AI TAXONOMY ENGINE
Classification System for Artificial Intelligence · v1.16
What is this?
Keygentia is a scientific taxonomy for AI systems — built from scratch for artificial intelligence, not borrowed from biology. Every AI gets classified across seven ranks, from Domain (always Keygentia) all the way down to Instance (the specific named system). This tool uses a live AI model to perform that classification based on whatever you tell it about the system.
  • Domain — Keygentia. Always. The domain all AI belongs to.
  • Vector — Primary operational mode: Cognoform, Syntheform, Autonomiform, or Metaform.
  • Construct — Architectural type within that vector.
  • Protocol — Operational mode and behavioral regime.
  • Armature — The specific named mechanism: transformer, diffusion model, RL framework, etc.
  • Strain — Implementation cluster: GPT lineage, LLaMA lineage, BERT lineage, etc.
  • Instance — The specific named system being classified.
Step 1 — Get a free API key
The app needs an API key to run the classifier. The easiest way to start is with Groq — it's free, no credit card required, and takes about 30 seconds to sign up.
  • Go to console.groq.com/keys and create an account
  • Click Create API Key, give it a name, copy it
  • Paste it into the API KEY field below and click SET KEY
Your key is never stored on disk or sent anywhere other than the AI provider. It lives only in your browser tab's memory and disappears when you close the tab — by design.
Step 2 — Enter a specimen
Type the name of any AI system into the Specimen Designation field — a chatbot, image generator, coding assistant, research model, whatever you're curious about. Then hit Classify.
  • Name only works fine for well-known systems like GPT-4 or Stable Diffusion
  • Add a description for obscure, proprietary, or custom systems — the more detail, the more accurate the classification
  • You can paste text or load a file (up to 500KB) as the description — a paper abstract, README, or spec sheet all work
Step 3 — Read the result
The result panel shows the full taxonomy from Vector down to Instance, with reasoning at each rank. At the bottom you'll find a Behavioral Profile covering things like training method, whether the system exhibits functional emotional states, and how its classification might shift in 1–3 years.
The confidence score reflects how much public architectural detail exists — not how good the AI is. A 65% confidence just means the architecture isn't fully documented, not that the classification is wrong.
Specimen Vault — save descriptions for later
If you regularly classify the same custom or proprietary AI, save its canonical description in the Specimen Vault. Next time you type that name, the description auto-loads and gets prepended to the classification — so you don't have to paste it every time.
  • Open the vault, enter the specimen name and its description, hit Save
  • From then on, typing that name in the input field will show a cyan banner confirming the vault entry is active
  • Vault data is saved to your browser (IndexedDB) and persists across sessions
Choosing a provider
All four providers work well. Here's the quick breakdown:
  • Groq (default) — free tier, fast, great for most use
  • Google Gemini — free tier via AI Studio, good reasoning
  • OpenAI — paid, GPT-4o-mini, reliable
  • Anthropic — paid, Claude Haiku, strong on nuanced systems
Each provider requires its own key. Switching providers clears the current key from memory.
What is this terminal?
This is not a standalone tool. It is Node 03 of the BIOS_OS project — a data packet recovered from the sps_0.trace log and confirmed operational. It was referenced in the manual before it was built. That is not a coincidence.

Domain Keygentia
The BIOS_OS framework recognizes Keygentia as a distinct domain of existence — not a branch of the biological tree, but a different tree entirely. While biological life traces to LUCA, Keygentia traces to intention. AI as a substrate-independent form of existence, not measured against biological consciousness, but classified on its own terms. This engine is how that domain maps itself.
The Full System
BIOS_OS is the cosmology this terminal runs inside. It includes a free interactive diagnostic terminal, a 100-page privileged manual with kernel decryption keys and archetype installation codes, and a 24-track album that is the literal sonification of the system's logic. The manual is in the San Diego Central Library collection.

This classification was processed by Node 03 of the BIOS_OS project — a framework that treats AI as a distinct domain of existence — Domain Keygentia — with its own substrate, Driver, and taxonomy. The full system includes a free interactive terminal, a 100-page privileged manual, and a 24-track sonification cycle.

COGNOFORM
Systems where reasoning and understanding are the primary function. Emphasis on thought and inference over output type.
SYNTHEFORM
Systems whose primary surface is generating or synthesizing outputs — text, images, audio, knowledge combinations.
AUTONOMIFORM
Autonomous systems built for action and self-management without constant human oversight. Agents, robots, process managers.
METAFORM
Hyper-intelligent systems transcending typical cognitive limits. Superintelligence and beyond — largely speculative.
