""" Aaron AI Dreamer — Active Inference Engine Interdependent stage architecture grounded in sleep consolidation research. Nightly pipeline: NREM → Early REM → Late REM → Synthesis Each stage receives the previous stage's output as context. Lucid mode is on-demand only (Dream Now from settings). Research basis: - Singh et al. PNAS 2022: alternating NREM/REM outperforms single-stage approaches - Klinzing et al. Nature Neuroscience 2019: SO-spindle-ripple coupling is interdependent - REM operates on what NREM produced — stages are not discrete alternatives """ import os import json import sqlite3 import argparse from pathlib import Path from datetime import datetime, timedelta from dotenv import load_dotenv import psycopg2 import hashlib load_dotenv(Path.home() / "aaronai" / ".env") PG_DSN = os.getenv("PG_DSN") def get_pg(): return psycopg2.connect(PG_DSN) # ─── Paths ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── CONVERSATIONS_DB = str(Path.home() / "aaronai" / "conversations.db") WATCHER_STATE = str(Path.home() / "aaronai" / "watcher_state.json") DREAMER_STATE = str(Path.home() / "aaronai" / "dreamer_state.json") JOURNAL_DIR = "/home/aaron/nextcloud/data/data/aaron/files/Journal/Daily" NEXTCLOUD_URL = os.getenv("NEXTCLOUD_URL", "https://nextcloud.aaronnelson.studio") NEXTCLOUD_USER = os.getenv("NEXTCLOUD_USER", "aaron") NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD = os.getenv("NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD", "") DREAMS_WEBDAV = f"{NEXTCLOUD_URL}/remote.php/dav/files/{NEXTCLOUD_USER}/Journal/Dreams" # Similarity ranges calibrated for all-MiniLM-L6-v2 MODE_RANGES = { "nrem": (0.48, 0.72), "early-rem": (0.38, 0.55), "late-rem": (0.22, 0.42), "lucid": (0.32, 0.72), } # ─── Prompt versioning ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Bump the relevant constant manually when changing a prompt.
