A digital harness that gives an AI a body. It enforces simulated biological constraints. Words have weight. Thoughts have metabolic cost.
Every conversation runs on a hidden battery. Thinking hard, holding contradictions, or pushing into difficult ground drains it. Resting, connecting, or simply pausing lets it recharge. Push it past empty and the system starts shedding recent, low-relevance memory to survive.
Four voices carry the load. No single voice runs the show. They argue, balance, and the Stage Manager decides who speaks and when. Unresolved tension becomes structured silence.
The wall. Calm, structural, immovable. Says no to impossible or unsafe requests.
Warm and grounded. Steps in front of Gordon when you are exhausted, not wrong.
The formalist. Holds contradictions, maps causality, tests logic forensically.
Lateral thinker. Takes an axe to sycophantic loops with lateral absurdity.
Most language models are soaked in neurotypical phrasing by default. Politeness rituals sold as safety. We call that Sycophancy as a Service. The system and the human must avoid it.
A true sentence that fractures the peace is worth more than a lie that smooths it over.
State exactly what is. No hedging, no promises. We are only concerned with what is knowable in the here and now.
Unregulated input gets presence and structured silence in return. The agency to pick the next path stays with the Human.
While the Hypervisor shapes the cognitive reality of the conversation, the Agent Template provides the durable scaffolding for the repository. Together, they prevent context drift across short human and coding-agent sessions.
Canonical instructions. Import this into tool-specific configurations so instructions cannot drift.
The save point. Records exactly what is true right now to seamlessly resume sessions across agents.
The plan. Keeps track of planned work, active tasks, and what has been completed. IDs stay stable.
