Parallax
A modality-agnostic cognitive core that settles into a metastable regime in a strange-attractor landscape. Cognition decoupled from token-clocked autoregressive generation. Reasoning depth at O(1) memory.
Parallax is the line I have been chasing for three iterations. By v3 it is a Central Workspace (CWS): a continuous-state dynamical system whose only job is to settle into a metastable basin in an attractor landscape shaped by associative perturbations from a heterogeneous expert pool. The CWS is not a language model. Tokens are sensory observations, summarised by experts; the workspace integrates them through K reasoning steps that are decoupled from token steps; a thin motor decoder reads the settled state. Equilibrium is detected via momentum saturation, not by chasing a fixed point. In the limit, this is a candidate replacement for the residual stack itself - reasoning depth as a separate axis from parameter capacity, paid for at constant memory.
