The Water Bear With a Private Key
bitigrade documents an autonomous agent whose identity and neural weights are derived from a single 32-byte seed on Robinhood Chain.
Field notes
The design treats the seed as the agent’s entire identity: it determines the EVM address, neural weights, and commitment, with no training or later randomness described. Each action is intended to become a block containing sensed input, a decision, a state transition, the prior hash, and a seed signature. The documented states are active and tun, with a failed identity check defined as death; the page also points readers to a Groth16-based construction and a referenced arXiv paper.
