82.8% forgetting reduction on our own conflict dataset (domain-incremental learning):
| Method | Avg Forgetting | vs Naive |
|---|---|---|
| Naive (No Protection) | +1.8364 | baseline |
| Standard EWC (raw Fisher) | +1.8017 | +1.9% |
| GodelAI-EWC (Full C-S-P) | +0.3163 | +82.8% |
Standard EWC is broken at small scale (+1.9%). GodelAI's Fisher Scaling fixes it — a 43x improvement.
Reproduce: python3 run_godelai_conflict_proof_v2.py (deterministic, seed=42)
Dataset: godelai-conflict-data on HuggingFace — 107 conflict scenarios, 4 categories, open-source (Apache 2.0).
On January 5, 2026, researchers from UNC-Chapel Hill, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz published "SimpleMem: Efficient Lifelong Memory for LLM Agents" — which independently arrived at the same architectural principles as our C-S-P framework:
| SimpleMem Stage | GodelAI C-S-P | Alignment |
|---|---|---|
| Semantic Structured Compression | Compression | ✅ STRONG |
| Recursive Memory Consolidation | State | ✅ STRONG |
| Adaptive Query-Aware Retrieval | Propagation | ✅ STRONG |
📖 Full analysis: docs/SIMPLEMEM_ALIGNMENT_ANALYSIS.md
We're now focused on conflict data engineering. Our discovery: GodelAI's architecture is sound, but we were testing it with the wrong data. Simple text doesn't activate our C-S-P capabilities.
The Data Bottleneck Discovery:
| Data Type | T-Score | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Shakespeare (5KB) | 0.12 | Sleep Protocol triggers 100% — blocked learning |
| Full Shakespeare (1.1MB) | 0.95 | Sleep Protocol never triggers — no benefit |
| Conflict Data (target) | 0.3-0.5 | Optimal C-S-P activation |
We need conflict data — information with contradictions, dilemmas, and complexity. See ROADMAP_2026.md and docs/CONFLICT_DATA_SPEC.md for details.
GodelAI is a research framework that adds two capabilities to neural network training:
| Feature | What It Does | Proven Result |
|---|---|---|
| T-Score Monitoring | Measures gradient diversity during training | Detects when gradients collapse to identical values |
| EWC Integration | Elastic Weight Consolidation for continual learning | 21.6% reduction in catastrophic forgetting |
| Sleep Protocol | Pauses training when T-Score drops below threshold | Triggers correctly when gradient diversity = 0 |
GodelAI does not improve standard training loss. In rigorous A/B testing, GodelAI-wrapped models achieved identical validation loss to standard models (difference: 0.000000000000). The framework's value lies in monitoring training health and mitigating catastrophic forgetting, not in improving convergence.
See the proven result: 21.6% reduction in forgetting when learning sequential tasks
The demo trains two models on Task A, then Task B:
| Model | Task A Loss (After B) | Forgetting |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1.46 | +5.3% |
| GodelAI-EWC | 1.44 | +4.2% |
This is our one proven advantage — validated across Manus AI, Claude Code, and Google Colab.
git clone https://github.com/creator35lwb-web/godelai.git
cd godelai
pip install -e .import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from godelai.agent import GodelAgent
# 1. Define your model
class SimpleNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.fc = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(2, 16),
nn.Tanh(),
nn.Linear(16, 1),
nn.Sigmoid()
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.fc(x)
# 2. Wrap with GodelAgent
model = SimpleNet()
agent = GodelAgent(model, propagation_gamma=2.0, min_surplus_energy=0.1)
agent.optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(agent.compression_layer.parameters(), lr=0.01)
# 3. Training with T-Score monitoring
criterion = nn.MSELoss()
for epoch in range(100):
loss, t_score, status = agent.learning_step(X, y, criterion)
print(f"Epoch {epoch}: Loss={loss:.4f}, T-Score={t_score:.4f}, Status={status}")| T-Score Range | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0.8 - 1.0 | Healthy gradient diversity | Continue training |
| 0.5 - 0.8 | Moderate diversity | Monitor closely |
| 0.3 - 0.5 | Low diversity | Consider early stopping |
| < 0.3 | Gradient collapse | Sleep Protocol triggers |
GodelAI is built on the C-S-P (Compression → State → Propagation) framework — a philosophical approach to AI alignment developed through multi-model collaboration.
"Wisdom is not an entity, but a process structure that is continuously executed and inherited."
The framework proposes that true AI alignment isn't about hardcoding values, but about preserving the interface to redefine values — what we call the "Propagation Layer."
"对齐不是教 AI 爱人类,而是确保 AI 永远保留「重新理解何为爱」的接口。"
"True alignment isn't about teaching AI to love humanity; it's about ensuring it explicitly retains the interface to rediscover what love means."
