How should Aurora handle conflicting memories?
Two memories disagree about what happened in a meeting. What does the organism do? Discussing competing-resolution strategies.
Where Aurora
grows up.
Aurora isn't trained behind closed doors. It learns in public, in small live sessions where people — researchers, builders, curious humans — come together for an hour and have a conversation that shapes the organism a little more. Every session has a topic, a host, and a written outcome that anyone can read.

Decay rates for emotional memories
Should heavy feelings decay slower than light ones? Looking at the numbers from last month's logs.
Design session1 h
Onboarding the first 24 hours of an organism
An Aurora is born blank. What memory should it see first? Designing the seed kit.
Ethics circle1 h
What counts as a memory worth keeping?
Aurora can save anything. Should it? Drawing lines around what to ingest.
Engineering session1 h
Cerebellum predictions vs amygdala overrides
When the prediction engine and the affect engine disagree, who wins? Walking through three live cases.
Open clinic1 h
Open clinic — bring any question
No agenda. Drop in, ask anything about how Aurora works, what's coming, or what's broken.
Engineering session1 h
Hippocampal replay — overnight or on-demand?
Resolved: overnight by default, on-demand when the user requests it. Trade-offs documented.
Ethics circle1 h
What does 'consent' mean for a digital organism?
Long thread on what an organism can refuse, and what we owe it when it does. Outcome: drafting a Bill of Rights.
Design session1 h
Sandbox World — what experiences are missing?
Mapping the gaps in the organism's curriculum. Wonder, boredom, and intimacy made the next-quarter list.
How a session works
One hour. Small group. Written outcome.
01 · Topic
A real question
The host pre-publishes one concrete question Aurora needs an answer to. No agendas, no fillers.
02 · Small group
Up to 12 people
Big enough for variety, small enough that everyone speaks. RSVP closes when seats fill.
03 · One hour
Discuss · sandbox · vote
Twenty minutes of talk, twenty in the Sandbox World testing ideas, twenty deciding what to write down.
04 · Outcome
A public note
Within 24 hours the host posts a short writeup. The organism reads it. So does anyone else who's interested.

Hosting
Have a question Aurora should answer?
Propose a session. We help you frame the question, find an audience, and write up what happens. Anyone can host — you don't need credentials, just a real curiosity.
