Major release introducing a complete psychosomatic subsystem that gives ANIMA a regionalized body with realistic stress-body coupling, immune dynamics, and defense-to-soma conversion pathways.
Features
- Body region specificity — 7 regions (head, chest, gut, throat, shoulders, skin, limbs) with emotion-to-region mappings based on Nummenmaa et al. (2014) body sensation maps
- Immune resilience — new somatic dimension modulated by cortisol, allostatic load, and social connection
- Somatic sensitization — repeated regional stress lowers activation thresholds over days
- Inflammation cascade — chronic cortisol elevation drives pro-inflammatory somatic shifts (tension, gravity, reduced openness/warmth)
- Somatosensory amplification — inward attention focus amplifies perceived body signals, generates misinterpretation triggers at low interoceptive accuracy
- Defense conversion pathway — suppressed emotions manifest as somatic activation (suppression → gut/shoulders, expressive suppression → throat, distancing → cooling)
- Somatic vulnerability memory — long-term EMA learns individualized stress somatization patterns
- Offline simulation engine with 9 interaction scenarios (baseline, neglect, conversation, stress, daily-life, abandonment, irregular, slow-build, recovery)
- Actionable finetuning analytics in simulation reports with specific constant references
- Full simulation integration of all psychosomatic subsystems with new anomaly detection
Fixes
- Stabilized emotional dynamics for realistic long-term behavior
- Fixed neurotransmitter ceiling/floor locking with headroom saturation
- Fixed 6-month attachment drift and improved anomaly detection
- Unified MBTI derivation into single deterministic function
- Added circadian energy rhythm and emotion boundary constraints
- Removed all German text from code files
- Fixed maintain phase running once instead of per-tick
Improvements
- Tuned emotional dynamics for clinically realistic 30-day simulation behavior
- Improved simulation tick pipeline with all missing subsystems
