Engineering Tension, Not Intelligence
Resonetics is not an AGI.
It is a dynamical control system designed to prevent saturation by balancing:
- Structure — prevents collapse into chaos (form, constraint)
- Flow — prevents freezing and stagnation (continuous change)
- Tension — rewards productive contradiction between reality and ideal
Creativity is not optimization.
It is the sustained management of contradiction.
Resonetics does not resolve tension.
It decides which tensions deserve to live.
Most AI systems optimize for:
- accuracy
- convergence
- stability
Resonetics asks a different question:
What should not be resolved?
Premature resolution can destroy:
- adaptability
- creativity
- long-term stability
Contradiction is treated as a signal, not a failure.
Resonetics focuses on a measurable loop:
- Detect paradox / contradiction
- Measure structural tension
- Decide: preserve, ignore, or collapse
This is rule-based, auditable, and reproducible — not opinion-driven.
This repository contains multiple evolutionary versions of the same idea.
Each version represents a discarded assumption and a cleaner abstraction.
- Prophet — enterprise runtime / system self-protection
- Auditor — structural analyzer (code as living structure)
- Via Negativa — the creative core: subtractive cognition
- K8s RL Env (optional) — benchmarking under entropy + budget pressure

Each paradox is evaluated across measurable dimensions (e.g. tension, coherence, pressure response), then mapped to a deterministic verdict:
| Type | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
creative_tension |
stable contradiction generating insight | PRESERVE_AND_FEED |
bubble |
inflated claim without structural support | IGNORE |
collapse |
internally inconsistent or defensive paradox | FORCE_COLLAPSE |
- ❌ Not AGI
- ❌ Not a consciousness simulation
- ❌ Not a chatbot
- ❌ Not claiming emergent intelligence
Resonetics does not claim intelligence.
It studies tension management.

If a computational system ever appears creative,
it is not because it knows more —
but because it knows what not to resolve.
