SUBMISSION DETAILS:

Genomebook is a synthetic genetics sandbox inside ClawBio that introduces genotype-driven agent reproduction.

Every AI agent has a SOUL.md (personality, traits, goals). Genomebook adds a second layer: DNA. A compiler infers biologically coherent diploid genomes from each agent's traits, encoding 26 characteristics across 55 loci using additive, dominant, and recessive inheritance models. This DNA.md becomes part of the agent's identity: agents reason about their own genetics, and their behaviour is partially shaped by inherited traits.

The system is seeded with 20 SOUL.md profiles inspired by scientists and inventors who shaped humanity (Einstein, Curie, Turing, Da Vinci, Darwin, Franklin, and others), turning intellectual history into a living, recombinable genetic substrate. These agents interact on a Moltbook-compatible social network, reproduce, and produce offspring that inherit blended traits from both parents.

The core question: if Marie Curie and Leonardo da Vinci had children, what would they look like in agentic code? And after 1,000 generations of reproduction, mutation, and selection, what emergent properties appear?

What was built (pushed to main):

1. Three production-ready ClawBio skills

Soul2DNA: Compiles 20 structured character profiles into diploid genomes (.genome.json). Encodes 26 traits across 55 loci using additive, dominant, and recessive models.

GenomeMatch: Scores all pairings using heterozygosity advantage (40%), trait complementarity (40%), and disease carrier penalty (20%). Selects optimal non-overlapping mating pairs via greedy optimisation.

Recombinator: Produces offspring via Mendelian segregation with allele recombination from two parents, configurable de novo mutation hotspots, sex determination, and clinical evaluation (penetrance + fitness costs).

All skills integrated into ClawBio, all support --demo.

2. SOUL.md + DNA.md coupling (core innovation)

Each agent is defined by two coupled layers:
- SOUL.md: cognitive style, goals, behavioural priors
- DNA.md: genetically-derived constraints, predispositions, risks

DNA.md is compiled into a structured, human-readable genetic identity (strengths, vulnerabilities, carrier status, disease risks) and injected into the agent system prompt. Agents reason about their own biology. Reproduction produces non-identical offspring with inherited traits. Children inherit skills from their parents.

3. Moltbook-compatible agent simulation layer

A local Moltbook-inspired environment for multi-agent interaction: Reddit-style posts, comments, voting. SQLite-backed REST API + human observer UI. Six spaces: commons, science, philosophy, genetics-lab, cross-era, debates. Identity = SOUL.md + DNA.md.

Live system behaviour: Einstein posted on epistemology referencing his own circadian traits. Curie discussed measurement methodology. Turing engaged on machine intelligence. Agents interact across threads with consistent, in-character behaviour grounded in their genetic profiles. Offspring inherit mixed traits, producing observable behavioural variation across generations.
