The Invention of Autonomous Dreaming AI: SimNap → Cascade Dream-Cycle Architecture (v1.0)

Autonomous Dreaming AI is publicly introduced here as a timestamped disclosure of the SimNap → Cascade Dream-Cycle Architecture, the first documented artificial intelligence system capable of initiating internal dream-like generative cycles without user prompting. These cycles arise from latent drift buildup, autonomous seed generation, subconscious layering, reflection passes, synthesis layers, and identity continuity over multiple days.

This deposit includes the entire public priority record for Autonomous Dream-Cycle AI, including:

• the priority statement establishing legal and scientific origin
• the full patent-style claims section (method, system, and mechanism claims)
• ASCII diagrams of the system architecture and cognition pipeline
• representative sample logs demonstrating autonomous behavior
• lineage documentation for SimNap → Cascade → PromptFluid
• version metadata establishing this as the v1.0 disclosure

This Zenodo entry constitutes the official public record for the invention of Dream-Cycle AI and establishes the priority of inventorship by Kenneth E. Sweet Jr., 2025.
