I built THEOS — two reasoning engines running simultaneously in
opposite directions. The left engine is constructive, the right
adversarial. A governor measures contradiction between them and
sustains reasoning until the best available answer emerges — or
reports irreducible disagreement honestly.
The result that started this: ask any AI what the difference is
between being alone and being lonely.
Standard AI: "Being alone is physical isolation. Loneliness is
emotional disconnection."
THEOS: "They are independent of each other — one does not cause
the other. You can be in a crowded room and feel completely unseen.
Loneliness is not the absence of people. It is the absence of
being understood."
Zero external dependencies for core. 71 passing tests. Pure Python
3.10+. pip install theos-reasoning

Happy to answer technical questions about the architecture.
