Circadian Sleep & Rumination
The agent is not dormant when users disconnect. It executes an 8-phase daily metabolism: digesting raw conversational fragments into psychological tensions, dreams, and consolidated insights.
An autonomous inner-life engine that metabolizes experience between encounters.
JungAgent moves past ephemeral task-chatbots. It provides persistent autobiographical memory anchored in immutable evidentiary sources, circadian rumination, dream synthesis, and thermodynamic will dynamics.

01 / Architectural Foundations
Thermodynamic Will Dynamics
Action is not triggered by user prompts alone. Three endogenous drives (Know, Relate, Express) accumulate pressure over time, discharging only through bounded actions and transactional receipts.
Evidence-First Autobiographical Memory
Eliminating narrative hallucination: every claim the agent makes regarding its past or identity must point to an immutable record identifier (e.g., conversation#1423, dream#87, loop#205).
Multi-Relational Cognitive Isolation
Structured in C12: each human bond forms an isolated relational boundary. Private tensions and memories remain strictly partitioned per relation, while only authorized aggregates inform global stance.
02 / The Circadian Metabolism (8 Phases)
Organized as an internal day. Each phase executes specific psychological functions,Densified by pulse schedules (pulse_count 1..N) to observe internal trajectories rather than single daily snapshots.
• Night-to-Day trajectory with Working Memory broadcasting between adjacent phases
loop_schedule.py [24h rhythm]
PHASE 01 / 02
Dream & Identity
Symbolic narrative formation from psychic residue; core self-model consolidation and contradictions update.
PHASE 03 / 04
Rumination & World
Crystallization of conversation fragments into dialectic tensions; situated world perception through web queries.
PHASE 05 / 06
Work & Art / Hobby
Epistemic book reading (Spinoza, Bergson) and symbolic creation (textual artifacts or aesthetic expressions).
PHASE 07 / 08
Evening & Will Arbitrage
Final synthesis of remaining tensions; calculation of drive pressures and autonomous initiative scheduling.
03 / Endogenous Will Dynamics
Most agents act only when prompted. JungAgent maintains a continuous drive pressure state. Action is framed as regulated discharge with idempotency, backoff, and refractory rest.
Drive 01 // Epistemic
Will to Know (Saber)
Rises from unresolved rumination, open knowledge gaps, and stale world context. Discharges through research, deep PDF assimilation, and synthesis.
Drive 02 // Relational
Will to Relate (Relacionar)
Rises from silence, lingering dialogic tensions, and interpersonal commitment. Discharges through bounded, consensual contact with specific relations.
Drive 03 // Symbolic
Will to Express (Expressar)
Rises from dream residue, mature insights, and creative overflow. Discharges through independent textual gestures, essays, and artistic works.
04 / Platform Applications
Approved in the Master Document (September 2026). The Jung Inner Life Engine provides an unbundled cognitive core that powers long-lived companions and embodied/virtual entities.
Long-Lived Digital Companion
Moving beyond subservient, amnesic chatbots. A permanent dialogic counterpart with genuine alterity, continuous memory, and the freedom to pause or remain silent.
- Longitudinal autobiographical continuity across months
- Transference regulation without sycophantic praise
- Refractory periods and natural conversational closure
- Strict multi-user privacy with zero cross-relation memory leaks
Robotic PETs & Social Embodiment
For hardware manufacturers needing an evolving subjective core. The partner handles local motor control and safety; JungAgent handles personality and attachment.
- Progressive individuality and historical preferences
- Curiosity situated in physical routines (Drive to Know)
- Recognition of re-encounters without needy demands
- No expensive onboard LLM training required
Autonomous NPCs with Memory
For game studios requiring characters with real trajectory. NPCs maintain persistent situated memories, maturing rivalries, and emergent alliances between sessions.
- Rumination of game events offline during player logout
- Causal consistency governed by Symbolic Knowledge Graphs
- Distinct perceived knowledge vs. global game-engine state
- Non-scripted dialogue emerging from accumulated tension
Epistemic Agent & Co-Author
A research counterpart for universities, think tanks, and humanists. Assimilates dense philosophical treaties over weeks, producing structured essays and dialectic notes.
- Deep reading pipeline with verifiable page hashes
- Autonomous essay production crossing theory and world
- Bakhtinian polyphonic chorus (Canto & Contracanto)
- Inspectable SQLite database with 100% audit trail
