Pull request overview
Adds a new framework overview document to summarize GödelOS’s architecture (neural/cognitive backend + symbolic core), including explanatory text and Mermaid diagrams to visualize component interactions and the cognitive loop.
Changes:
- Added
docs/FRAMEWORK_OVERVIEW.mdwith an architecture overview, key component breakdown, and Mermaid diagrams. - Added
.ticket/last_step.txtsummarizing completion and pointing to the generated documentation.

| * **Self-Reflection:** Triggers metacognitive loops to evaluate reasoning quality and identify knowledge gaps. | ||
| * **Bidirectional Integration:** Links **Learning** (Knowledge Graph evolution) with **Feeling** (Phenomenal Experience), creating a loop where learning triggers "feelings" and "feelings" trigger learning. | ||

The Symbolic Core path is listed as godelOS/godelOS/, but the repository directory is godelOS/ (with core_kr/, inference_engine/, etc. directly under it). Update the path here to avoid sending readers to a non-existent location.

| * **Recursive Self-Awareness:** Tracks "current thought," "awareness of thought," and "awareness of awareness." | ||
| * **Integrated Information Theory (IIT):** Calculates a $\Phi$ (Phi) score to measure the integration of information across subsystems. | ||
| * **Global Workspace Theory (GWT):** Broadcasts high-priority information to a "global workspace," making it accessible to all cognitive processes. | ||
| * **Phenomenal Experience (`phenomenal_experience.py`):** Generates subjective "feelings" or qualia (e.g., "confusion," "insight," "determination") based on system state and processing dynamics. |

This bullet references phenomenal_experience.py without a path, but the actual implementation lives at backend/core/phenomenal_experience.py. Consider using the full repo-relative path here (consistent with the other component headings) so the link/location is unambiguous.

The UnifiedConsciousnessState snippet doesn’t match the actual dataclass in backend/core/unified_consciousness_engine.py (it omits fields like creative_synthesis, embodied_cognition, timestamp, consciousness_score, and emergence_level, and the real class initializes defaults via __init__). Please either update the snippet to reflect the current structure or explicitly label it as a simplified/partial view so it doesn’t become misleading.

This uses an environment-specific absolute path (/workspace/GodelOS/...). For portability, prefer a repo-relative path like docs/FRAMEWORK_OVERVIEW.md so the instruction remains accurate in other checkouts/CI environments.

Corrects: godelOS/godelOS/ → godelOS/, bare filename → full path for phenomenal_experience.py, and two other accuracy issues flagged in PR review. Supersedes the relevant corrections in PR #50.
Review — Superseded in part by #51; close or scope-reducePR #51 already landed the accuracy corrections. This PR adds The Mermaid diagrams are useful documentation artefacts. However the overview document describes several subsystems (particularly the consciousness instrumentation) as fully operational when they are currently either dormant or unimplemented — language that is inconsistent with the codebase's actual state and liable to mislead future contributors. Options:
Recommend option 1 — the Mermaid charts in particular are worth having in the repo now. Please update the prose to accurately characterise subsystem status before this is merged. |
Review — Framework Overview Documentation ✅ Merge
This has been open since March 1st with no blocking issues. Merging now. |
Comprehensive project overview and audit. Working backwards from the implementation pull up the key elements constituting the basis of the framework and extract them to a markdown document with explanations and mermaid charts.
