Architecture

Macro

At its heart is the SoftwareUKS (Universal Knowledge Store), a central hub where concepts, relationships, and rules come together, surrounded by SoftwareModules for language, vision, and action. By connecting these modules through a unified ConceptGraph (graph of knowledge), we can begin to see how software can move beyond isolated tasks and toward something much closer to real brain-like intelligence.

At the core of the Brain Simulator 3 is the Universal Knowledge Store, or UKS. You can think of it as the brain's memory and reasoning hub, a single unified repository where all information is stored as interconnected nodes and relationships. The UKS isn't just a passive database, it's the place where inheritance, exceptions, bidirectionality, and generalization all come together to create meaningful knowledge. Without this kind of central structure, inputs would remain disconnected, and outputs would be nothing more than pre-programmed reflexes.

Surrounding the UKS in the Brain Simulator 3 project are the modules that connect it to the outside world. This hub and spoke model means that every sense and every action use the same structure internally, the structure of the UKS graph. This architecture makes Brain Simulator 3 fundamentally different from most AI systems today. Instead of building separate models for language, vision, and robotics, each with their own isolated representations, this approach unifies them through a single graph structure.

Micro

The concept that an overall ConceptAGI network will be created from numerous instances drawn from a library of neural functionality is a key theory in the architecture of the system.

/It is a reasonable idea based on the knowledge that the brain contains many more neurons and synapses than could be explicitly described (or even initialized) in our DNA. Instead, it is likely that our DNA defines basic network structures and these structures grow and repeat within the brain as it develops.

Neurons and synapses are addressable by index (SoftwareNeuronIndex) or label (SoftwareNeuronLabel).
