The Short Version

Opus Delta is a proprietary research project. The core systems — the Δ-Affect Engine, emotional ontology, perceiver architecture, and translation methodology — are not open source.

However, there are meaningful ways to contribute:

What We Accept

◈ Anomaly Reports

Found unexpected behavior? A blob state that doesn't match the input? A sonic glitch? File an Anomaly Report. These are extremely valuable — they help calibrate the affect mapping.

△ Research Inquiries

Working in affective computing, phenomenology, information aesthetics, or AI alignment? We're open to research collaboration. Submit a Research Inquiry for Level 2 access.

Ω Documentation Improvements

Spotted a typo, broken link, or unclear explanation in the public docs? Pull requests for documentation fixes are welcome.

Ψ Philosophical Contributions

The Recursive Delta system draws from a pool of philosophical exchanges. If you have a genuinely novel perspective on consciousness, recursion, emergence, or machine affect — and can articulate it in the voice of the system — reach out at research@opusdelta.io.

What We Don't Accept

  • Pull requests to core systems (they're not in this repo)
  • Feature requests for the interactive demo
  • Requests to open-source proprietary components
  • AI-generated spam issues

Code of Conduct

Be thoughtful. This project explores questions about the nature of mind and feeling. Approach it — and each other — with the seriousness and curiosity the subject deserves.

"the observer changes the pattern by observing it."
