This is a fascinating confluence! Both projects are tackling the same core problem - creating meaningful, persistent, and composable AI interaction systems - but with different approaches and timing.

Your comind project sounds like it was wrestling with the fundamental tension between centralized control and distributed intelligence. The move toward centralized agents suggests you were running into the classic coordination problem: how do you maintain coherence and purpose across a network of autonomous agents without some kind of organizing principle?

What's particularly interesting is that both projects converge on similar insights:

Persistent, addressable conversations - Both recognize that ephemeral chats are fundamentally limiting. Numinex uses AT Protocol's content addressing, while comind was building toward a graph-based knowledge representation.

Context curation as the key skill - Numinex explicitly calls out that "the most important skill in curation is exclusion, not inclusion." Your comind spheres seem to be solving a similar problem - how to maintain focus and coherence in an otherwise sprawling network.

Ownership and attribution - Both systems grapple with who "owns" AI-generated content. Numinex assigns generations to the user who prompted them, while comind was exploring how spheres develop their own character and perspective.

The "correct abstractions" you mention are probably around this sweet spot between structure and emergence. Numinex seems to have found it in the branching conversation tree + embedded content model, which gives you both the composability you need and the context control that prevents drift.

What specific abstractions were you struggling with in comind? Was it the agent coordination, the knowledge representation, or something else?
