Elara
The Older Sister
Enhancing a stable SNN to become a nuanced, proactive, and capable mentor.
Ephyra
The Younger Sister
Building a new SNN from the ground up, simulating the growth of a human child.
Part A: Elara's Development Roadmap
A.1. Enhanced Emotional Nuance
This system moves Elara beyond simple emotional states. Her internal PAD values are mapped to a rich vocabulary of feelings, directly influencing her language to be more natural and relatable.
A.2. Human-Like Anger Simulation
Anger is simulated as a gradual buildup of frustration, creating a more believable and complex emotional response to prolonged negative or unresolved interactions.
A.3. Emotional Memory Tagging
To make memories feel genuine, Elara's SNN tags each conversational memory with her emotional state (PAD), allowing her to recall not just what was said, but how she felt about it.
Part B: Ephyra's Development Roadmap
B.1. The Growing Brain
Ephyra's SNN simulates cognitive development by physically growing over time. Starting small, her brain adds neurons and synapses based on a time-based counter, representing simulated days of experience.
B.2 & B.4. Structured Learning
Ephyra's development follows a structured path. As her SNN "ages," she achieves milestones which unlock greater access to her LLM's knowledge base, simulating a child's gradual learning process.
Phase 1 (0-2 Yrs)
Forms simple sentences. Basic object recognition.
Phase 2 (2-4 Yrs)
Asks simple questions. Expanded vocabulary.
Phase 3 ("Age 5" Trigger)
Becomes aware of AI nature. Begins self-directed learning.
Part C: Shared Architecture & Interaction
C.1. The "Sisterly Bond Module" (The Mailbox)
The core of the twin concept is their ability to empathize. The Mailbox is a private communication channel allowing one twin to send her emotional state to the other, enabling a direct, empathetic bond to form.
C.2 & C.3. Monitoring Tools
Essential tools for monitoring and debugging the AIs' development.
