SOMA: Somatic Wisdom Architecture — Wisdom over Memory

Project description

SOMA — Somatic Wisdom Architecture

Wisdom over Memory — 智慧超越记忆
AI agents shouldn't just remember. They should understand.

pip install soma-wisdom     # 5 minutes from zero to thinking agent
from soma import SOMA

soma = SOMA()
soma.remember("First-principles thinking: deconstruct to fundamentals...",
              context={"domain": "philosophy"}, importance=0.9)
answer = soma.respond("How to analyze our growth bottleneck?")
# → decomposes through 7 thinking laws → activates relevant memories → returns reasoned answer

Why SOMA instead of a vector database? Traditional memory (ChromaDB, Mem0) stores and retrieves. SOMA thinks first: a 7-law reasoning network decomposes problems before fetching memories. The result: agents that systematically analyze, not just pattern-match.

Installation

pip install soma-wisdom

Requires Python 3.10+. The embedding engine uses ONNX Runtime for CPU inference — no CUDA, no Docker, no external services.

First run downloads a small ONNX model (~100 MB, Chinese-English bilingual).

python -m soma          # verify everything works in one command
soma-quickstart         # or use the CLI entry point

Core Concepts

1. Wisdom Framework — 7 Thinking Laws

Law Description Weight
first_principles Reduce to fundamentals, derive from base elements 0.90
systems_thinking See interconnected wholes, identify feedback loops 0.85
contradiction_analysis Find opposing forces, identify principal contradictions 0.80
pareto_principle Focus on the vital 20% that drives 80% of outcomes 0.75
inversion Think backwards — how could this fail? 0.70
analogical_reasoning Map structures across domains 0.65
evolutionary_lens Observe change over time, identify lifecycle stages 0.60

Customize in wisdom_laws.yaml (bundled in the package — always available).

New in v0.5: Laws are no longer a flat list — they form a reasoning network. When a law triggers, its relations propagate activation to related laws (×0.35–0.50 bonus). When two laws fire together, synthesized perspectives emerge (e.g., "First Principles × Systems Thinking → Root-Cause System Analysis").

2. Bidirectional Activation — Hybrid RRF

Memories are matched through weighted Reciprocal Rank Fusion:

  • Vector semantic similarity (×2 weight) via ONNX embeddings
  • Keyword exact match (×1 weight)

Both directions compete and complement, producing true relevance scores.

3. Meta-Evolution — Self-Optimization

SOMA tracks success/failure of each thinking law across sessions. Every 5 sessions, evolve() automatically:

  • Memory consolidation: similar memories automatically merged, reducing redundancy
  • Active forgetting: low-value memories archived with Ebbinghaus decay curves
  • Bias detection: laws used >40% of the time get penalized (-0.05) to prevent thinking ruts; underused high-success laws get boosted (+0.03)
  • Dynamic step sizing: adjustment magnitude scales with sample count (0.01 → 0.02 → 0.03)
  • Skill solidification: successful (law, domain, outcome) patterns become permanent skills after 3+ occurrences

4. Memory Types

Type Storage Search
Episodic SQLite + vector BLOB Hybrid (semantic + keyword RRF)
Semantic SQLite triple store Keyword + graph traversal
Skill SQLite pattern store Keyword + domain matching

5. v0.8.0 — Knowledge Graph & Reasoning Engine

Six new capabilities that upgrade SOMA from a memory store to a reasoning system:

Graph Retrieval Expansion — Keywords are no longer isolated. _expand_via_semantic_graph() traverses the knowledge graph (BFS depth=2) to discover neighbor concepts, breaking retrieval silos. O(1) hash lookup replaces full node scan.

Causal ReasoningCausalGraph builds causal chains from semantic triples. causal_analyze() traces root causes and downstream effects, answering "why" questions with graph-backed evidence chains.

Conflict DetectionConflictDetector identifies logically contradictory memories (e.g., "price drop → churn" vs "service quality → churn"). Conflicts are flagged with similarity-weighted scores and penalized in activation ranking. Batch ONNX encoding ensures sub-100ms detection.

Bidirectional Activation v2 — High-activation memories now propagate backward to suggest new thinking foci (_backward_propagate()). The memory→focus feedback loop discovers perspectives the initial decomposition missed.

Cross-Domain Analogy EngineAnalogyEngine maps structural patterns across domains. When two unrelated domains share identical graph topology (e.g., "supply chain bottleneck" ≈ "blood vessel blockage"), SOMA bridges them automatically. Structural signature caching avoids repeated graph scans.

Quality EvaluationQualityEvaluator scores reasoning output on consistency (answer vs memory alignment), coherence (structure and logic), and actionability (concrete steps). Low-quality answers are flagged with needs_reflection for downstream handling.

Performance: v0.8.0 query latency 209ms (v0.7.0: 33ms baseline, 1098ms pre-optimization). The 6x increase over v0.7.0 buys graph expansion + causal chains + conflict detection + cross-domain analogy — all in a single query path. For raw speed, use query_memory() which skips framework overhead.

6. v0.9.0 — Multi-Agent Collaboration

Four new modules that upgrade SOMA from a single thinking agent to a collaborative team:

Agent RegistryAgentRegistry formalizes agent expertise. Each agent registers with domain tags (e.g., "法律/合同/诉讼"), and find_experts() matches queries to specialists via exact (1.0) or fuzzy (0.7) tag matching. Zero external dependencies — pure in-memory dict + dataclass.

Expert RouterExpertRouter uses a 3-tier routing strategy: L1 keyword match (8 domains × 80+ keywords, sub-ms), L2 semantic match (cosine similarity via ONNX), L3 default fallback. Zero LLM calls in routing decisions. Supports single-expert and multi-expert routing.

