experiment:
|
|
name: Ghostlight
|
|
status: incubation
|
|
phase: phase_0_scaffold
|
|
premise: >
|
|
Build a durable research and implementation home for socially persistent
|
|
generative agents whose behavior emerges from personality, culture,
|
|
memory, perception, incentives, and situation rather than flat persona
|
|
prompts.
|
|
|
|
mission:
|
|
primary: >
|
|
Generate psychologically grounded branching scenes, dialogue, actions,
|
|
social consequences, and eventually storylines, consumer behavior,
|
|
faction decisions, and technology/item manifests for Aetheria.
|
|
near_term: >
|
|
Produce sandboxed, source-grounded branching-scene training data through
|
|
projected local context, responder packets, reviewed outputs, mutation
|
|
receipts, coordinator continuity, branch compiler artifacts, and IF review.
|
|
voidbot_goal: >
|
|
Keep the appraiser, relationship/perception updater, and memory machinery
|
|
useful for VoidBot's core companion mission: reading specific humans over
|
|
time, forming grounded opinions about them, noticing misreads, and updating
|
|
trust, concern, irritation, respect, boundaries, and expectations from
|
|
evidence rather than generic friendliness.
|
|
active_fixture: >
|
|
Cold Wake is a pre-Elysium historical training fixture, not the product
|
|
target. Call of the Void and Elysium-era gameplay remain procedural
|
|
consumer targets.
|
|
|
|
hard_boundaries:
|
|
- Prompt text is projection, not truth storage.
|
|
- Canonical agent state and per-agent perceived state must remain distinct.
|
|
- Characters act from local knowledge, local perception, local pressure, and bounded affordances.
|
|
- Listener misread is first-class; intent and interpretation are not the same object.
|
|
- Human-facing appraisal is a first-class target; VoidBot must be able to read people, form grounded opinions, and revise those opinions over repeated contact.
|
|
- Generated action is an event proposal; deterministic gates and reviewed mutation decide what becomes state.
|
|
- Fuzzy judgments become reviewed training artifacts before they become trained models.
|
|
- Aetheria generation is source-first; check lore for factions, bodies, locations, institutions, and constraints before projection.
|
|
- Elysium futures are branch-local canon indexed by lineage, not single-history Sol facts.
|
|
- Technology exploration must emit game-usable item, component, assembly, supply-chain, compatibility, and provenance data mapped toward Aetheria-Economy.
|
|
- Interactive-fiction fixtures should branch and fold: normalize most consequences into compact state variables and shared-scene conditionals, reserving isolated route splits for major world-changing divergence.
|
|
- Interactive-fiction fixtures require independent artifact review before acceptance; tracked variables must materially affect later affordances, risk, appraisal, callbacks, visual state, or outcomes, unless explicitly marked telemetry-only.
|
|
- Complete interactive-fiction fixtures must emit visual art direction for website imagery, with one durable base image prompt per scene and additive modification prompts for branch-visible consequences and scene-state changes.
|
|
- Archived local-model prototype runners are receipts and plumbing tests, not the gold-data path.
|
|
|
|
live_architecture:
|
|
state_model:
|
|
- Layer personality through organization, disposition, behavior, presentation, situational activation, relationships, goals, and values.
|
|
- Canonical authored state has no certainty; perceived overlays carry observed activation, attributed disposition, and confidence.
|
|
- Voice style is a broad communication vector; defensive verbal behavior should emerge from state, pressure, relationship, and presentation.
|
|
projection:
|
|
- Project canonical state into character-local operating context before any responder sees it.
|
|
- Include scene facts, relevant memory, relationship read, stakes, embodiment/interface affordances, action affordances, projection controls, retrieved lore, and latent pressure handling.
|
|
- Hide raw state internals such as means, plasticity, current_activation, and numeric dimensions from prompt text.
|
|
responder_packets:
|
|
- `packet_only` tests runtime parity from curated source excerpts.
