Eionic update: Runnable map + conversation/inner logs (core still no LLM)

Hey r/alife,

Been a few months. Just a quick update, folks.

I had to move to a new GitHub account (eioniclabs) because of a hardware failure, I couldn’t recover the email of my old repo. The project itself didn’t restart from zero. Same engine, just continuing from where it left off.

What’s new and finally shareable:

There’s a simple HTML map replay tool now. You can load the logs and watch the agents move around yourself.

I’m also releasing conversation logs and inner monologue/self-talk logs from the avatars. These weren’t public before.

Important clarification:

The core engine is still completely free of LLMs and behavior trees. Agents choose actions from their internal state (hormones, fatigue, trauma, memory, blueprint).

The conversation and inner log layers use an LLM only as a narrator, it translates the existing internal numbers into readable first-person text. It doesn’t decide what the agents do.

For those who followed earlier posts: the long 11,557-tick run with 3 avatars is still the main stability reference. Later tests with more avatars also held without collapsing.

New repo:

https://github.com/eioniclabs/eionic-garden

Would be interesting to hear what people notice in the conversation/inner logs, or if anyone tries the map replay. Critical feedback is welcome.
