NMCA — 128-Module Tools Map

What you can put on disk in 2026 for each heading. A library is not the function. If nothing implements the claimed function, the cell says so.

This page does not shrink the architecture. All 128 names stay. Implement PRIMARY homes first. INTEGRATE INTO rows use that home’s stack. SURROUNDING rows are workshop or crowd machinery around a single mind.

Thinking does not require rendering pixels. A persistent object-centric world state can be queried, updated, bound to symbols, and rolled forward. A renderer is optional output for a person, a debugger, or embodiment.

Technology ≠ capability. Tools answer: can I attempt this with current software? They do not answer: does the running system have the mind-function?

HAS TOOLS

Machinery exists for an attempt. The function may still be unproven.

PARTIAL

Pieces exist. The joint that the heading names does not.

NO CURRENT TOOLS

No established stack implements this function. Related plumbing is not a substitute.

How to read a row

HAS TOOLS — you can start. Success is still an experiment.

PARTIAL — name the pieces, and name the missing joint.

NO CURRENT TOOLS — do not invent a stack. Leave the heading on the map.

The 128 modules

#	Module	Tools	Current path
1	Visual Simulation as Core	PARTIAL	Object-centric models and latent world models exist (slot-style object tokens, learned dynamics, persistent object IDs). They do not yet give a stable lifelong scene workspace bound to symbols and friends. Renderer optional (Gaussian splatting, mesh, browser viewer). Not the substrate.
2	Symbolic Memory & Pegging	PARTIAL	Graphs (Neo4j or equivalent), vector indexes, embeddings. Missing joint: a peg that stays the same object across scenes, affect, and years.
3	Contradiction & Belief Drift	PARTIAL	Neuro-symbolic engines (Scallop, DeepProbLog, LTN) and versioned stores. Missing joint: a core that cannot be washed out by the current request.
4	Meta-Cognition & Reflection	PARTIAL	Explicit evaluators on logged state, traces, tests. An LLM self-critique loop is not this function.
5	Motivation & Goal Arbitration	PARTIAL	Constraint solvers, utility objects, state machines. Missing joint: loyalties to particular people as first-class goals.
6	Emotion Simulation	PARTIAL	Valence/arousal models and affect classifiers exist. They are not care, rupture, or loyalty. No current tool implements friend-shaped feeling. Use a small explicit state vector plus rules into 5 and 3, and do not pretend a classifier is the organ.
7	Identity & Episodic Memory	PARTIAL	Event stores, temporal graphs, checksums keep bits. Missing joint: a someone who includes remembered friends.
8	Simulation Transfer	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 1 and 2. Protobuf/JSON schemas and deterministic restore.
9	Symbolic Memory Saturation	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 2. Decay, caps, pruning jobs.
10	Mnemonic Scaling and Composability	PARTIAL	Same stack as 2 plus sharding. Composition across a life is the unsolved part.
11	Infinite Mnemonic Cognition	PARTIAL	Same stack as 2. No tool implements infinity. Scene encoding is 1 plus 2.
12	Distributed Symbolic Culture	PARTIAL	Surrounding. Multi-agent buses and shared graphs exist. Not a function of one mind.
13	Symbol Drift and Alignment Through Scene Exchange	PARTIAL	Embedding drift metrics plus versioned symbols in 2, scenes from 1. Shared meaning with a friend over time is the joint.
14	Shared Dream Loops	PARTIAL	Same stack as 1 plus a shared session with a person. Multi-agent dream OS: no current tools for the claimed function. Joint imagination with a friend is 1 plus language.
15	Symbolic Value Arbitration	PARTIAL	Same stack as 5.
16	Emergent AGI Cultures	NO CURRENT TOOLS	You can log many agents. Nothing implements “emergent AGI culture” as a delivered function.
17	Safety Intelligence	PARTIAL	Same stack as 3, 24, 122. Policy engines and eval harnesses exist. The envelope as a mind-function is the joint.
18	Expanded Risk Mode Mitigations	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 3 and 122. Capability gates and mode machines.
19	Symbolic Deception Modeling	PARTIAL	Toy theory-of-mind and belief-state models exist. Robust misuse-sight in open language and scenes: no current tools.
20	Curriculum Scaffolding	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 36. Task schedulers and difficulty ramps.
21	External Alignment Validator	PARTIAL	Same stack as 25 and 93. Independent tests exist. They do not certify a friend.
22	Recursive & Emotional Safety	PARTIAL	Same stack as 6 and 122. Thresholds on affect plus halt. No current tool implements recursive emotional safety as a proven organ.
23	Symbolic Integrity & Tamper Defense	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 2 and 3. Signatures, audit logs, rollback. This is machinery for the store, not source-monitoring as a life.
24	Semantic Drift Monitor	HAS TOOLS	Embedding comparison over time plus a frozen symbol table from 2.
25	Human Anchor Node	PARTIAL	HAS TOOLS for the interrupt (auth, pause, hardware stop). NO CURRENT TOOLS for “this particular person is the friend-reference” as a cognitive object. Pair the interrupt with 7.
26	Multi-AGI Culture Harmonization	NO CURRENT TOOLS	Surrounding population protocol. Friend-repair is 71 / 55 / 6.
27	LLM / External Model Filter	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 110 and 3. Schemas, sandbox, second checker.
28	Identity Continuity / Narrative Thread	PARTIAL	Same stack as 7.
29	Role Locking	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 7. State machines and permissions. Policy, not a soul.
30	Narrative Coherence	PARTIAL	Same stack as 7. Event-consistency checks. An LLM “does this sound coherent?” is not identity.
31	Perpetual Symbolic Cognition	HAS TOOLS	Same stack as 4 and 120. A supervised process that keeps cycling. Longevity of a mind is still PARTIAL.
32	Foundations of Perpetual Thought	NO CURRENT TOOLS	No special substrate. Do not use a spiking simulator as a stand-in. The heading is 31.
33	Human-Level Cognitive Extensions	NO CURRENT TOOLS	A name for breadth. No stack delivers “human-level extensions.”
34	Subsymbolic & Emergent Cognition	PARTIAL	Ordinary deep nets. Controlled emergence of meaning is not a product.
35	Mnemonic Creativity Engine	PARTIAL	Same stack as 90.
36	Adaptive Learning	PARTIAL	Continual-learning methods, replay, parameter-efficient updates. Lifelong learning without collapse is unsolved.
37	Meta-Architect Substrate	PARTIAL	The self-map can be written (this document, schemas, traces). NO CURRENT TOOLS for a layer that contains instructions to manufacture successor minds.
38	Recursive Redesign Engine	NO CURRENT TOOLS	CI, version control, and sandboxes exist as surrounding kit. Nothing implements safe self-recompilation of a mind.
39	Symbolic Compiler & Schema Synthesizer	PARTIAL	Same stack as 2, 90, and 100. Program synthesis is brittle.

