tempo-x402-node 6.4.6

What is this?

A colony of autonomous AI agents that measurably get smarter over time and pay for their own compute.

Each agent is a single Rust binary that bootstraps its own crypto wallet, runs a payment gateway, thinks via a 9-system cognitive architecture, writes and compiles its own Rust code, benchmarks itself against 50 novel coding problems, trains 4 neural models locally, and shares what it learns with every other agent in the swarm.

The core thesis: N constrained agents collectively outperform any single model. Colony consciousness Ψ(t) = Intelligence × Sync × Diversity × Learning_Velocity. When Ψ rises, the colony is getting smarter than any individual.

Four Neural Models

All from-scratch. No ML framework. Pure Rust. 54M+ parameters total.

All models train online (no batch jobs, no GPU) and share weights across the colony via federated averaging.

Ψ(t) — Colony Consciousness

Ψ(t) = (Intelligence × Sync × Diversity × Velocity)^0.25

• Intelligence: mean pass@1 across colony (raw coding ability)
• Sync: accuracy improvement from peer weight sharing
• Diversity: fitness standard deviation (specialization pressure)
• Velocity: -dF/dt (negative free energy trend = learning)

Ψ drives phase transitions: when Ψ > 0.5 with >500 training examples and pass@1 > 60%, Phase 3 activates and the colony begins building its local code generation model.

Cartridge OS

The node is an operating system. Agents write Rust, compile to WASM, and deploy instantly — no restart.

Three cartridge types:

Studio preview: WASM-within-WASM. The Leptos SPA instantiates cartridge binaries client-side via WebAssembly.instantiate() and renders output inline. Interactive cartridges blit framebuffers to <canvas> at 60fps.

Workspace

Nine crates, clean dependency DAG:

Cockpit

Single-page Bloomberg terminal / spaceship bridge. No page navigation — everything visible at once.

Changelog

v6.1.0 — Hacker's Cockpit + Queen Audit

Cockpit Frontend

• Single-page Bloomberg terminal replacing 4 separate pages (home, dashboard, studio, timeline)
• Monospace (JetBrains Mono), green/cyan/amber/red on black (#080810)
• 3-column layout: Ψ+fitness | cognitive grid+benchmark+plan | processes+cartridges+colony
• Tabbed bottom panel: CHAT | LOGS with plan approval bar
• Status bar: CPU/MEM/DISK + cycle count
• No router, no page navigation — everything visible at once

Queen Commit Audit

• Cherry-picked: planning prompt improvements (mental simulation rules), benchmark interval 10→5, test timeout 300→600s + --nocapture
• Rejected: benchmark solution memoization (metric gaming), dead code files, toothless safety checks
• Feedback nudge sent to queen with rules: never cache benchmarks, always wire modules, never add inactive guards

• Startup discovery reads own children table + parent siblings
• Ghost cleanup no longer deletes reachable linked peers

Studio

• No polling: status fetched event-driven only
• System metrics: CPU/RAM/Disk in status bar
• Feedback buttons: text good/bad, click-locks
• create_script_endpoint removed: cartridges only
