HangJang/C4-Cognitive-Classifier-v1

C4 Cognitive Classifier v1

27-class cognitive state classifier family. Both models map text into the Z₃³ cognitive topology using 3 independent heads (Time, Scale, Agency).

This repository hosts the ONNX inference files. There are two variants:

Variant	File	Base model	Size	Mean val accuracy	Tokenizer source	Best for
light (default)	c4_bert_v1.onnx	DistilBERT	~416 MB	85.9%	this repo	Laptops, fast SaaS, first tries
heavy	c4_mdeberta_v2.onnx	mDeBERTa-v3-base	~1.1 GB	96.5%	C4-Cognitive-Classifier-Heavy	Best accuracy, multilingual, research

The heavy model is also available as a self-contained repo at HangJang/C4-Cognitive-Classifier-Heavy, which includes its own mDeBERTa tokenizer and model card.

State Space

Axis	Values	Meaning
Time (t)	0=Past, 1=Present, 2=Future	Temporal orientation of thought
Scale (s)	0=Concrete, 1=Abstract, 2=Meta	Level of abstraction
Agency (a)	0=Self, 1=Other, 2=System	Relational stance

The full 27-state space (3×3×3) represents all combinations. Each axis is predicted independently via a 3-way softmax head.

Performance

light — DistilBERT (c4_bert_v1.onnx)

Metric	Value
Validation accuracy	85.9% (t=90.6%, s=88.0%, a=79.1%)
Inference (ONNX, CPU)	~4.3 ms p50 (Apple M-series)
Model size	416 MB

heavy — mDeBERTa-v3-base (c4_mdeberta_v2.onnx)

Head	Accuracy
Time (t)	98.1%
Scale (s)	97.1%
Agency (a)	94.2%
Mean	96.5%

Usage

With Deep Self Mirror (DSM)

# Light (default)
dsm me ~/Downloads/conversations.json

# Heavy
dsm me ~/Downloads/conversations.json --c4-model heavy

# Web UI
streamlit run dsm_web.py
# Choose Light or Heavy in the "Model settings" panel.

Raw inference (light)

import onnxruntime as ort
import numpy as np
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

session = ort.InferenceSession("c4_bert_v1.onnx")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HangJang/C4-Cognitive-Classifier-v1")

text = "Propose a novel approach to decentralized identity"
tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="np", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=512)

outputs = session.run(None, {
    "input_ids": tokens["input_ids"],
    "attention_mask": tokens["attention_mask"],
})

t = int(np.argmax(outputs[0][0]))  # Time: 0/1/2
s = int(np.argmax(outputs[1][0]))  # Scale: 0/1/2
a = int(np.argmax(outputs[2][0]))  # Agency: 0/1/2

print(f"C4 State: ({t}, {s}, {a})")

Raw inference (heavy)

import onnxruntime as ort
import numpy as np
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

session = ort.InferenceSession("c4_mdeberta_v2.onnx")
# The heavy tokenizer lives in the dedicated heavy repo:
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HangJang/C4-Cognitive-Classifier-Heavy")

text = "Я думаю о будущем и строю планы на многие годы вперёд."
tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="np", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=256)

outputs = session.run(None, {
    "input_ids": tokens["input_ids"],
    "attention_mask": tokens["attention_mask"],
})

t = int(np.argmax(outputs[0][0]))
s = int(np.argmax(outputs[1][0]))
a = int(np.argmax(outputs[2][0]))

print(f"C4 State: ({t}, {s}, {a})")

Notes

• The heavy model is multilingual (English, Russian, and 100+ languages) thanks to the mDeBERTa-v3-base encoder.
• INT8 quantization was tested but degraded accuracy substantially, so both releases keep FP32 weights for maximum quality.
• Downstream projects interpret the raw (t,s,a) coordinates according to their domain:
  • AI safety — c4protocol / c4-meta-system
  • Creative discovery — C4 Reqber
