Hi everyone,
My name is Damiano, and I’d like to share a concept I’ve been working on—one that aims to simulate life-like intelligence using simple, modular, and reactive systems.
The Idea:
- Primitive AI Behavior: An artificial mind not focused on language or logic, but on basic emotional and survival responses—comparable to a chicken: “fire = fear,” “warmth = comfort,” etc.
- Raspberry Pi Cluster as Cerebellum: Each node handles a different life function: perception (sensors), emotion (internal state), reaction (motors/LEDs), memory (basic DB). Not high-level reasoning—just pure life simulation.
- Digital DNA: Every AI instance has a local database acting as its “genome,” storing sensory experience, emotional responses, and behavioral adaptations.
- Evolution Through Transfer: This digital DNA can be copied to another machine (“cloned”), or merged between two systems to simulate the birth of a “descendant” AI that inherits traits and behaviors.
Why This?
Because I believe that before building intelligence, we need to build life. Simple, reactive, adaptive life. AI that doesn’t just answer—but exists, reacts, and evolves.
I’m not a developer with time or a team, but I wanted to share this concept with people who might help make it real—or be inspired by it.
Thank you for reading, Damiano
