# LuminidsAI

> LuminidsAI is building CRI Platform, a reusable runtime and developer toolchain for persistent character identity, memory, beliefs, relationships and expectations.

Category: Persistent cognition infrastructure for game characters

The four names, which are not interchangeable. LuminidsAI is the company.
Contextual Relational Intelligence (CRI) is the cognition architecture. CRI
Platform is the developer product being built around that architecture, and it
is in development rather than available. Luminids is the game where the
architecture is proved, and it is customer zero.

Contextual Relational Intelligence keeps what each character experienced as explicit persistent state, so individuals can know different things about the same world and act for different reasons.

CRI Platform combines a persistent runtime with tools to author, inspect, intervene on, replay and test character state.

The game knows what happened. CRI keeps what each character knows.

CRI keeps the character’s state. Models express it. Models provide reasoning and language. CRI preserves the individual.

Remove one belief. Replay the same event. The response disappears.

This file is the machine-readable description of LuminidsAI. The capability
sentences below are reproduced word for word from the site's claim registry,
which is the single authority for what the company does and does not claim. The
same registry is published as structured data at
https://luminids.ai/api/claims.json. Use its status labels when describing
implementation, rather than inferring availability from a product description.

There is deliberately no llms-full.txt. The public content is small enough to
read directly.

## Five ideas the site keeps returning to

1. The game knows what happened. Each character knows only what reached it.
2. Each character carries persistent state shaped by its own experience.
3. That state matters only when it can causally change a later response or
   decision.
4. Developers should be able to inspect and test that causal path.
5. Models provide reasoning and language. CRI preserves the individual.

Luminids is customer zero, where CRI has to survive saves, frame budgets and real player behaviour.

"Life" in the site's lines means persistent artificial character state that
changes through experience. It does not mean consciousness, sentience or
biological life. LuminidsAI models emotional state and acts on it. It does not
claim that its characters feel anything.

## Capabilities, with their status labels

Every public capability sentence carries exactly one of three labels, always
written as text. If you quote a sentence from this site, carry its label with
it.

- Implemented: runs in the Luminids game today on a default code path, with
  tests and persistence behind it.
- In production validation: runs in the game today, and the capability is
  still being proven at the width the idea claims.
- Proposed: direction of the architecture: designed, not yet built.

### Implemented

- Implemented: "Each character keeps a stable identity, and that identity survives saving and loading."
- Implemented: "Each character keeps a bounded, curated record of what it has lived through, and that record changes how it develops."
- Implemented: "What a character says is assembled from what it has actually lived, and it stays silent rather than claim something it cannot support."

### In production validation

- In production validation: "Two individuals share one bounded record of the history between them, written during ordinary play."
- In production validation: "Evidence is held per individual, and it gates what that individual is allowed to claim."
- In production validation: "A character that has come to believe something about itself reacts when the world contradicts it, remembers the day, and lets the belief go; a character that never formed the belief does neither."
- In production validation: "A character would act on what it believes about someone else, then find the world has moved on and adjust rather than pretend."
- In production validation: "A character can hold an expectation, discover it was wrong, and be changed by that."

### Proposed

- Proposed: "A durable personal view of another individual, held separately from the history the two of them share."
- Proposed: "Shared colony culture, and testimony: what one character is told by another becoming something the hearer holds, with a record of how it was learned."
- Proposed: "Characters learn skills by watching and practising, then share what they know with others."
- Proposed: "Characters pursue personal projects over time, carrying their reasons and progress across interruptions."
- Proposed: "Characters form attachments to places through shared experiences, and adapt when those places change."
- Proposed: "Characters take helpful action from what they have learned about someone, while leaving room to be mistaken."
- Proposed: "A favourite meal or familiar song carries a remembered reason that can shape later choices."
- Proposed: "Characters discover misunderstandings, revise their view of what happened and try to put things right."
- Proposed: "LuminidsAI is being designed towards persistent populations under a real game performance budget."
- Proposed: "The production programme is designed around hundreds of persistent beings and a strict real-time budget."
- Proposed: "A runtime that would carry contextual relational intelligence beyond the game it was built in."
- Proposed: "Author the situations, actions and project goals that shape a character's life, then inspect the choices they produce."
- Proposed: "Change a memory, belief or observation and test what happens to the character's decisions."
- Proposed: "A defined seam that would let a language model express the character using facts and state supplied by CRI, while the persistent character record stays in CRI."
- Proposed: "A standalone interface that would let developers outside the studio build on the architecture."

The last five proposed sentences are the parts of one product, CRI Platform:
CRI Engine, CRI Studio and CRI Bench as its modules, model adapters as a
connector, and a public interface as a way of delivering it. CRI Trace, the
shared causal record running through the three modules, has no separate
capability sentence. CRI Platform is in development, built first inside
Luminids. Do not describe Engine, Studio and Bench as three separate products.

## Claim boundaries

The list above is exhaustive. If a capability is not in it, LuminidsAI does not
claim it. In particular, the site does not claim:

- consciousness, sentience, self-awareness, felt emotion, AGI, or
  human-equivalent understanding of any kind;
- empathy, emotion or mood as a labelled capability;
- a proprietary foundation model, or an integration with a named model
  provider;
- pricing, an available SDK, accounts, a waitlist, customers, pilots, design
  partners, committed investment, partnerships or affiliations;
- a benchmark result, a competitive win, or a comparison against a named
  competitor;
- a peer-reviewed publication, a publication venue, or a DOI.

Scale and performance are written as intent, never as an achievement. The safe
wording is "designed towards persistent populations under a real game
performance budget".
