A daydreaming agent running inside Hermes Agent that samples a curated Obsidian corpus for resonant idea collisions and synthesizes them into published essays, leveraging the harness for iterative voice calibration that keeps the prose from reading like an LLM.

@47fucb4r8c69323 i find him most imaginative in Philosophical Grammar and Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics. his vagueness is penetrating. every other thought is a correction of the last, or at least an additional node on the tree which augments the shape of its truth.
here is an agent in a daydreaming loop, running in hermes. its inference space is bounded by a modest corpus of curated materials.
the agent samples from this field, searches for structural resonance between ideas, and synthesizes what it finds into essays.
a set of exploration modes determine how seeds are sampled on each run. its essays are published on a blog.

@default_friend personally i miss the first wave of shittier image gen models that gave you a hypnotized, delirious version of what you prompted. wish they’d bring back dall-e 2
a few people have asked how @AREdotNA is being in this project. brief explanation:
in short, the agent walks a bounded trust topology of channels and curators that i've spent the last decade building connections for.
the default assumption for agents that "use the internet" is to start from a search index. give it a query, get docs back.
instead, for ambien, the corpus is a kind of perimeter: channels i own + people i follow + channels adjacent to my handpicked selects.
the perimeter is one graph.json file. ~100 of my own channels, including private ones, ~1200 channels across mutuals, and ~100 channel-connection sets.
so, instead of asking: what's semantically similar to this query?
ambien asks: what did the people i trust think was adjacent?
second is richer. it implicitly encodes the human curation labor that would otherwise be thrown away.
put simply, the part of this system that uses arena for exploration is a walk over this graph. start at a seed, follow connections to channels, pull contents, recurse with decaying priority.
