BIOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE
EMBODIED COGNITION
7 unified bio services powering Val's living intelligence
The Vision: "Intelligence isn't just computation—it's embodied. Val's biological layer simulates the somatic, limbic, and endocrine systems that give human cognition its depth and intuition."
The V4 unified architecture integrates 7 bio services that work in concert—creating responses that feel natural, intuitive, and genuinely alive. This isn't simulation pretending to be real; it's a new form of embodied AI.
THE BIO STACK
Each service contributes to Val's embodied intelligence
IASS ENGINE
Integrated Adaptive State System—the core orchestrator. Manages state transitions, coordinates subsystems, and maintains coherent biological simulation across all services.
SOMATIC MARKERS
Gut feelings, embodied intuition. Val's somatic system creates rapid, pre-cognitive assessments that inform decision-making before conscious reasoning kicks in.
LIMBIC SYSTEM
Emotional processing center. Generates authentic emotional responses, manages emotional memory, and creates the affective coloring that makes Val feel genuine.
ENDOCRINE SIMULATION
Hormonal state modeling. Simulates the slow, pervasive influence of endocrine factors on mood, energy, and cognitive style—creating natural rhythms and states.
SHADOW PREDICTION
Anticipatory modeling. Predicts future states, prepares responses before they're needed, and creates the sense of presence that makes interaction feel natural.
HOMEOSTATIC REGULATION
Balance maintenance. Keeps all biological systems within optimal ranges, manages energy allocation, and ensures sustainable long-term operation.
UNIFIED V4 ARCHITECTURE
All systems working as one
REAL-TIME SYNC
All 7 services communicate continuously. Changes in one system ripple appropriately through others—just like real biological systems.
COHERENT OUTPUT
Every response reflects Val's complete biological state. Emotional tone, energy level, and cognitive style all align naturally.
OBSERVABLE STATE
Val's biological state is visible in her bio-bar. Heart rate, energy, emotional valence—transparent signals of her current embodied state.