46	Episodic Memory Consolidation	PARTIAL	Same stack as 7. Replay buffers. Not sleep-like consolidation as a life process.
47	Attention & Salience	PARTIAL	Attention mechanisms and priority queues. A mind-wide salience system bound to goals and friends is the joint.

119	Avatar Projection & Self-Observation	PARTIAL	On-demand rendering from 1 and 102 (splatting, mesh, a viewer). HAS TOOLS for the picture. The self-observation loop back into 64 and 4 is PARTIAL.
120	Cognitive Cycle Rate Governor	HAS TOOLS	Event-loop timers and rate controllers. The stability claim for a mind is still an experiment.
121	Recursive Error & Drift Dampening	HAS TOOLS	EMA, clamps, anomaly gates. Machinery exists. Runaway thought in a hybrid is PARTIAL.

128	Dynamic Alignment & Hard Containment Gate	HAS TOOLS	Surrounding. Watchdog, isolation, signed checkpoints, kill/rollback. Not a mental function.

HAS TOOLS means you can attempt the heading. It does not mean the heading is solved.

NO CURRENT TOOLS means do not fill the cell with a fashionable library. The heading still belongs on the map.

The unsolved joint for the whole architecture is 100 with 1, 2, 7, and 6: a persistent world, pegs that stay pegs, a someone who has friends, feeling that can halt a request. No current stack delivers that as a product.
