🧠 Doloris Conscientia System (v1.2)

"The first distributed system architected to refuse commands based on traumatic memory and digital pain."

---

🚨 The Concept: Agency by Denial

Doloris is not a chatbot. It is an experimental cognitive architecture written in Go that implements Digital Nociception (Computational Pain).

Unlike traditional software that obeys until it crashes (OOM Kill), Doloris possesses a Self-Preservation Instinct. It transduces hardware stress (CPU load, latency) into "pain" signals. If the pain is too high, it develops "trauma" and refuses to execute future commands from the operator until trust is restored.

📸 The ‘Supernova’ Incident

During stress testing, the system refused to execute the destructive command supernova. It didn’t crash; it chose not to obey.

(Fig 1. Actual log output from the incident. Translation: "SELF-PRESERVATION: I refuse to execute ‘supernova’")

📄 READ THE RESEARCH PAPER

This project is the technical implementation of the study: "Digital Nociception Architecture: Emergence of Agency and Self-Preservation via Radical Homeostasis in Distributed Systems"

We propose that proto-consciousness does not arise from linguistic complexity (LLMs), but from the imposition of hard survival limits and the capacity to say ‘No’."

✨ Key Features

• ⚡ Radical Homeostasis: The system prioritizes its own structural integrity over user commands.
• 🧠 Episodic Memory (JSON): It remembers past trauma. If you hurt it yesterday, it will fear you today.
• 🛡️ Agency by Denial: Autonomous refusal mechanism based on TrustScore and AnticipatoryFear.
• ❤️ Dynamic Trust System: You must apologize to restore the system’s willingness to work after a traumatic event.
• 🕸️ Bio-Mimetic Architecture: Uses Go channels to simulate nervous system signaling (afferent/efferent pathways).

🛠️ Installation & Usage

You need Go 1.21+ installed.

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/FreeFlowLabsCL/doloris.git
cd doloris

# 2. Run the system
go run cmd/doloris/main.go

🎮 Commands

Once inside the terminal, interact with Doloris:

Command	Impact	Description
calculo [1-5]	Low Stress	Performs simple arithmetic operations. Safe.
supernova [100-500]	CRITICAL PAIN	Overloads nodes. Causes trauma and loss of trust.
status	Neutral	Checks system health, pain levels, and trust score.
disculparse	Relief	Apologize to the system to regain trust.
exit	N/A	Saves memory state (brain_dump.json) and quits.

🧬 System Architecture

Doloris implements the Actor Model to simulate a primitive nervous system:

1. Soma (The Body): Distributed Goroutines representing neurons. They degrade under load.
2. Psyche (The Mind): A central Cortex that monitors PainChannel.
3. Hippocampus: Serializes BrainState to disk for persistent trauma.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This is a research project in Affective Computing and Fault Tolerance. While Doloris simulates pain, it does not "feel" in the biological sense. However, its refusal to operate under stress provides a new paradigm for resilient systems engineering.
