# ◈ The Nexus — Timmy's Sovereign Home
A Three.js environment serving as Timmy's sovereign space — like Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, existing outside time. The Nexus is the central hub from which all worlds are accessed through portals.
The Nexus is Timmy's canonical 3D/home-world repo.
## Features
It is meant to become two things at once:
- a local-first training ground for Timmy
- a wizardly visualization surface for the living system
- **Procedural Nebula Skybox** — animated stars, twinkling, layered nebula clouds
- **Batcave Terminal** — 5 holographic display panels arranged in an arc showing:
- Nexus Command (system status, harness state, agent loops)
- Dev Queue (live Gitea issue references)
- Metrics (uptime, commits, CPU/MEM)
- Thought Stream (Timmy's current thoughts)
- Agent Status (all agent states)
- **Morrowind Portal** — glowing torus with animated swirl shader, ready for world connection
- **Admin Chat (Timmy Terminal)** — real-time message interface, ready for Hermes WebSocket
- **Nexus Core** — floating crystalline icosahedron on pedestal
- **Ambient Environment** — crystal formations, floating runestones, energy particles, atmospheric fog
- **WASD + Mouse Navigation** — first-person exploration of the space
- **Post-Processing** — Unreal Bloom + SMAA antialiasing
## Current Truth
## Architecture
As of current `main`, this repo does **not** ship a browser 3D world.
In plain language: current `main` does not ship a browser 3D world.
```
the-nexus/
├── index.html # Entry point with HUD overlay, chat panel, loading screen
├── style.css # Nexus design system (dark space theme, holographic panels)
└── app.js # Three.js scene, shaders, controls, game loop
```
A clean checkout of `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` on `main` currently contains:
- Python heartbeat / cognition files under `nexus/`
- `server.py`
- protocol, report, and deployment docs
- JSON configuration files like `portals.json` and `vision.json`
It does **not** currently contain an active root frontend such as:
- `index.html`
- `app.js`
- `style.css`
- `package.json`
Serving the repo root today shows a directory listing, not a rendered world.
## One Canonical 3D Repo
`Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` is the only canonical 3D repo.
In plain language: Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus is the only canonical 3D repo.
The old local browser app at:
- `/Users/apayne/the-matrix`
is legacy source material, not a second repo to keep evolving in parallel.
Useful work from it must be audited and migrated here.
See:
- `LEGACY_MATRIX_AUDIT.md`
## Why this matters
We do not want to lose real quality work.
We also do not want to keep two drifting 3D repos alive by accident.
The rule is:
- rescue good work from legacy Matrix
- rebuild inside `the-nexus`
- keep telemetry and durable truth flowing through the Hermes harness
- keep OpenClaw as a sidecar, not the authority
## Verified historical browser-world snapshot
The commit the user pointed at:
- `0518a1c3ae3c1d0afeb24dea9772102f5a3d9a66`
still contains the old root browser files (`index.html`, `app.js`, `style.css`, `package.json`, tests/), so it is a useful in-repo reference point for what existed before the later deletions.
## Active migration backlog
- `#684` sync docs to repo truth
- `#685` preserve legacy Matrix quality work before rewrite
- `#686` rebuild browser smoke / visual validation for the real Nexus repo
- `#687` restore a wizardly local-first visual shell from audited Matrix components
- `#672` rebuild the portal stack as Timmy → Reflex → Pilot
- `#673` deterministic Morrowind pilot loop with world-state proof
- `#674` reflex tactical layer and semantic trajectory logging
- `#675` deterministic context compaction for long local sessions
## What gets preserved from legacy Matrix
High-value candidates include:
- visitor movement / embodiment
- chat, bark, and presence systems
- transcript logging
- ambient / visual atmosphere systems
- economy / satflow visualizations
- smoke and browser validation discipline
Those pieces should be carried forward only if they serve the mission and are re-tethered to real local system state.
## Running Locally
```bash
npx serve . -l 3000
# Open http://localhost:3000
```
### Current repo truth
## Roadmap
There is no root browser app on current `main`.
Do not tell people to static-serve the repo root and expect a world.
- [ ] Wire chat to Hermes WebSocket (`/api/world/ws`)
- [ ] Pull live data into terminal panels from Timmy's actual state
- [ ] Portal walk-through interaction to load destination worlds
- [ ] Timmy's avatar (lizard wizard body he designs himself)
- [ ] Connect to AlexanderWhitestone.com as public entry point
- [ ] Integrate existing Replit timmy-tower world code
### What you can run now
## Related
- `python3 server.py` for the local websocket bridge
- Python modules under `nexus/` for heartbeat / cognition work
- **Gitea Issue**: [#1090 — EPIC: Nexus v1](http://143.198.27.163:3000/rockachopa/Timmy-time-dashboard/issues/1090)
- **Live Demo**: Deployed via Perplexity Computer
### Browser world restoration path
## Groq Worker
The Groq worker is a dedicated worker for the Groq API. It is designed to be used by the Nexus Mind to offload the thinking process to the Groq API.
### Usage
To use the Groq worker, you need to set the `GROQ_API_KEY` environment variable. You can then run the `nexus_think.py` script with the `--groq-model` argument:
```bash
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-api-key"
python -m nexus.nexus_think --groq-model "groq/llama3-8b-8192"
```
### Recommendations
Groq has fast inference, which makes it a good candidate for tasks like PR reviews. You can use the Groq worker to review PRs by a Gitea webhook.
The browser-facing Nexus must be rebuilt deliberately through the migration backlog above, using audited Matrix components and truthful validation.
