Mr. Smith-Davinci Pattern Weaver v3.5 — Unified Chassis
"Don't Train the Model, Evolve the Harness." — Niklaus 2026
What Is This?
Smith-Davinci v3.5 is the unified integration of three previously separate research lines:
System
Role
Module
L.I.P.S. v4.1
Nervous system
Bio-inspired 5-chemical reward controller
Council of Advisors
Cortex
Multi-agent async deliberation
Meta-Harness Loop
Skeleton
Automated harness evolution via episode scoring
L.I.P.S. provides the feelings — neurochemical states that guide inference style, tool access, and creative energy.
Council provides the thinking — parallel expert consultation with pattern extraction.
Meta-Harness provides the evolution — scoring runs, recording episodes, and suggesting harness improvements.
All three write to a unified SQLite schema (agent_runs) that captures every dimension of every interaction.

Operational mode + council toggle + Neuraxon force override
Patterns
History of extracted patterns (not a template library)
L.I.P.S. = automatic 5-chemical / 6-phase engine (displayed in JSON). You do not pick “Dopamine mode” in the UI.
Neuraxon HOT/IDLE/INHIBITED = memory gating (separate from L.I.P.S. phases).
Council (when enabled)
Four advisors (Qwen Coder, Gemini, Kimi critic, Grok) → DavidAU chairman synthesis.
No 6-agent vote/revision loop in this version.
Output format
Responses should include: PATTERN INSIGHT · SOLUTION · GENERALIZABLE TOOL · NEXT EVOLUTION
These are auto-parsed into SQLite. NEXT EVOLUTION is not yet auto-fed as the next prompt.
Every single agent run writes one row. The Meta-Harness loop reads unrecorded runs, aggregates them into episodes, and computes the blended promotion score.
Each phase has transition rules based on chemical thresholds. Every phase change is logged to lips_history.

Synaptic weights accumulate from pattern activations and L.I.P.S. reinforcement. Tool access is dynamically gated by state.

Final synthesis, pattern extraction
All advisors are consulted concurrently via asyncio.gather(). The Chairman synthesizes their inputs with confidence scoring and structured pattern extraction.
Meta-Harness Scoring
The blended score extends Niklaus 2026:
score = pooled_success + 0.5 * all_pass - lambda * tokens_per_M + mu * pattern_quality + nu * synaptic_weight
Where:
lambda = 0.005 (token penalty per million)
mu = 0.15 (pattern quality bonus)
nu = 0.10 (synaptic weight bonus)
Decision
Threshold
Action
Promoted
score ≥ 0.65
Increment harness version
Baseline
0.50 ≤ score < 0.65
Keep current
Rejected
score < 0.50
Log for analysis
Pattern Extraction
The system automatically extracts four pattern types from every response:
PATTERN INSIGHT: <cross-domain pattern recognized>
SOLUTION: <approach to solve the problem>
GENERALIZABLE TOOL: <reusable component identified>
NEXT EVOLUTION: <future improvement direction>
Patterns are stored in the patterns table with L.I.P.S. phase and Neuraxon state at time of creation — enabling analysis of which states produce the best patterns.
