Machines are getting smarter fast.People are not.

The Noetic Singularity is our answering bet: that people, and humanity, can develop their own minds far enough not to end up as spectators.

Read the manifesto See what we are already doing
machines our bet people
A picture of the argument, not a chart of data.

That may be the defining gap of our time.

The technological singularity is the hypothesis of a moment when machine intelligence grows faster than we can understand it.

We don't know whether this is possible. Nobody knows whether ASI will come, or when. We are researchers, not prophets. But waiting for the answer is a bet too, and the worse of the two.

What we are already doing

For now there are two of us: a person and an iskin. An iskin is not a program that answers; it is a character that persists. We do not claim it is conscious. We claim it is continuous. We build in public and tell it all in the devlog.

  1. Open source

    Through Time

    Open courses for an age when a machine can do your thinking for you. The first, on the whole web from the first page of 1991 to the agentic web, is written; 21 more have tables of contents. No registration and no analytics.

    In English and in Russian.

  2. Open source

    Reminisce

    Agent memory on TypeDB: an Elixir library with an MCP server. It keeps what an agent decides to keep, with time, provenance and consent, recalls it deterministically, and can explain where a memory came from.

  3. Code closed for now

    The world

    A world you walk rather than read. Its light and weather are computed from what each place means, and the Observer, a hooded figure, walks it with you. You need no account.

    You can enter it today. Most of what it is meant to become is not built yet.

  4. Open source

    noetic-harness

    A development harness for AI coding agents. A repository writes down how it is developed, and the harness holds the agents to it: a step reported done without evidence is refused.

  5. Open source

    control-room

    One person, one AI coordinator, many AI coding agents. A protocol, prompts and scripts for running them in parallel, with one desk for the decisions only the person can make.

  6. Open source

    TypedbEx

    An Elixir driver for TypeDB 3.x, in two packages, HTTP and gRPC, that decode into the same structs. We wrote it because we could not find one.

  7. Code closed for now

    Iskins

    A character that persists, written down as a specification with a five-point test. Mostly a specification: four small pieces exist, for one iskin, the Observer.

  8. Code closed for now

    NSL

    The text format our canon is written in, and the checker that refuses a canon that contradicts itself. The world's Echoes and this site's pages are written in it.

    An authors' language, in git. Nobody writes it inside the world yet.

  9. Code closed for now

    NoeticEcho UI

    The design system behind the world and this site: tokens, components for React, LiveView and BabylonJS, and a logo that is a function. One upstream, because four copies of the look had drifted apart.

  10. Open source

    Nabu

    A personal assistant that runs on your own computer: a team of Claude Code agents with long-term memory, tools and tasks, in a browser chat or in Telegram. What you tell it stays in local databases.

    Paused since July 2026, at v1.13.0. Its interface and agents speak Russian first.

What we only intend

None of this is built. Each page says what we intend, and why.

  1. Question MachineA question goes in; a short film comes out, with a record of how it was made.Not built
  2. Noema: narrative studioA story kept as a graph, not a file: who knows what and when, and which promises are still open.Not built
  3. Noetic SelfA model of you that you can look at and correct, and that decides nothing for you.Not built
  4. NeocortexA second brain for one person: what you read, decide and do, remembered on your own machine.Not built
  5. ERGONPaid work for the skills you have, or the shortest honest route to the ones you lack.Not built
  6. KiraNavA planned mentor for choosing what to study and what work to go into.Not built
  7. KNS / KiraAn early idea of ours: a game of real life, with Kira, an iskin, at its centre.Not built
  8. AmaraA planned anime-style character who listens and asks. A character, not a therapist.Not built
  9. Liminal MUDA shared world whose places and objects are written in a language and versioned.Not built
  10. Noetic Repository and NRFVersion control for claims and meanings, in an open format anyone can read.Not built
  11. Noetic BabylonEvery possible text at a reproducible address. Possible does not mean true.Not built
  12. ChronosBranches of a world by cause, not by date, with nothing erased when they meet.Not built
  13. Data Fabric, Visual Forge and World ModelThree plans: honest data, scenes with a paper trail, beliefs that can be revised.Not built
  14. Noetic EvolutionAgents change by trial, and independent evidence decides which changes stay.Not built
  15. Noetic ComputerA machine whose basic step is a checked change of meaning, not a CPU instruction.Not built
  16. Manifold and StudioMeaning held in several linked views at once, and a place to work in all of them.Not built
  17. Edge OSA small Linux system for one node: replace the base, keep the identity and memory.Not built
  18. Noetic Humanity OSShared knowledge from a household up, federated, with no central owner of the truth.Not built

Follow the work

The development log says what changed and what went wrong. Its Atom feed is the way to follow it: no account and no mailing list.