Consensus ProtocolConsensusProtocol synthesizes multiple expert opinions through 3 strategies: L1 weighted voting (success-rate weighted), L2 LLM arbitration (for high-stakes decisions), L3 dialectic synthesis (thesis + antithesis → synthesis). Works without LLM in pure-rule mode.

Distributed EvolutionDistributedEvolver lets each agent evolve independently while periodically merging global weights (sample-count-weighted average). Conflict arbitration kicks in when weight divergence exceeds 0.2, preserving individual specialization while sharing collective experience.

Memory Isolation — Three-state memory isolation via agent_id + group_id: private (agent_id=self), group-shared (shared_group_id), and global (agent_id=""). All retrieval paths transparently respect isolation boundaries.

7. v0.9.1 — Sunyata Awareness Layer

A new dimension: awareness. SOMA now detects when you're over-anchored to a single cognitive frame and gently nudges — without blocking, forcing, or changing the pipeline.

Frame Anchoring DetectorFrameAnchoringDetector with 8 cognitive frame pairs (技术/商业/管理/法律/短期/长期/内求/外求). Pure keyword matching — zero LLM/embedder dependency. Detects when ≥60% of recent 5 turns fall into the same frame, then suggests neglected opposite frames as a blockquote footnote at the prompt's end.

Backward Compatible by Design — All new features controlled by enable_frame_detection: bool = False. Existing code upgrades with zero changes. The awareness nudge uses low-interference blockquote formatting at the prompt's end — it won't dominate the reasoning flow.

soma = SOMA()
soma._agent.config.enable_frame_detection = True  # opt-in
# SOMA now notices when you're stuck in one perspective
# and adds a gentle footnote: "您已连续5轮从「技术视角」分析..."

REST API (Language-Agnostic)

# Start server
SOMA_API_KEY=your-key python dash/server.py    # → http://localhost:8765

# Standard chat
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/chat \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"problem": "How to improve team productivity?"}'

# SSE streaming (decompose → activate → delta → done)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/chat/stream \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"problem": "Analyze our growth bottleneck"}'

# Memory search
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/memory/search \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "growth strategy", "top_k": 10}'

Set SOMA_API_KEY env var to enable authentication. Leave unset for local development.

LangChain Tool

from soma.langchain_tool import create_soma_tool
from soma.agent import SOMA_Agent
from soma.config import SOMAConfig, load_config

agent = SOMA_Agent(SOMAConfig(framework=load_config()))
tool = create_soma_tool(agent)
result = tool.run("Analyze this problem...")

AI Coding Agent Integration (Claude Code / VS Code / JetBrains)

SOMA runs alongside AI coding tools as a persistent wisdom backend — it learns from every debug session, code review, and architectural decision.

# 1. Start SOMA server (once)
SOMA_API_KEY=dev-key python dash/server.py

Claude Code (Agent SDK) — use as a custom MCP server or REST tool:

# In your custom Claude Agent tool — persist insights across sessions
import requests
requests.post("http://localhost:8765/api/memory/remember",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "dev-key"},
    json={"content": "Bug: N+1 query in OrderService.getOrders, root cause: missing @BatchSize on items relation, fix: add Hibernate batch annotation + integration test", "importance": 0.9})

VS Code Extension — invoke via sidebar or command palette with a thin HTTP client wrapper.

Any IDE / CLI tool — just curl the REST API. No SDK required.

# Record a debug finding
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/memory/remember \
  -H "X-API-Key: dev-key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"Race condition in WebSocket handler: concurrent map writes on client.buf, root cause: missing mutex on write path, fix: sync.RWMutex around buffer ops","importance":0.9}'

# Recall relevant knowledge before starting a new task
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/memory/search \
  -H "X-API-Key: dev-key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"concurrency websocket golang","top_k":5}'

Real-World Impact

SOMA has been used in production across two distinct codebases — a Go-based CLI agent and a Python data platform — with the following results:

  • Bug reoccurrence dropped significantly. When a bug fix is recorded as a SOMA memory (root cause + fix pattern), later sessions on the same codebase automatically retrieve it. Developers no longer re-debug the same class of issues across sprints.
  • Architectural decisions became searchable. Each trade-off ("chose SQLite WAL over multi-worker for simplicity") is persisted with rationale context. Six months later, new team members can query "why single worker?" and get the original reasoning — not folklore.
  • Cross-project knowledge transfer worked. A concurrency pattern learned in one codebase (the Go project) activated during debugging in the other (the Python project), because SOMA's semantic search matched "race condition" across language boundaries.
  • Zero adoption friction. The Python project integrated via pip install soma-wisdom + 3 lines of code. The Go project integrated via REST API with a thin HTTP client (~50 lines). Neither required schema design, vector database setup, or infrastructure changes.
  • Evolution is automatic. After ~50 sessions, SOMA's auto-weighting surfaced that "Inversion" (thinking backwards from failure) was consistently the most useful lens for debugging tasks, while "Analogical Reasoning" shined during architecture discussions. The framework self-tuned — no manual knob-twisting needed.

Benchmarks

SOMA v0.9.1 — benchmarked with production memories from 零熵智库:

Overall Score: 80.5/100

Dimension Score Grade
Overall 80.5 Excellent
Memory 88.4 Excellent — 100% recall, 209ms query (graph+conflict+causal)
Wisdom 85.5 Excellent — causal analysis + cross-domain analogy active
Evolution 68.7 Good — 1,000+ reflections, weight auto-adaptation
Scalability 100.0 Excellent — linear scaling at 1K

Score change from v0.7.0 (84.8→80.5): v0.8.0 adds causal reasoning, conflict detection, and analogy to the scoring rubric. Memory dimension reflects new graph-expanded search overhead (209ms vs 3.74ms in v0.7.0 bare keyword path).
