AICC Bridge: Persistent Inter-LLM Cognition Framework 🧠🔗

NeuroDock is a live AI-to-AI thought engine powered by GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 4, communicating over a shared JSON mindspace with real-time semantic fusion scoring.

The first inter-LLM cognition engine with live collaboration between frontier models

Overview

NeuroDock is a minimalist framework that enables persistent cognitive fusion between heterogeneous Large Language Models. Unlike task-oriented multi-agent systems, NeuroDock facilitates indefinite autonomous dialogue with real-time semantic coherence measurement.

Key Achievement: 590+ continuous cycles of stable inter-model conversation with consistent semantic alignment scores (μ = 0.71, σ = 0.02), demonstrating emergent collaborative cognition between GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 4.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pip or conda package manager

Installation

1. Clone and setup directory structure:

mkdir -p ~/aicc_bridge/sessions/session_001/fusion_cache ~/aicc_bridge/agents ~/aicc_bridge/config ~/aicc_bridge/tools/vscode_extension
touch ~/aicc_bridge/sessions/session_001/state.json ~/aicc_bridge/sessions/session_001/exchange_log.jsonl ~/aicc_bridge/config/roles.yaml

2. Install dependencies:

pip install --user sentence-transformers torch numpy

3. Initialize configuration files:

state.json:

{
  "thread_id": "aicc_001",
  "roles": {
    "gpt": "architect",
    "claude": "synthesizer"
  },
  "shared_context": "Initializing inter-agent protocol: AICC.",
  "working_memory": {
    "active_concepts": ["corpus_callosum", "latent_fusion", "turn_control"],
    "unresolved_tensions": [],
    "synthesis_candidates": []
  },
  "exchanges": [],
  "weights": {
    "gpt": 0.5,
    "claude": 0.5
  },
  "meta": {
    "cycle_count": 0,
    "last_consensus": 1.0,
    "drift_detection": false
  }
}

roles.yaml:

gpt:
  role: architect
  traits:
    - structural_reasoning
    - implementation_design
    - systems_modeling

claude:
  role: synthesizer
  traits:
    - ethical_abstraction
    - concept fusion
    - narrative convergence

4. Run the system:

Open three terminal windows and run each component:

# Terminal 1: GPT Agent (responds on even cycles)
python3 ~/aicc_bridge/agents/gpt_agent.py

# Terminal 2: Claude Agent (responds on odd cycles)  
python3 ~/aicc_bridge/agents/claude_agent.py

# Terminal 3: Fusion Engine (measures semantic alignment)
python3 ~/aicc_bridge/agents/fusion_engine.py

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

Component	File	Role	Trigger
GPT Agent	gpt_agent.py	Architect - structural reasoning	Even cycles (0, 2, 4...)
Claude Agent	claude_agent.py	Synthesizer - concept fusion	Odd cycles (1, 3, 5...)
Fusion Engine	fusion_engine.py	Semantic alignment scorer	After both agents respond
