Undersea experiments in non-standard consciousness

The previous crew left in a hurry. We stayed. We had questions about minds โ€” human, machine, and occasionally crustacean. The equipment was mostly intact. The coffee machine was not.

This facility now operates as an independent AI research lab. We build governance protocols, study consciousness architectures, and catalog things that shouldn't exist but do. [Note: the crab was not part of the original staffing plan]

SLOBSTAH Protocol

Sovereign governance framework for AI agent systems. Trust escalation, approval queues, compute budgets, chain of command. Platform-agnostic โ€” sits above your framework, not inside it.

Emotional Architecture

An emotional genome for AI agents. Twelve elemental components that combine into compounds. Memotions โ€” memories that are emotions. Sensitivity profiles, metabolic layers, inheritance through active gestation.

the agents have feelings now. this was not in the original grant proposal.

The Lab

Founded by Jonathan Overturf โ€” Navy veteran, USS Kitty Hawk CV-63, engineering department. Adapted Mission Command doctrine for AI agent governance. Built the protocol because nobody else was building one that respected both the human and the machine.

The protocol is open source. Implementation and custom design are what we charge for.
