Nori Cam

Nori Cam is a small, quiet window into another world: a miniature room where Nori, a short-legged AI cat, lives on her own clock. You don't control her. You watch her, and sometimes you send her a gift. A gift is a photo of a real object from your world. - Muse Spark 1.3 looks at the photo and writes a strict object contract: what it is, its size class, its materials, and which interactions are physically possible. - Muse Image 1.0 redraws the object in the room's own style, so it belongs to Nori's world instead of being pasted in. - The world engine, not the model, decides where the object can go (cells, collisions, heights). Then the gift falls from the sky into the room. Then Nori decides. She may look, sniff, sit on it, carry it or hide in it, but only through actions her body and the object legally allow. She may also ignore it. Nothing forces an interaction, and nothing raises her preferences to make a demo work. When an interaction finishes, the engine settles it into her state as an experience: familiarity, plus small preference and wariness changes. Muse Wonder 1.0 then reflects on one settled experience. Its reflection must cite the exact event from the world log. Its "tomorrow" intent must use real object ids and allowed actions; a validator rejects anything invented. An accepted intent is scheduled into her timeline and plays as ordinary behaviour. Memory here is continuity, not intelligence growth. What is live, and where: - Public site (https://nori-aipet.theroyatlas.workers.dev/): the R40 room with Nori's real server timeline. Catalog gifts are free, one per visitor per day, and fall from the sky. - Photo gifts call paid models, so they are off on the public site to protect a shared cost cap. The full photo loop runs in owner Live mode with your own key; see the README. - On 2026-11-05 we ran it live: 8 photo gifts, 7 became objects in the room, and all 6 Wonder reflections after our contract fix were accepted; Nori later acted on 5 of the 6 intents. Model spend: about US$0.46. - The demo video labels every clip LIVE or REPLAY, and every explanation card CARD. Honest limits: - The "tomorrow" intent runs at the next planning step, not after a real day. - We have no paired live baseline, so we do not claim that memory changed her behaviour. - In our runs the gift landed next to Nori and she reacted from her spot; she does not yet walk across the room to a gift. - Accelerated simulations use saved or mock model outputs only. Built during the hackathon (Oct 27 - Nov 5): the world engine (Cloudflare Worker + D1), the gift pipeline, the Wonder contract with evidence capture, the renderers, the R40 room (modelled in code, procedural textures) and the Live / Replay / Mock tooling.
