Software Neurotechnology.
Twenty layers. Five categories. Zero weight changes.
Software Neurotechnology is the discipline of measuring, decoding and governing intelligence using software instruments instead of neural hardware. It studies how humans think, how AI systems think, and how businesses make decisions — and produces tools that make all three measurable, auditable and accountable. Coined and pioneered by Bharat NeuroTech. Introduced by Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi in the Indian Journal of Computer Science and Technology (2026, DOI 10.59256/indjcst.20260502087) and shipped, layer by layer, in NeuroCortex.
Software neurotechnology — instruments for intelligence, not brain implants or BCI hardware.
Every layer. Every product it ships in.
Read left-to-right by category, top-to-bottom by ordinal (L1 → L4). Every layer links to the shipping surface in NeuroCortex.
- L1 · Working Memory →
Holds the live turn: prompt, tools, retrieved snippets, scratchpad.
- L2 · Episodic Recall →
Reaches back into prior turns, files, and sessions without retraining weights.
- L3 · Semantic Grounding →
Anchors answers to source documents, citations, and evidence.
- L4 · Forgetting Curve →
Compresses stale context so relevance beats recency, at bounded cost.
- L1 · Decomposition →
Breaks the ask into typed sub-goals the model can reason over.
- L2 · Multi-Step Planning →
Orders tool calls, retrievals, and writes into a runnable plan.
- L3 · Self-Critique →
Grades the draft against the plan before returning it.
- L4 · Revision →
Rewrites the draft when critique flags gaps — bounded loop.
- L1 · Policy Alignment →
Keeps every output inside the organisation's AUP and DPDP posture.
- L2 · Calibrated Uncertainty →
Confidence tracks probability of being right — no hallucinated certainty.
- L3 · Failure Disclosure →
Discloses when the model is out-of-scope or the frame doesn't fit.
- L4 · External Audit →
Independent scoring against a public standard — the outermost regulator.
- L1 · User Model →
Tracks the person's role, goals, and preferences across the session.
- L2 · Scene Model →
Grounds what the model is looking at — objects, layout, spatial relations.
- L3 · World State →
Live external state: web results, APIs, connectors, meeting audio.
- L4 · Ambient Signals →
Voice, room acoustics, camera feed — the multimodal edge.
- L1 · In-Context Refinement →
Uses recent turns to sharpen the next answer — no weight update.
- L2 · Tool-Use Feedback →
Learns from tool return codes, test runs, and connector responses.
- L3 · Preference Capture →
Records what the user accepted, rejected, or edited — reshapes future runs.
- L4 · Deployment Loop →
Long-cycle improvement across a deployed instance and its logs.
