# V9 — Dependencies (Metis: A Curious Ape's Guide to Reality) Status: dependency graph for V9. Date: 2026-06-13. Companion: `V9_ARCHITECTURE.md` (how these compose), `V9_GAP_ANALYSIS.md` (what is real vs. missing in each). V9 reuses far more than it creates — the defining property of a _productization_ version. This document lists what V9 **reuses** (existing Oshun surface), what it **creates** (net-new connective tissue), and what is **new external** (new third-party dependencies). Internal items cite the in-repo surface; see `V9_GAP_ANALYSIS.md` for the file-level reality of each. --- ## 1. Reuse — existing Oshun domains (the ~80%) ### 1.1 Education spine | Domain | Surface | V9 use | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Metis** | `services/metis/` (FastAPI/SQLAlchemy/Celery; 16 routers), `libs/metis/*` | Course/lesson model, source-grounded generation, **live-voice tutoring**, assessment + IRT calibration, concept graph, credentials, LMS interop, curriculum safety policy, the core-six taxonomy | | **Mnemosyne** | `libs/mnemosyne/{core,polyglot,classical-tools,...}` | Spaced repetition (FSRS/SM-2), knowledge tracing (BKT/DKT), IRT/CAT, mastery, prerequisite reasoning, gamification primitives | ### 1.2 Knowledge & science kernels | Domain | Surface | V9 use | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Nyx** | `libs/nyx/{ephemeris,renderer-*,catalog-*,constellations,events,observation-planner}`, `apps/nyx/*` | The live cosmos: WebGL planetarium, real ephemeris (VSOP87/ELP), star/deep-sky catalogs, "time-travel," exoplanets — the astronomy explorables | | **Kalika** | `libs/kalika/{cas-engine(Rust+WASM),notebooks,quantum-mechanics,general-relativity,...}`, `apps/kalika/*` | Computed math & physics explorables: symbolic algebra, reactive notebooks, physics kernels | | **Sophia** | `libs/sophia/{indexing,vectordb,knowledge-graph,citation-analysis,evaluation}` | Grounding: hybrid retrieval, vetted-source pins, knowledge graph, citation credibility — the Aletheia G1 backbone | | **Nous** | `libs/nous/{core,llm,vision,training,safety}` | Model plane: local/sovereign inference, embeddings, vision (e.g., identify a photographed constellation), cost/privacy | | **Nisaba** | `libs/nisaba/{languages,criticism,canon,corpora,annotations,paleography}` | Grounded historical personas + history-of-ideas / ancient-text lessons (25+ languages, canonical references) | | **Demeter / Airmid** | `libs/demeter/*`, `libs/airmid/*` | Living-world axis: botany, ecology, plant science, botanical medicine | | **Saraswati / Seshat** | `libs/saraswati/*`, `libs/seshat/*` | Made-world axis: real industrial telemetry (batteries/solar/EVs), craft/materials/fabrication | ### 1.3 Generative content factory | Domain | Surface | V9 use | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Isis** | `libs/isis/{workflows,comfyui-nodes,ai-providers,3d-generation,ai-video}` | Lesson visuals, diagrams, the Chiron face, illustrative B-roll (provenance-stamped) | | **Yemaya** | `libs/yemaya/{agents,autonomous-pipelines,orchestration,quality-assurance,hitl,budget-management}` | Prometheus orchestration: HTN-planned pipelines, 76 quality validators, mid-pipeline HITL, cost caps | | **Hathor** | `libs/hathor/{llm-npc,narrative,domain-models}` | Chiron persona/personality + Socratic dialogue generation; myth/story for the soulful braid | | **Psyche** | `DOMAINS/psyche` (avatar/voice/Conductor, Living Scenes) | The embodied Chiron: real-time avatar, voice, lip-sync, turn-taking, emotion recognition | | **Euterpe** | `DOMAINS/euterpe` (DAW/music) | Adaptive lesson scores and audio | | **Iris** | `libs/iris/{agents-core,conversation-*,memory,mcp,model-orchestration}` | THE shared agent runtime + model orchestration; V9 spawns no new agent loop | ### 1.4 Platform, safety, governance, experience | Domain / version | Surface | V9 use | | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **V1 platform** | identity, billing, BFF, Agentic AI Studio, Isis control plane | Account, subscription, the governance plane (AgentRun envelopes, budgets, kill switches, generation ledger), the seven-gate enforcement point | | **V3** | C2PA-on-every-export, voice-clone consent registry | Provenance + consent for personas | | **V7 (Mawu)** | Sekhmet safety, creator distribution | Age-gating/safety floor + the Agora creator commons | | **meditation** | `libs/meditation/*` (8 engine libs) | The contemplative braid (neuroscience-of-attention ↔ a meditation session); offline-engine pattern | | **V2–V8 games** | UE5.5 substrates | Learn-by-playing explorables (P2/P3) | | **`apps/metis/{web,mobile,admin,api-gateway,worker}`** | existing scaffold | The base for the consumer experience layer (currently instructor/admin-shaped → rebuilt consumer-first) | --- ## 2. Create — net-new V9 connective tissue (the ~20%) | New component | What it is | Subsystem | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | | **Atlas knowledge graph + wonder-resolver** | Unify Metis/Sophia/Mnemosyne graphs + domain data into one navigable "map of reality"; resolve free-text wonders → concept nodes → learner-scoped prerequisite frontier; render the personal star-map | Atlas | | **Lesson HTN templates + "realize-the-skeleton" constraint layer** | The Prometheus pipeline definitions and the layer that holds LLM output to the verified ground truth | Prometheus | | **Grounding + accuracy gate (kernel-recompute)** | The Aletheia verifier that binds every claim to a source and recomputes every STEM value | Aletheia | | **Teacher-persona system + integrity-mode dialogue + cross-session memory glue** | Bind Psyche + Hathor + Metis live-voice + Mnemosyne memory into a coherent, remembering Chiron | Chiron | | **Hephaestus explorable runtime** | Kernel→browser bindings (Nyx/Kalika), the generative-widget verifier, game-bridge adapters | Hephaestus | | **Theia wonder-director** | Answer/scaffold/thread decisions, thread continuation, the emotional arc, the science↔human braid | Theia | | **Consumer experience layer** | The consumer-first web/mobile app: ask-a-wonder front door, lesson player, explorable canvas, personal Atlas map | L6 / Experience | | **Seven-gate suite (learning-specialized)** | The G1–G7 eval suites as gate suites in the platform content-release gate | Governance | --- ## 3. New external dependencies V9 deliberately minimizes net-new external dependencies — almost everything is already vendored by the domains it composes. | External | Why | Notes / risk | | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Manim (ManimCE)** + an LLM-to-Manim pipeline | Precise, accurate math/physics explainer animation (the only path to correct on-screen equations — `V9_SOTA_RESEARCH.md` §2) | Render-reliability is the known open problem; requires the validation/self-repair loop (G5). Driven from _verified_ Kalika derivations, not free text | | **Embodied-avatar capability** | Chiron's face/voice | Primary path is Oshun's own **Psyche**; a SaaS avatar (Synthesia/HeyGen/D-ID class) is a possible fallback, not a dependency. **Do NOT depend on OpenAI Sora** (app shut down Apr 2026) | | **Cinematic video model (illustrative B-roll only)** | Optional decorative scenes | Vendor-diversify (Veo/Runway class); never the teacher or the source of facts. Treat as swappable | No new datastore, no new model provider beyond what Iris/Nous already broker, no new identity/billing/safety system. --- ## 4.

The only one-way external-liveness dependency at P2/P3 is the game-bridge, which (like V6's Aye Bridge and V8's Daedalus relay) requires the target realms + the Bellona cook path to be live.
