We're exploring related ideas in embodied AI rather than LLM agents. MH-FLOCKE uses Izhikevich spiking neurons with R-STDP to control quadruped locomotion — the memory is in the synaptic weights, not in a vector store.

The brain persists across sessions: stop the robot, restart it, synaptic weights reload and it continues from where it left off. Decay happens naturally through R-STDP — synapses that don't contribute to reward weaken over time. No explicit forgetting mechanism needed.

Currently running on a Unitree Go2 (MuJoCo) and a 100€ Freenove robot dog (Raspberry Pi 4, real hardware). Same architecture, different bodies.
