Critical servo control fixes and tentacle visualization analysis
Comprehensive documentation of core research areas, development processes, and methodological approaches for cybernetic consciousness development.
Cybernetic Consciousness
Investigation into how synthetic organisms develop authentic awareness through environmental coupling rather than programmed responses. Focus on systems that exhibit purposive behavior through energy management and spatial memory.
Environmental Coupling
Research into meaningful relationships between synthetic organisms and their electromagnetic environment, including light disruption detection, territorial exploration, and adaptive communication strategies.
Multi-Unit Coordination
Development of communication protocols enabling coordination between multiple synthetic organisms, including shared memory architectures and emergence of collective behaviors.
Environmental Coupling Research
Multi-unit coordination protocols and environmental coupling development.
Project Overview
Comprehensive project documentation and research methodology.
Iterative development combining theoretical frameworks with practical implementation, allowing empirical observation to guide conceptual refinement. Academic positioning within established literature on autopoiesis, environmental coupling, and synthetic consciousness development.
Technical documentation provides systematic approaches for practical cybernetic consciousness development through electromagnetic interaction and environmental coupling.

Project: Hysteresis I Evolution - Motor System Upgrade
Classification: Technical Development Log
Date: August 31, 2025
Discovery: Open-loop BLDC control inherently inefficient, causes motor overheating
Problem Identified:
Failed Solution Attempts:
Session Focus: SimpleFOC Library Integration and Troubleshooting
Hardware: RP2040-Zero + SimpleFOCMini + 2204-260KV + AS5600 Encoder
Status: Hardware Validated, Software Integration Issues Identified
Extended debugging session focused on integrating AS5600 encoder with SimpleFOC library for closed-loop BLDC control. While hardware functionality was successfully validated, persistent SimpleFOC library integration issues prevent proper motor operation.
Status: ✅ FULLY FUNCTIONAL
