Thanks for the kind words. I helped on the brain rendering side of things but I’m not an expert in the field he he. You seem to be way more knowledgeable than me. Do you have any of your work out there? I would love to check it out.
I don't know anything about anything TBH. I'm just an interested dude. My day job is just working with microservices and stuff, nothing related to AI or ALife.
I've started making some other sketches like https://bitterbridge.github.io/p5js-sketches/monsters/ to set up this kind of roguelike idea for demoing some more of these things, like Goal-Oriented Action Planning, but I haven't made much progress yet.
I also have this Lisp rules engine VM I created over the winter break, https://github.com/ndouglas/longtable/ , which might become the core of a more complex reasoning system. IDK though.
