Guile Goblins Hoot Skill

Trit: +1 (PLUS - generative distributed computation) Foundation: Goblins + Hoot WASM + ocaps

bmorphism Contributions

"all is bidirectional" — @bmorphism, Play/Coplay gist

Portable Cognitive Agents: Hoot compiles Goblins actors to WebAssembly, enabling the same cognitive agent to run anywhere — browser, server, embedded, blockchain. This portability embodies the "next trillion minds" vision.

Bidirectional Actor Communication: The Goblins <- operator implements bidirectional promise pipelining — the caller becomes a listener for the response. This aligns with bmorphism's Play/Coplay pattern where every action generates perception.

Active Inference Actors: Each Goblins actor implements Active Inference in String Diagrams at the micro level:

• bcom (become) → update internal model (belief)
• methods → available actions
• vat → Markov blanket (perceptual boundary)

Core Concept

Goblins provides:

• Capability-secure actors
• Distributed vat model
• Promise pipelining
• Hoot compiles Scheme to WASM

Goblins Basics

(use-modules (goblins) (goblins actor-lib))

;; Define a counter actor
(define (^counter bcom [count 0])
  (define (inc)
    (bcom (^counter bcom (+ count 1))))
  (define (get) count)
  
  (methods
   [inc inc]
   [get get]))

;; Spawn and use
(define counter (spawn ^counter))
(<- counter 'inc)
(<- counter 'get)  ; => 1

Hoot WASM

;; Compile to WebAssembly
(use-modules (hoot compile))

(compile-file "program.scm" #:output "program.wasm")

SDF Interleaving

This skill connects to Software Design for Flexibility (Hanson & Sussman, 2021):

Primary Chapter: 10. Adventure Game Example

Concepts: autonomous agent, game, synthesis

GF(3) Balanced Triad

guile-goblins-hoot (○) + SDF.Ch10 (+) + [balancer] (−) = 0

Skill Trit: 0 (ERGODIC - coordination)

Secondary Chapters

• Ch4: Pattern Matching
• Ch7: Propagators
• Ch2: Domain-Specific Languages

Connection Pattern

Adventure games synthesize techniques. This skill integrates multiple patterns.

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
