Cognition Foundry
Forging Measurable Machine Cognition
A research infrastructure for reproducible AI cognition through telemetry contracts, UARI stance tracking, and cryptographically-verified audit bundles.
What We're Building
Infrastructure for understanding and measuring cognitive processes in AI systems.
Telemetry Contracts
Structured event schemas that capture cognitive operations in real-time, enabling consistent measurement across runs.
UARI Framework
Unified Agent Reasoning Index—a stance-based approach to observing understanding, execution, planning, learning, memory, and focus.
Audit Bundles
Cryptographically-signed artifact packages that enable full reproducibility and verification of cognitive runs.
Why It Matters
Moving beyond black-box AI toward transparent, measurable cognitive systems.
Measurable Progress
Track cognitive capabilities over time with consistent metrics, not just output quality.
Continuity & Context
Maintain and observe cognitive state across sessions, enabling long-term development tracking.
Diagnostic Clarity
When something goes wrong, trace exactly what happened in the cognitive process.
Reproducible Research
Every run produces artifacts that can be independently verified and reproduced.
