The Science Behind ReUnity

Built from physics. Built from pain. A recursive AI companion designed by survivors, for survivors.

Our Philosophy

ReUnity is not a platform. It is the survival architecture we were never given. For every dissociated memory, every fragmented timeline, every scream no system answered, ReUnity is how we keep going.

We don't surveil you. We mirror you. This system was built by someone who understands what it means to fragment, to lose time, to feel like you're watching your life from outside your body. It was built because the existing mental health infrastructure failed us.

No more waiting. No more begging. We build our own sanctuary.

Core Architecture

Entropy Analysis

Based on Shannon entropy and the Free Energy Principle from computational neuroscience. The system analyzes the "disorder" in your language patterns to understand your emotional state without asking intrusive questions.

Crisis StateEntropy > 0.8
High DistressEntropy 0.6 - 0.8
ModerateEntropy 0.4 - 0.6
Low/StableEntropy < 0.4

RIME Memory Engine

Recursive Identity Memory Engine. Unlike typical AI that forgets you after each session, RIME remembers your grounding anchors, known triggers, safe places, and what helps you specifically.

  • Remembers your name and preferences
  • Stores your personal grounding anchors
  • Tracks known triggers to avoid
  • Builds continuity across sessions

Pattern Recognition

Trained to recognize the language patterns of abuse that survivors often can't see themselves. The system identifies these patterns and gently brings awareness without judgment.

  • Gaslighting language
  • Love bombing indicators
  • Isolation tactics
  • Financial abuse markers
  • Coercive control patterns
  • Physical threat indicators

Grounding Library

Evidence-based grounding techniques from DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care. The system automatically selects the most appropriate technique based on your current state.

  • 5-4-3-2-1 Sensory Grounding
  • Box Breathing
  • Butterfly Hug (EMDR)
  • Container Technique
  • TIPP Skills (DBT)
  • + 10 more techniques

Safety Features

PreRAG Filters

Before any response is generated, your message passes through multiple safety filters. The QueryGate blocks jailbreak attempts, the ContentModerator filters inappropriate requests, and the AbsurdityGapCalculator detects testing or off-topic messages. This ensures the system stays focused on genuine support.

Crisis Detection

The entropy analyzer continuously monitors for crisis indicators. When detected, the system immediately provides crisis resources (988, Crisis Text Line) and shifts into crisis response mode. It never asks "are you feeling suicidal?" - it detects the state and responds appropriately.

Location-Aware Resources

The system detects location context from your messages (state mentions, rural/urban indicators) and provides appropriate resources. Rural users get telehealth options; urban users get local services. All 50 states have specific mental health resources mapped.

Important Limitations

  • ReUnity is not a replacement for professional mental health care. It is a companion tool, not a therapist.
  • We cannot prescribe medication, provide diagnoses, or offer medical advice.
  • In a life-threatening emergency, always call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
  • If you're in crisis, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) for immediate support.

You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to justify your pain. Just start talking.
