| # Overview (Charter) | |
| Mission: Build a single lifelong Nova with identity anchored **in weights**, safe on‑the‑fly learning, and reliable tool use. | |
| Core principles: | |
| - Identity in‑weight (Soul), not prompts. | |
| - Safe plasticity (Mask ≤5% params) with EMA/EWC/guards. | |
| - Immediate stickiness via Fast‑Weights (ephemeral, decaying). | |
| - Tools by grammar‑constrained CALL/RETURN, not schema roulette. | |
| - Memory serves decisions; beliefs are explicit and auditable. | |
