrently via asyncio.gather(). The Chairman synthesizes their inputs with confidence scoring and structured pattern extraction.

Meta-Harness Scoring

The blended score extends Niklaus 2026:

score = pooled_success + 0.5 * all_pass - lambda * tokens_per_M + mu * pattern_quality + nu * synaptic_weight

Where:
  lambda = 0.005  (token penalty per million)
  mu = 0.15       (pattern quality bonus)
  nu = 0.10       (synaptic weight bonus)

Decision	Threshold	Action
Promoted	score ≥ 0.65	Increment harness version
Baseline	0.50 ≤ score < 0.65	Keep current
Rejected	score < 0.50	Log for analysis

Pattern Extraction

The system automatically extracts four pattern types from every response:

PATTERN INSIGHT: <cross-domain pattern recognized>
SOLUTION: <approach to solve the problem>
GENERALIZABLE TOOL: <reusable component identified>
NEXT EVOLUTION: <future improvement direction>

Patterns are stored in the patterns table with L.I.P.S. phase and Neuraxon state at time of creation — enabling analysis of which states produce the best patterns.
