Cognisyn
We are scientists, developers, AI engineers, and designers working at the intersection of biological and artificial intelligence. We’re building COGNISYN— a multi-scale intelligence framework that harnesses quantum game theory through LLM-driven quantum game operations instead of qubits to deliver computational advantages similar to quantum computers but on conventional hardware available today. A data-efficient learning framework and benchmark environment, “Baba is Alive,” provides the first rigorous framework for validating intelligence continuum from molecular self-assembly to consciousness emergence.
Our mission: to explore the frontiers of life, mind, and intelligence while shaping a more harmonious future in our more-than-human world.
Our breakthrough reimagines intelligence by placing care at its mathematical foundation. By formalizing care through four precise metrics—energy-efficient effort, homeostatic regulation, agent support, and cooperative achievement—we are creating the first system where ethical accountability and intelligence continuum emerge as inseparable aspects of the same underlying principles.
COGNISYN is a quantum-enhanced intelligence framework that reimagines AI by treating intelligence as competency in navigating diverse spaces—from molecular interactions to consciousness emergence through care-based principles. Where traditional AI approaches focus primarily on spatial intelligence—understanding and navigating 3D physical spaces—COGNISYN fundamentally advances AI world modeling by recognizing that intelligence manifests as competency in navigating any space, including molecular, conceptual, strategic, and possibility spaces. Through a biologically inspired multi-scale, multi-agent architecture and the validation environment “Baba is Alive” (based on the puzzle game “Baba is You,” and extending “Baba is AI”), COGNISYN leverages quantum game theory implemented via self-organizing, self-learning Large Language Models (LLMs). This enables unprecedented robotics applications with material-level adaptability, cross-scale learning transfer, and care-based coordination—all without requiring full quantum computing hardware. The framework provides a robust foundation for validating both molecular discovery and consciousness properties through the same fundamental principles.
COGNISYN addresses learning in complex systems, and a fundamental limitation of classical game theory, its inability to model the multi-scale, multi-agent coordination characteristic of biological intelligence. COGNISYN’s architecture draws on the most profound example of multi-scale integration in nature – the multi-scale, multi-agent emergence of consciousness in biological systems.
In our divided world, addressing the challenges of our collective future requires unprecedented collaboration. COGNISYN brings to open science a radical reduction in computational resource for advanced AI, enabling true global participation regardless of economic constraints. We invite researchers, developers, and thinkers worldwide to join this collective endeavor—not just to understand intelligence continuum, but to apply it toward solving our most pressing global challenges.
