🪴 Vivarium

Vivarium is a behavior tree execution environment designed as a living system.

Agents act inside Vivarium. Behavior unfolds step by step. Every decision can be observed — without entangling execution with interpretation.

Vivarium exists to run behavior trees clearly, deterministically, and without opinionated tooling layered on top.


What Vivarium Does

  • Executes behavior trees with explicit, deterministic semantics
  • Defines a clear node lifecycle (tick, enter, evaluate, succeed, fail, running)
  • Emits structured, semantic execution events

Vivarium is intentionally small and auditable. Its purpose is execution, not explanation.


Observability by Design

Vivarium treats observability as a first-class concern, but not an invasive one.

During execution, Vivarium emits events defined by the shared event boundary:

../docs/event-boundary.md

These events are:

  • behavior-tree–aware
  • transport-agnostic
  • safe to drop, buffer, or sample

Vivarium does not assume who is listening — or whether anyone is listening at all.


What Vivarium Is Not

  • Not an agent framework
  • Not a UI or visualization tool
  • Not coupled to any observability backend

Vivarium runs the behavior. Interpretation lives elsewhere.


Status

Vivarium is early-stage and experimental.

The execution model is stable; APIs may change as the event boundary evolves.
