docs(exploration): prior-art survey for L2 runtimes + L3 cognition#24
Merged
Conversation
Fills the T2/T4 context gap — the L2/L3 prior-art survey was only in chat, never written to docs (grep found just scattered name-drops). - exploration/prior-art-l2-l3.md — current (2026) community/research work for the harness runtime (L2: ElizaOS/OpenClaw/Hermes/Voyager/PIANO) and cognition layer (L3: Generative Agents, Letta/MemGPT/Mem0, Colas/MAGELLAN, needs/personality frameworks), mapped to our needs. Two tensions: optimization bias is everywhere (borrow goal-generation, drop the reward objective — adr-0004); the "non-optimal believable long-horizon" gap is confirmed = the project's contribution. Recommendations feed T2 (runtime: ElizaOS-core + OpenClaw-gateway + Hermes- fallback) and T4 (reuse Generative Agents memory/reflection + Letta/Mem0; goal-gen from Colas minus learning-progress; needs/identity from Sophia/needs-emergence). - ROADMAP — harness-runtime gate now cites the lean; note added to Open explorations.
