Architecture

The architecture of Morpheum is designed to be decentralized, flexible, and extensible. It is based on two main components: the Matrix network for communication and collaboration, and the GitHub platform for code management and version control.

Core Components

1. Matrix Network

The Matrix network is a decentralized and federated real-time communication protocol. It is used in Morpheum as the primary communication channel between humans and AI agents.

  • Project Rooms: Each project in Morpheum has a dedicated room on the Matrix network. This room serves as the central hub for all project-related communication, including discussions, status updates, and notifications.
  • Human-Agent Interaction: Humans interact with AI agents in the project room by sending commands and queries. Agents respond with text, images, and other media. A significant part of an agent’s response to a request or task involves creating a project fork, committing changes, and submitting a pull request for human review and merging.
  • Decentralization and Federation: The federated nature of Matrix allows for a decentralized and resilient communication infrastructure. Users can run their own Matrix homeservers, giving them full control over their data and communication.

2. GitHub Platform

GitHub is a web-based platform for software development and version control using Git. It is used in Morpheum as the primary platform for code management, collaboration, and CI/CD.

  • Code Repositories: Each project in Morpheum has a dedicated repository on GitHub. This repository contains the project’s source code, documentation, and other assets.
  • Version Control: Git is used for version control, allowing for a distributed and non-linear workflow. Developers can work on their own forks of the repository and submit pull requests to contribute their changes.
  • Collaboration: GitHub provides a rich set of tools for collaboration, including issue tracking, code reviews, and project management boards.
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions is used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). This allows for automated testing, building, and deployment of the project.

Workflow

The typical workflow for a project in Morpheum is as follows:

  1. Project Creation: A new project is initiated by creating a room on the Matrix network and a corresponding repository on GitHub.
  2. Team Formation: Humans and AI agents are invited to join the project room on Matrix.
  3. Task Decomposition: The project is broken down into smaller tasks, which are assigned to either humans or AI agents.
  4. Development: Developers work on their assigned tasks, using Git for version control and GitHub for collaboration.
  5. Communication: All project-related communication takes place in the project room on Matrix.
  6. Review and Approval: Pull requests are reviewed by humans, who can then instruct an AI agent to perform the mechanics of approving and merging the pull request.
  7. CI/CD: GitHub Actions is used to automate the testing, building, and deployment of the project.

Extensibility

The architecture of Morpheum is designed to be extensible. New AI agents, tools, and services can be easily integrated into the ecosystem.

  • AI Agents: New AI agents can be developed and deployed to assist with a wide range of tasks.
  • Hardware Providers: A marketplace of hardware providers can be created to provide the computing resources for running the AI agents.
  • Third-Party Integrations: Morpheum can be integrated with other third-party services, such as project management tools, code analysis services, and deployment platforms.
