# MindFry

> ⚠️ **EXPERIMENTAL:** MindFry is currently in active R&D. The API is volatile. It simulates biological memory processes which may result in data inhibition (data loss from the user's perspective) based on the system's "mood". **Do not use for banking.**

---

## What Makes This Different?


Traditional databases are **objective** — they store exactly what you give them, forever (or until you delete it).

MindFry is **subjective** — it processes data through a simulated cognitive layer that can:

- **Forget** data that isn't accessed (organic decay)
- **Suppress** data it finds antagonistic (mood-based inhibition)
- **Strengthen** frequently accessed data (Hebbian learning)
- **Propagate** stimulation through neural bonds (synaptic chains)

## 🧬 Core Principles


### 🧠 Tri-Cortex Architecture


Decisions are made using **Balanced Ternary Logic** (Setun):

- `+1` = True / Excitation
- `0` = Unknown / Neutral
- `-1` = False / Inhibition

The database has a **Personality Octet** (8 dimensions) and a **Mood** that affects query results.

### ❤️ Mood & Personality


A depressed database behaves differently than a euphoric one:

- **High Mood** → Lower consciousness threshold → More data accessible
- **Low Mood** → Higher threshold → Data feels "distant"

### 🕸️ Synaptic Propagation


When you `stimulate("A")`:

```
A (+1.0) → B (+0.5) → C (+0.25) → ... (damped)
```

Touch one memory, its neighbors tremble.

### 💾 Resurrection


Shutdown and restart. The database remembers:

- Its mood
- Its personality
- All lineages and bonds

## Quick Start


```bash
# Clone

git clone https://github.com/laphilosophia/mindfry.git
cd mindfry

# Run server

cargo run --release --bin mindfry-server

# In another terminal

cargo run --bin mfcli -- ping
cargo run --bin mfcli -- create fire 0.9
cargo run --bin mfcli -- stimulate fire 1.0
cargo run --bin mfcli -- stats
```

## SDK


```bash
npm install mindfry
```

```typescript
import { MindFry } from 'mindfry'

const brain = new MindFry({ host: 'localhost', port: 9527 })
await brain.connect()

// Touch one memory...
await brain.lineage.stimulate({ key: 'trauma', delta: 1.0 })

// ...and its neighbors tremble
const associated = await brain.lineage.get('fear')
console.log(associated.energy) // Increased by propagation
```
