Abstract

Netti-AI is a biologically-inspired cognitive engine that simulates essential aspects of human-like cognition

through symbolic neural structures, memory activation pathways, and emotion-aware processing. Built in C++

with modular extensibility, Netti-AI supports real-time prediction, emotional state modeling, and associative

learning. This white paper outlines the motivation, design, architecture, and potential applications of Netti-AI

as a foundation for adaptive, conscious-like artificial intelligence systems.

1. Introduction

Contemporary artificial intelligence excels at scale but struggles with symbolic reasoning, long-term memory,

and emotional nuance. Most systems are stateless, reactive, and unable to evolve contextually over time.

Netti-AI proposes a new approach: an engine that models memory as activation pathways, emotions as

mood state vectors, and reasoning as symbolic association.

Netti-AI isn't just a neural network; it's a simulation of cognition.

2. Background

Recent progress in deep learning has produced powerful models for pattern recognition and generative tasks.

However, such models are often opaque, lack agency, and are difficult to interpret or guide. Classical

symbolic AI, while interpretable, lacks adaptability.

Netti-AI: White Paper

Netti-AI combines:

- Symbolic tokenization

- Dynamic neural links with weighted activation

- Hebbian learning mechanisms

- Mood-emotion feedback loops

- Episodic memory and recall

3. System Architecture

Core Components:

- Tokenizer: Converts input into tagged tokens (e.g., word:cat, punc:?, mood:happy)

- Neuron Network: Nodes represent concepts, states, or symbols; links are weighted and directional

- Activation Engine: Simulates propagation, feedback, inhibition, and decay

- Memory System:

- Short-Term Context Window

- Long-Term Linkage Persistence

- Episodic Archive

- Mood Layer: A distributed vector influencing prediction pathways and link strength

- CLI Interface: Enables human-readable interaction, training, and inspection

4. Features

- Token-based memory activation

- Emotionally modulated reasoning

- Episodic tagging and recall

- Mood feedback loop (mood <-> context)

- Symbolic math and structured logic tagging

- Graph export (Graphviz)

- Embedded-ready C++ architecture

5. Use Cases

- Conversational agents with memory and personality (e.g., TALIA)

Netti-AI: White Paper

- Embedded robotics with adaptive behavior (e.g., SNL-1)

- Cognitive game AI with emotional state

- Research tools for cognitive science and artificial memory systems

- Real-time feedback systems that adapt based on affective state

6. Roadmap

- v0.3.2 (2025 Q2): Mood feedback, math tagging, association snapshots

- v0.4.0 (2025 Q3): Modular plugins, external sensors, reinforcement hooks

- v1.0.0 (2026): API release, docs, stable builds for public and partners

7. Future Work

- Visual memory and spatial awareness

- Language grounding and narrative modeling

- Integration with TALIA frontend for cognitive assistant simulation

- Emotion-encoded memory prioritization

8. Conclusion

Netti-AI aims to shift the paradigm from statistical pattern recognition to cognition simulation. Through mood,

memory, and symbolic association, it offers a more human-centric model of intelligence. We invite

collaborators, researchers, and developers to build with Netti-AI and help define the next generation of

adaptive machines.
