Introducing HOPE — An Emotional Architecture for Empathic & Safe AI Systems

Research Awesome paper

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

I’d like to share a new open-access preprint that introduces HOPE, an experimental emotional architecture for AI systems — designed not as sentiment analysis, but as a structural layer for containment, empathy, and human compatibility.

:page_facing_up: Paper: HOPE — Emotional Architecture for Containment and Empathic Interaction in Artificial Intelligence

What’s inside

  • Modular architecture built on symbolic cognition, emotional states, and containment logic.
  • Integration principles for empathic resonance and safety.
  • Philosophical and design implications for next-generation affective AI.

Why I’m posting here
I’m looking to connect with researchers, developers, labs, or companies interested in:

  • Emotional and cognitive architectures for AI safety.
  • Simulation of empathy or containment in LLM-based systems.
  • Exploring funding or partnership opportunities to evolve the FractalMind Project into a research or prototype stage.

I’m open to collaboration under open-access or joint R&D models.
Even early conceptual feedback is welcome.

:speech_balloon: Topics I’d love to discuss:

  • How emotional layers could complement current alignment techniques.
  • What implementation path (LLMs, symbolic layers, hybrid systems) could make this real?
  • Potential research or incubation frameworks.

Thanks for reading :folded_hands:

Oh man we should team up. Im doing research with my rust based ai framework for emotional inference with topology. You have discord? How can i reach out?
