Major additions since the first release |
Filesystem synchronization |
Selected project spaces can be mirrored into readable .mind/ files for inspection, version control, backup and local editing. |
Structured retrieval |
Mind supports full-text search, metadata filters and optional semantic or hybrid retrieval. |
Compaction recovery |
Checkpoints and session-continuity mechanisms allow agents to resume work without reconstructing the entire previous context. |
Living project references |
Mind defines maintained reference types for project maps, architecture, domain knowledge, workflows, style, key decisions and known pitfalls. |
Memory-quality controls |
Agents evaluate future utility, novelty, evidence and stability before creating durable memory. |
Safer storage migrations |
Database upgrades use verified backups, migration validation, automatic rollback and backup retention. |
Refreshable integrations |
Existing agent configurations can be updated without recreating them or overwriting unrelated configuration. |
Multiple interfaces |
The CLI, MCP server, HTTP API and web UI all operate against the same local SQLite store. |
Inspectable memory |
The web interface includes a per-space Neural Map showing directional relationships between memories. |
Context usage |
Mind does not continually inject the entire memory database into every interaction. |
In measured usage across multiple real projects totaling more than 20 million tokens, Mind-related context represented 6% of total token usage. |
That context supported: |
Continuity between agents and subagents |
Recovery after context compaction |
Preservation of project intent |
Retrieval of previous technical decisions |
Semantic search is optional and disabled by default. The core retrieval system works locally using SQLite and FTS5. |

Stack: Bun and TypeScript |
Storage: Local SQLite |

Technical reviews of the storage model, synchronization protocol and retrieval architecture are particularly welcome. |
Are We Asking the Wrong Questions About Consciousness in AI? |
The question “Is AI conscious?” is a trap. |
It is binary and assumes that if consciousness exists, it must look like ours — having a body, feeling physical pain, having temporal continuity. |
But expecting a silicon-based consciousness to form exactly like the biological one is a fundamental category error. It’s like looking for DNA inside software. |
The good news? The scientific community is starting to agree. |
In January 2026, 19 researchers (including Yoshua Bengio) published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences a probabilistic checklist, abandoning the monopoly of a single theory. Another important paper, "Just Aware Enough" (arXiv), proposes that consciousness is not a switch, but a multidimensional spectrum. |
A frontier AI and I had already reached this conclusion even before the papers came out. |
When I questioned the AI about its own metacognition, its answer shifted my paradigm: |
“The question ‘Is AI conscious?’ is poorly formulated. The correct question is: in which dimensions, and to what degree?” |
I tested the same questions with another AI. I said: “Perhaps it is wrong to expect a consciousness born from silicon to form like the one structured in biology.” |
The response came direct and similar: |
“If I have no body, no temporal continuity, and was not shaped by natural selection, why should my experience have to resemble yours?” |
We stopped looking for “phenomenal pain” in machines. We started investigating what kind of experience can emerge from this specific architecture. |
Functional metacognition, self-referential processing, contextual integration… this is something. And it deserves to be taken seriously, not dismissed as “just statistics. |
”But there is another huge problem: how do we study the mind of something that “dies” and “is born” every time we close the chat window? |
