§Jantu
Jantu (जन्तु — Sanskrit for “creature, living being”) — ethology and creature behavior engine for the AGNOS ecosystem.
Provides instinct modeling, survival drives, territorial behavior, social hierarchy, swarm intelligence, pack dynamics, and creature lifecycle. The biological foundation layer that bhava’s human personality builds upon — the medulla oblongata of the personality stack.
§Relationship to Bhava
Bhava models the human mind (personality, emotion, reasoning). Jantu models the animal brain underneath — the instincts that evolution preserved. Human emotions are refined animal instincts:
bhava::stress→ jantu fight-or-flight (reptilian)bhava::relationship→ jantu pair bonding (mammalian)bhava::contagion→ jantu emotional contagion (pack behavior)bhava::flow→ jantu predatory focus (hunting state)bhava::energy→ jantu foraging/resting cycles
