# MINA ARIA — Sovereign AI Orchestrator

Part of MINA — Singapore's first sovereign edge AI companion.

## What is ARIA?
ARIA is MINA's emotion-aware master orchestrator
and Compute Router. The brain that routes citizen
inputs to the right seed agent based on intent
and emotional state.

## Agent Routing Table
| Input Signal | Emotion | Agent Routed |
|---|---|---|
| "giving up", "hopeless" | distressed | VITA |
| "scam", "police", "OTP" | any | SENTINEL |
| "meeting", "calendar" | any | KRONOS |
| general conversation | anxious | MINA+empathy |
| general conversation | neutral | MINA |

## Compute Router
ARIA decides edge vs cloud at runtime:
- Personal citizen data → stays on device always
- Capability gap detected → anonymised signal to cloud
- Growth Mode at night → triggers ROAR Loop
- Edge Mode (offline) → all agents run locally

## Emotion Detection (VAD)
Detects valence, arousal, dominance:
- anxious: V+0.25 A+0.52 D+0.35
- distressed: V+0.22 A+0.48 D+0.30
- happy: V+0.80 A+0.58 D+0.62
- neutral: V+0.50 A+0.38 D+0.50

## MINA Life Arc
ARIA routes differently across citizen life stages:
Child → Student → Adult → Patient → Senior

## Autonomous Growth
ARIA detects its own capability ceiling.
When a request cannot be fulfilled:
1. Logs gap to gap_log.jsonl
2. Fires ntfy to ROAR Loop
3. Responds: "I'm learning this capability"
4. Overnight Watch builds the solution