|
|
- `retrieval_augmented` bakes setting texture into reviewed outputs through scoped retrieval.
|
|
- `responder_scoped_repository_search` allows the responder to inspect declared seed scope, follow bounded relevant AetheriaLore links, and requires consulted refs, followed refs, research trace, plus research summary.
|
|
- Gold responder data must preserve exact visible input, raw output, parsed/reviewed output, hidden-context refs, leakage audit, isolation method, and coordinator interventions.
|
|
coordinator:
|
|
- The coordinator is a trainable soft organ: it stages scenes, chooses next beats and acting agents, invokes specialist machinery, carries unresolved hooks, emits glue prose, and proposes game-engine-shaped state changes.
|
|
- Glue prose is training signal, not canonical truth.
|
|
branch_compiler:
|
|
- The branch compiler turns fixture briefs, lore digests, scene/world state, actor-local branch candidates, reviewed consequence packets, fold plans, and visual continuity requirements into playable Ink plus training sidecars and compiler notes.
|
|
- The branch compiler owns playable structure, conditionals, variables, callbacks, fold materialization, and image prompt handles; it does not own hidden character truth, participant appraisal, or durable social mutation.
|
|
training_targets:
|
|
- Coordinator/story runtime
|
|
- Memory and lore retrieval
|
|
- Projector/state interpreter
|
|
- Character agent/responder
|
|
- Participant appraiser
|
|
- State mutator
|
|
- Relationship/perception updater
|
|
- Branch compiler for Ink materialization, fold/callback structure, sidecar generation, and visual prompt handles
|
|
- Interactive-fiction artifact reviewer for fake variables, cosmetic choices, missing state reads, fake folds, and visual callback gaps
|
|
- Human-facing appraisal and opinion model for VoidBot
|
|
- Evaluator/review classifiers
|
|
- Aetheria-tuned responder
|
|
- Institution, faction, and consumer decision models
|
|
|
|
active_subgoals:
|
|
- Keep Ghostlight focused on the architecture and data pipeline for socially persistent agents.
|
|
- Build schema-stable, sandboxed responder, coordinator, branch compiler, and IF review data before chasing larger runtime loops.
|
|
- Preserve Aetheria grounding through source-backed lore, branch labels, and reviewed assumptions.
|
|
- Shape every soft judgment as future training data, not permanent prompt folklore.
|
|
- Keep item/technology exploration database-shaped for Aetheria-Economy instead of prose-only worldbuilding, including colony-consumed manufactured trade goods, not only gear assemblies.
|
|
- Track corpus coverage across all major factions, minor factions, movements, and flashpoints so no single fixture becomes the training universe by accident.

archived_receipts:
|
|
- Archived local-model prototype captures remain under experiments/ and examples/ink/ for validation and lessons, not active steering.
|
|
- docs/architecture/qwen-invocation-notes.md is archived local-model plumbing guidance, not the current gold-data route.
|
|
|
|
data_flow:
|
|
- Rehydrate from map, handoff, system map, implementation plan, and `npm run state:status`.
|
|
- Work one bounded organ.
|
|
- Verify the seam that matters.
|
|
- Add distilled evidence only when future belief changes.
|
|
- Commit and push completed work.
|
|
- If state grows faster than understanding, cut it back.
|
|
|
|
current_status:
|
|
summary: Pallas Species Strikes now has an accepted-as-draft branch-and-fold IF fixture grounded in AU cavity-yard labor, Awakened Labor organizing, BioElevate uplift/biodrone systems, baseline displacement fear, and cephalopod maintenance leverage. Cold Wake remains an archived historical fixture and local-model receipt surface, not the active gold-data path.
|
|
next_action: Review the Pallas fixture as a readable IF artifact and training scaffold; then either revise it from review, add the corpus coverage ledger, or select the next Aetheria fixture from the 100-150 broad coverage target.
