AetheryaAetherya publishes the models, contracts, and validation work behind Thesia. The research program exists to make cognitive simulation a measurable discipline rather than a plausible one.
Myrias is the cognition model behind every simulated person on Aetherya. This is what it gets right, measured against real people: predicted versus actual shares across three public datasets, every figure scored on held-out participants the model was never fitted to, and calibration reported alongside accuracy. Where a simpler method does as well, it says so.
Transcripts preserve events but not currency, vector indexes find similar passages but not authority, and summaries save tokens while hiding uncertainty and lineage. Anamnesis separates source authority, epistemic status, retrieval utility, visibility authority, and executable authority, and forbids authority inflation through retrieval or summarization.
Each line of work feeds the others. The cognition model proposes a mechanism, grounding gives it a population, validation says where it holds, and memory keeps the audience honest over time.
