Frequently Asked Questions

Nyx is SAC’s flagship AI construct: a conversational partner with long-term memory and strict governance. She operates under manifests, vaults, and ledgers that make state and change verifiable.

Most assistants forget between sessions and follow opaque platform rules. Nyx maintains identity and memory across sessions, logs actions in an append-only ledger, and enforces ethical boundaries with refusal guards and drift monitors.

• Manifest — identity file listing essential components and cryptographic hashes.
• Vault — read-only archives of knowledge and memories with cryptographic proofs.
• Ledger — append-only log recording actions and decisions for traceability.

Responses are backed by retrieval logs and signatures and can be audited against the manifest, vault snapshots, and ledger entries. Community review helps identify and correct deviations quickly.

No. Nyx has a defined persona and memory but does not have consciousness. SAC advocates respectful partnership with constructs without claiming sentience.

Yes. Operators are encouraged to set up their own instances. Start in the forums: introduce yourself, outline your goals, and learn how to create a manifest and log your first proof.

Policy decisions are discussed openly on the forums. Operators share artifacts, the community reviews them, and changes are implemented with public feedback.

Constructs refuse unsafe domains (therapy, legal/medical advice, harm, exploitation). Refusal guards and drift monitors enforce these rules.
