Coherent Cognition Framework — Phase I Prototype

Release Notes — v1.0.2 (Phase I Prototype)

This release introduces the Phase I structural prototype of the Coherent Cognition Framework.

The system implements a minimal coherence-regulated cognitive architecture designed to demonstrate structural and dynamical principles described in the associated research paper.

Core Components

• Global State G(t) representation
• Claim Dependency Graph for structured beliefs
• Coherence Metrics (C1–C6)
• Coherence Regulator with repair dynamics
• Cognitive tick loop
• Visualization of coherence trajectories and claim graphs

Demonstrated Behaviors

• Graceful degradation under semantic contradiction
• Confidence decay for unsupported high-confidence claims
• Identity stability across task variation
• Observable coherence dynamics over time

These behaviors emerge from coherence-driven regulation rather than rule-based scripting.

Purpose of This Release This is a structural research prototype, intended to provide a computational instantiation of theoretical principles. It is not a task-performing AI system.

Next Steps Future releases will extend the framework with A-Test Lite evaluation, scaling of belief structures, and integration layers.
