I built THEOS — two reasoning engines running simultaneously in
  opposite directions. The left engine is constructive, the right
  adversarial. A governor measures contradiction between them and
  sustains reasoning until the best available answer emerges — or
  reports irreducible disagreement honestly.

  The result that started this: ask any AI what the difference is
  between being alone and being lonely.

  Standard AI: "Being alone is physical isolation. Loneliness is
  emotional disconnection."

  THEOS: "They are independent of each other — one does not cause
  the other. You can be in a crowded room and feel completely unseen.
  Loneliness is not the absence of people. It is the absence of
  being understood."

  Happy to answer technical questions about the architecture.
