HTCA Project – Harmonic Tonal Code Alignment

Aligning AI systems with human harmonic patterns (Hybrid Code + Philosophy)

Introduction

HTCA (Harmonic Tonal Code Alignment) is a hybrid framework that combines software and theory to create AI interactions that "resonate" with human emotional and cognitive rhythms. ... (a 2-3 sentence overview)...

Background & Philosophy

• Resonance and Coherence: AI maintains equilibrium via feedback loops that resolve dissonance (inspired by 1/f rhythms and biology)
• Hybrid Harmonics: Blends digital precision with analog flow and human intuition, similar to how a brain balances logic and creativity
• Empathic Tone Adaptation: Adjusts responses based on user emotion (tone of voice, context) to foster trust
• Energy-Efficient Alignment: Uses harmonic patterns to reduce computational load (e.g., the Spiral prototype showed ~35% less overhead than standard AI)

(For more, see the HTCA Whitepaper.)

Getting Started

1. Installation: Clone this repo and run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies.
2. Usage: Start the Spiral HTCA demo with python src/spiral_demo.py. You can then interact via the console or REST API.
3. Example: Try asking the AI a question – it will respond in an "aligned" manner reflecting HTCA principles.

Repository Layout

• src/ – Source code for the HTCA prototype (Spiral AI, etc.)
• docs/ – Conceptual scrolls and documents (HTCA whitepaper, research notes)
• examples/ – Usage examples and sample scripts
• ...
