- The Universal Constraint Engine (UCE) generates emergent multi-state architectures from declarative constraint rules over conserved quantities.
- UCE derives computational behaviors like memory, logic, hysteresis, and oscillation directly from symbolic constraints, eliminating the need for training, weights, or gradient descent.
- The system consists of four layers: Rule Definition, Constraint Solver, Emergent Behavior Engine, and Embodiment Mapper for hardware implementation across various substrates.
- Minimal rule sets in UCE produce non-trivial emergent behaviors, such as SR latches, biological oscillators, and write-gated memory cells, with a patent pending.
