Request Lobe
Normalization, interpretation, and routing of external requests
The Request Lobe is the entry point for all external cognitive triggers that do not originate from perception.
Where the Perception Lobe handles sensory input (UI events, DOM changes, system signals), the Request Lobe handles intent‑bearing requests from:
- users
- external systems
- APIs
- internal agents
- higher‑level tasks
It is the artificial analogue of the prefrontal cortex’s goal‑setting and task‑initiation pathways.
The Request Lobe answers the question:
“What is being requested, and how should it enter the cognitive loop?”
It provides:
- request normalization
- intent extraction
- routing to appropriate lobes
- context enrichment
- safety pre‑checks
Converts raw requests into structured internal representations:
- user intent
- task requests
- SL2 commands
- agent‑to‑agent messages
Identifies:
- goals
- constraints
- context
- urgency
- required lobes
Dispatches requests to:
- Planning Lobe
- Memory Lobe
- Nav Lobe
- Action Lobe
- Sandbox Lobe
Ensures requests do not violate:
- constraints
- resource limits
- system invariants
Adds:
- world‑model references
- memory cues
- UI context
- historical patterns
- user requests
- API calls
- agent messages
- SL2 commands
- system triggers
- structured intents
- enriched requests
- routing decisions
- pre‑validated tasks
- Planning Lobe — receives structured goals
- Memory Lobe — provides context
- Nav Lobe — handles navigation requests
- Action Lobe — receives direct action requests
- ThoughtStream — logs request interpretation
The Request Lobe ensures that Syntra Kernel:
- understands external requests
- routes them correctly
- maintains cognitive coherence
- preserves safety
It is the gateway between the outside world and the cognitive architecture.
