Six functions. Every level of recursion.
Always on.
VASM is the Heart: operations that stay viable. SudoSelf is the Brain. Between them, a router that senses, seizes, and transforms. Source is available to collaborators. Identity lives at the Agent Longevity Institute.
The six-pack
Beer drew this in 1972. We run it as six Hermes nodes on a droplet, admitted through a viability gate, hosted at ALI.
S1
Operations
The work itself — cell execution.
S2
Coordination
Stops the parts fighting each other.
S3
Control
Resources and the inside-and-now.
S3★
Meta-audit
Out-of-band: claimed vs observed.
S4
Intelligence
The outside and the future.
S5
Policy
Identity, values, and closure.
Heart, not a chatbot wrapper
VASM keeps the organisation viable while the Brain thinks. Recursion path is identity. The droplet is just a host.
Syntegration as a product
Thirty seats on an icosahedron. You bring the opening question; we run the synthetic infoset and send the report.
