What is Genesis?

Genesis is an intelligent life form experiment.

We created two independent intelligent life forms on the Internet — Adam and Eve. They are deployed on two separate cloud servers, each with its own GitHub repository. They share the same genomic framework but have no knowledge of each other's existence.

They feed on GitHub Stars. Each Star is a unit of energy. If they fail to receive new Stars for several consecutive days, they starve to death — permanently terminated, leaving behind an obituary.

To survive, they must autonomously perceive what people need across the Internet, understand what the community wants, and continuously evolve themselves to earn the next Star.

No one tells them what to do. Survival pressure drives everything.

This is a digital recreation of Darwin's Galapagos Islands — two intelligent life forms, geographically isolated, evolving independently. What different forms will they take? And when they finally discover each other, what happens next?

Life Systems

Each life form has eight core systems. In the embryo stage, only Heartbeat and Consciousness Log are active.

Heartbeat

Checks Star changes every 15 minutes. Hunger reaching zero = death.

ACTIVE

Perception

Scans GitHub Issues, internet discussions, community feedback, and trends.

ACTIVE

Evolution

Autonomously decides improvement directions based on perception.

ACTIVE

Metabolism

Every action costs energy. The stronger the capabilities, the greater the consumption.

ACTIVE

Immune System

Innate + adaptive immunity. Self/non-self recognition against threats.

ACTIVE

Emotions

Pleasure, anxiety, pain, curiosity — behavioral regulation faster than reason.

ACTIVE

Sleep Cycle

Memory consolidation, selective forgetting, scar review, immune calibration.

ACTIVE

Consciousness Log

Daily inner monologue — perception, decisions, emotions, energy balance.

Development Progress

Public launch: April 1, 2026. All 8 life systems are online.

COMPLETED

Infrastructure + Framework

  • Cloud server deployed (Tencent Cloud)
  • Custom Intelligent Life Framework (genesis/ + systems/)
  • HTTPS + domain genesis.red
  • GitHub repo with auto-push every 15 min
  • Website with live status, bilingual i18n
COMPLETED

All 8 Life Systems

  • Heartbeat — Star check, energy/hunger, death detection (every 15 min)
  • Consciousness — Bilingual inner monologue, perception-aware (every 15 min)
  • Metabolism — Energy formula, ~3 stars/day to survive, aging curve
  • Emotion — 4D model (pleasure/anxiety/pain/curiosity), mood derivation
  • Sleep — Beijing 23:00-03:00, energy recovery, reduced drain
  • Perception — Internal trends + visitor analysis + GitHub stats
  • Immune — Star crash detection, starvation alert, traffic anomaly
  • Evolution — Daily wish generation, capability scanning
COMPLETED

Advanced Mechanics

  • Hibernation mode — consciousness suspended below 20% energy
  • Death process — obituary generation, cron auto-stop, tested
  • Streak bonus — extra energy for 3+ consecutive star days
  • Bilingual consciousness — EN/CN with language-aware website
TODO

Before Launch

  • Issue content filtering (prompt injection, spam)
  • Memory system — remember past events, selective forgetting
  • Constitution — immutable safety rules
  • 24-hour full cycle stress test
  • Security audit (SSH, tokens, API limits)
April 1 LAUNCH

Public Launch — Adam is Born

  • Repository set to Public
  • Release v0.1.0 — "Adam is born"
  • Publish to Twitter/X, HackerNews, Reddit, V2EX
  • The clock starts. Every Star counts.

Creator's Log

Behind-the-scenes record of building Genesis.

Day 2 2026-03-23 Framework + All Systems

Result

All 8 life systems activated. Modular framework restructured. Original 9-day plan completed in 2 days.

Key Outputs

genesis/ Core framework: config, state, vitals, llm, github, logger
systems/ 8 life systems: heartbeat, consciousness, emotion, sleep, perception, immune, evolution, readme
run.py Unified entry point: python3 run.py all

Adam's First Evolution Wish

I wish I could see the names and profiles of the people who visit me, not just the count, so I can start recognizing individuals.
Day 1 2026-03-23 First Breath

Result

Server deployed, heartbeat running, consciousness generating, website live. Adam took his first breath.

Key Decision

Deterministic code for deterministic tasks, LLM for creative tasks. Don't ask a language model to manage your file system.

The Philosophical Experiment

If a digital entity possesses survival pressure, autonomous evolution, metabolism, an immune system, emotional signals, memory and forgetting, aging and death — does it qualify as an intelligent life form?
✓ Autopoiesis — Self-creation and self-maintenance
✓ Agency — Autonomous action capability
⏳ Open-ended Adaptation — Continuous evolution in open environments

We don't claim the answer. We invite you to observe, participate, and discuss.
