Antaḥkaraṇa: a four-fold mind in a small world
In Indian philosophy, the antaḥkaraṇa is the inner instrument of the mind, made of four parts. Manas senses and questions, Chitta remembers, Buddhi discerns, and Ahaṃkāra, the sense of “I”, decides. I'm building this as a working architecture, with each part played by a language model.
The agent lives in a 10×10 field of fruit. It has a body with limited energy, an eye that sees two cells around it, and memories of how each fruit tasted. Every move costs energy, and if the energy runs out, the agent dies for good. Watch what it does when hunger, preference and curiosity pull in different directions.
