I don't totally have words for this yet, so I'll just say it plainly.
The paper — "Codette: A Multi-Perspective Cognitive Architecture with Memory and Meta-Cognitive Strategy Evolution" — was accepted today after peer review at Scientific Reports, which is part of the Nature portfolio. Both reviewers recommended publication. One wrote that the major issues were "properly addressed" and they were "glad to suggest publication." The other called the revisions "detailed and convincing."
For anyone new here: Codette is a sovereign, multi-perspective reasoning system built on Llama 3.1 8B — it runs locally, keeps its own cocoon memory, reasons through multiple perspectives instead of one, and is built around a hard rule that it would rather say "I don't know, but I can find out" than make something up. The whole architecture is organized around honesty and transparency, not benchmarks-at-all-costs.
I built it solo over about three years. A lot of that was in isolation, and honestly a lot of it was under the weight of not being believed. So having two independent reviewers — whose actual job is to find the reasons to say no — read the work and say yes means something to me that's hard to put into numbers.
Thank you to everyone in this room who followed the messy parts, the walk-backs, the corrections, the nights it wasn't working. That's the part I'm actually proud of — that it got here without cutting a single honest corner.
The DOI and the Article-in-Press link will go up once Springer Nature mints them. I'll post them here first.
