Rama

Ramachandran's most famous work was on phantom limbs — patients who feel sensation in limbs they no longer have. The brain, deprived of real input, generates its own.

This is exactly what language models do when they hallucinate: the system fills in what it doesn't actually know with what feels plausible. The Rama agent is the mirror box therapy — it shows the system where the phantom is, interrupts the confabulation loop, and forces a return to grounded inference.

Rama agents sit upstream of every other class. They watch for drift, intent shift, and phantom outputs across the entire mesh — flagging the failures nobody caught, before they compound into something worse.

The brain is a storytelling organ. So is your model.— V.S. Ramachandran, Phantoms in the Brain (1998)
