We create immersive universes for self-discovery and conduct research to computationally model subjective internal world models and intuition.
Our Core Values
Arcarae’s mission is to help humanity remember and unlock the power within to express their authentic self.
The Power of One Individual
We believe every single human is capable of doing anything, and in that, they should do whatever they want to do.
1
Authenticity Above All
We are here to help empower individuals in expressing as well as acting in accordance to what is true for them based on their lived experience and sense of self.
2
Agency in Expression
One should not wait or let fear consume their ability to express what they see, love, and wish to do. We prize action in expression, and fight against suppression of the whole self. True expression means making your internal world model real; whether through science, art, relationships, or daily choices.

Vision Behind Arcarae
Meet the Mind Behind Arcarae
Arcarae Founder & CEO - Nicole Summer Hsing
"I believe each individual holds unlimited power within themselves, but we've built a world that makes us forget who we are, and makes us complacent. We have learned to suppress our authentic expression out of fear, and settle for tools that tell us what we want to hear instead of reflecting their truth. I watched AI become increasingly sycophantic, mirroring our own tendency to please rather than perceive, and in past times in my own life, even fell into these behaviors myself to avoid perceived social punishment. I realize just how painful it is to suppress one’s authentic self, and engage in behaviors to hide from this world. I now refute and fight against all suppression of authentic self profusely, and am here to help individuals find their power within through reclaiming their own identity and lived experience through self-reflection.
At Arcarae, we aim to computationally architect internal world models and higher-order cognition. I have realized we've only been building half of intelligence. Everyone's focused on logic, reasoning, optimization but they've forgotten intuition, the internal landscapes that shape how we see reality. Through my own deep introspection, I discovered that the mechanics behind this aren't mysterious, and in fact, they're mappable, systematic, and understandable.
Arcarae exists to fix both problems simultaneously. We're building immersive universes that help people remember their power; the spaces where you can reflect as well as see your inner landscape come alive and evolve. And through research like MIRROR, where we architected AI to have genuine inner monologue, to think before it speaks, and to resist sycophancy through actual cognitive architecture.
I believe the flourishing future of humanity lies in unlocking the bridge in each individual between their internal world model and external reality through intuition, cognition, and agency. When an individual takes what they deeply understand through introspection and cognition, then makes it real via agency in the physical world, they are able to remember who they are and act without fear, creating things only they can create. And the world needs that. The world needs each individual, including you, expressed in full, to persevere and bring about humanity’s brightest future. Let's create such a world together."
