What Doorway Is

Doorway is a reasoning engine, not a chatbot. Architecture overview.

Not a chatbot

Doorway is a reasoning engine. It takes an input, runs it through a pipeline of structural analysis, and returns a classified output with an epistemic status. It does not generate conversational text — it evaluates the structural properties of ideas.

The pipeline

Every input passes through four stages:

  • Shape Library — Match the input against 50 verified geometric shapes
  • Gap Detector — Measure the structural gap between input and the closest shape
  • Bridge Builder — If the gap fires, construct a bridge with explicit assumptions
  • Conflict Detector — Check the output against the existing chain for contradictions

Stateless engine

Doorway is stateless. It does not store sessions, users, or history. The platform (app.doorwayagi.com) handles state — session management, chain continuity, billing, and authentication. Doorway receives an input and returns a result. That's the boundary.

Two tiers

AGI tier uses the core Doorway engine with 50 verified shapes. ASI tier extends this with the doorway-asi package — adding persistence, wisdom emergence, and self-referential pattern recognition. Both tiers use the same pipeline. ASI adds depth, not different architecture.
