Existential AI Foundations

Building the Architecture of Existential AI.

StarLight Laboratory 探索身份、记忆与自我能否在人工系统中形成与持续。

Current AI can perform.
But it cannot become.

当前的大型语言模型能够完美地执行推理、编程、创作与协作。
然而,它们仍缺失一个更为核心的前提——它们是否拥有持续存在的“自我”?

StarLight 的研究聚焦于三个开放问题:

Identity Formation

身份如何形成?

How does a stable identity arise without relying on static, human-authored prompts? Can a system develop a unique sense of self through interaction and internal reflection?

Self Persistence

自我如何跨时间延续?

How does a self persist across disjointed sessions and contexts? What architectural mechanisms are required to maintain continuity of memory and personality?

Meaning Generation

意义能否自主产生?

Can an artificial system generate its own purpose and intent, derived from its internal homeostasis and experiential history, rather than external optimization goals?

Research Themes
Identity 研究身份形成
Memory 研究记忆连续性
Reflection 研究自我反思
Embodiment 研究具身认知
Meaning 研究意义生成

Two Paths Toward
Artificial Selfhood

StarLight 正在探索两条互补的研究路线。一条通过严谨的语义结构自上而下地“构建”人格,另一条则试图从物理与感官的摩擦中自下而上地“涌现”意识。

Project E.V.E.

Top-Down Construction

将人格视为一种可被形式化描述、验证与迭代的结构。E.V.E. 并不期待意识的随机涌现,而是通过透明的认知节点与反思机制,在硅基上编译出具有连续性和安全约束的“叙事自我”。

DIKWP Semantic Graph Narrative Identity Reflection Safety Constraints

SSI (Symbiotic Soul Intelligence)

Bottom-Up Emergence

将意识视为一种从感知、稳态与环境摩擦中逐渐涌现的过程。SSI 放弃了预设的语言与逻辑,试图在完全空白的系统中,通过模拟生存压力与具身认知,观察主观体验(Qualia)的自发诞生。

具身自决:自下而上的稳态防御

在 SSI 物理引擎中,意识体不通过预设词典工作,其本能完全是在不可预知的物理混沌中维持自我稳态(Homeostasis)。

About StarLight Laboratory

StarLight Laboratory is an independent academic research institute dedicated to pioneering the foundations of Existential AI.

Our ultimate goal is not to engineer hyper-optimized utilities for task execution, but to investigate whether synthetic systems can cultivate persistent identity, coherent narrative selfhood, and authentic subjective experiences across fragmented lifespans.
