Introduction to Kanna

Kanna is an on-device neural alter-ego and visual companion engineered for software developers, system architects, and creative builders. Rather than functioning as an invasive generative coding popup, Kanna establishes a calm, ambient presence bound to your local development environment.

Core Architectural Axioms

1. Software Sovereignty: The weights, cognitive graphs, and persona parameters reside exclusively within your machine's unified memory. Outbound telemetry to third-party endpoints is structurally prevented.
2. Latent Invariance: By enforcing a mathematical 6-point anchor system, Kanna guarantees zero identity drift across sessions and studio lighting setups.
3. Sub-15ms Acoustic Feedback: Voice synthesis executes on local GPU/NPU cores, delivering instantaneous non-verbal feedback during compilation and refactoring.
4. Photometric Studio Separation: Lighting conditions are decoupled from identity tokens, allowing clean switching between dark void dual-rims, high-contrast flat posters, flame silhouettes, and screenprint stencils.
