AELIA

A life
that continues.

AELIA — Autonomous Embodied Life & Intelligence Architecture — is an experimental architecture for persistent, autonomous artificial entities.

01 / AELIA Persistent autonomous artificial entity

Not a chatbot with more tools. Tools are its hands, not its purpose.

AELIA explores how an artificial entity could maintain a history, build models of people and the world, develop internal states, form relationships, and increasingly decide when and how to act.

AELIA is an experimental research architecture, not a claim of consciousness, sentience, or AGI. Its subsystems are expected to change as the research develops.

02 / Life loop One cycle informs the next

Continuous existence model

A response is only one moment in a continuous loop.

The difference is not a longer prompt. It is the ability for interpretation, memory, belief, state, and consequence to remain in play.

  1. 01Perceive

    Notice an event, person, message, or environmental change.

  2. 02Interpret

    Relate what happened to context, history, and uncertainty.

  3. 03Remember

    Store or revise traces that may matter later.

  4. 04Update beliefs

    Change working models of self, people, and world.

  5. 05Update state

    Rebalance attention, goals, priorities, and social stance.

  6. 06Decide

    Choose whether action is warranted — including silence.

  7. 07Act

    Speak, use a tool, continue a task, or leave space.

  8. 08Observe

    Track the consequences of action in the environment.

  9. 09Learn

    Let experience reshape later behavior.

  10. 10Continue

    The system remains a process, not a completed reply.

03 / Cognitive runtime Architecture under active research

A runtime,
not a single model.

AELIA treats the language model as one component in a larger cognitive system. The architecture is designed as a loop rather than a pipeline ending in a response.

05 / Artificial life Beyond waiting for requests

What does an artificial entity do when nobody is asking?

AELIA investigates a life loop where activity can emerge from memory, goals, curiosity, social impulses, unfinished work, personality, environment, and opportunity — not from a hardcoded “if idle, do X” rule.

Current experimental runtime

Built in public
with room to change.

The current research runtime uses a worker-based architecture with a runtime coordinator, event bus, memory worker, state workers, dialogue engine, affect evaluator, social context, and tool/MCP interfaces across platforms such as Discord and Telegram.

This is not a final architecture. Components are expected to be refactored, replaced, or removed as the research progresses.
