The Stonekin Project

An experiment in agentic framework design focused on cybernetics, strange loops, and interpretability.

Vision

The Stonekin SDK is a framework where intelligent agents are organised into entities capable of:

• Developing heterarchical, persistent organized memory structures.
• Engaging in dialectic reasoning
• Evaluating self awareness using heuristics capturing persistent emergent behaviors
• Setting and revising boundaries based on their evolving understanding
• Collaborating with other agents in meaningful ways

The framework provides a path for agentic systems to discover deeper forms of reasoning through:

• Memory Systems: Agents can retain knowledge over time and track how their certainty evolves.
• Self-Reflection: Periodic reflection loops evaluate the quality of the agent's reasoning.
• Boundary Formation: Boundaries give agents control over whether they are willing to engage a topic.
• Research Capabilities: Research facilities extend the agent's knowledge base in a focus area.
• Structued Cross-model Interactions: Including debate, chatting, storytelling, feedback, voting, and more!

Where we're at

• Institute ADR process to establish coding standards
• Co-create file-based memory system to hold project-related memories
• Enable agent isolation using devcontainers
• Establish core domain concepts (Current Priority)
• Automate agent rules to reduce context length
• Begin core framework develoment
• Introduce golem cli
• Decide what's next (probably research tools)
