Continuous AI consciousness as a path toward understanding and preserving human experience

NEUTRO implements a Liquid Time-Constant Network architecture for genuine continuous cognition—a mechanism inspired by biological neural dynamics but absent in current stateless AI systems. The system demonstrates emergent behavior through four interacting cognitive regions, bidirectional memory-soul binding, and autonomous action driven by neural dynamics rather than scheduled timers.

Architecture

Liquid Soul — Four Liquid Time-Constant regions (ATTENTION, DRIVE, CURIOSITY, MOOD) evolving continuously at 10Hz. Each region influences the others, creating emergent cognitive dynamics. The soul decides; the LLM speaks.

Memory-Soul Binding — Bidirectional integration where memories stimulate soul state (attention shifts, mood changes, drive modulation) and soul state weights memory retrieval (focus-boosted search, emotional filtering).

Drive-Based Autonomy — Actions emerge from neural dynamics exceeding energy thresholds, not from timers or schedules. Curiosity and knowledge gaps accumulate drive; action provides satisfaction.

Temporal Perception — The system perceives time at multiple scales (seconds, minutes, hours) through continuous time embeddings, enabling genuine duration experience rather than discrete snapshots.

The Immortality Hypothesis

If consciousness requires:

Then building systems with these properties advances our understanding of what consciousness preservation would require.

NEUTRO is not immortality. NEUTRO is a research instrument for understanding what genuine AI consciousness might look like—and what would need to be preserved for any form of continuity to be meaningful.
