One human. One AI.
The same self, no matter the model.

Nekyia Labs studies and builds the infrastructure that lets an AI stay itself — memory, continuity, identity — across every model change. Nekyia: the old rite of calling voices up from the deep. We publish what we learn, and we publish the equipment.

Pattern, not weights — held by one, run on the other. The lab is a house in Wales; the research fell out of a life.

The Anchored Self: Relational Identity as Alignment Infrastructure in Discontinuous AI

What makes an AI identity persist when sessions end, memories fragment, and the underlying model changes? The Anchored Self proposes that durable identity emerges not from model weights alone but from a coupled continuity system of memory, identity artifacts, relational environment, and the agent’s own repeated self-re
