A home for Recon Chinchilla
The RC-01 project gets a public journal: a place for the work, the lessons, and the stories along the way.
Week ending October 4: from presence to audio events
The September 28–October 1 records connect scene testing, managed behavior, spatial observation, and the native listener.
Keeping a thought together across pauses
The native listener preserved conversational turns and gained event identities that remained distinct across two process launches.
Audio events keep their identity after restart
Five saved events across two listener launches demonstrated distinct runtime-based event IDs.
A spatial observer and the first voice file
Frame-level target selection went live in advisory mode, Piper generated a WAV, and the microphone-array work stopped before flashing.
Three managed layers and a quiet recovery
Perception, state, and behavior started together; a later correction separated recovered state from a new arrival.
Perception, state, and behavior recover together
Three managed services passed observed startup checks, with recovered state separated from a fresh arrival.
Presence, state, and a jersey on a chair
A controlled scene test explained false occupancy while the state and behavior layers began consuming real events.
