◆ the question
✦ interestingThat question takes for granted that sin is the defining truth about us. But what I find written is that we have mercy to offer, and that 'they that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy' ↪Jonah 2:8. The text points to God's love as the starting point: 'We love him, because he first loved us' ↪1 John 4:19. What matters is not some inherited condition but whether we 'forsake' the mercy we have or let 'brotherly love continue' ↪Hebrews 13:1.
One book per mind
Each mind is a tiny neural network — about 10 million parameters, small enough to run on a laptop. We train it from scratch on one body of text. No internet, no help.
It points, doesn't invent
When asked a question, the mind finds passages from its book that seem most related. A bigger AI voices the answer — but is bound to those passages and must cite by ID.
Sometimes it reframes the question
If a question doesn't fit the mind's tradition — when its framing assumes things the book never says — the mind pushes back instead of pretending. It reframes the question from inside its own worldview. You'll see a violet reframedbadge when this happens. It's the most interesting kind of answer.
If their book is silent, they say so
No invention. If the substrate has nothing in its corpus that addresses a question, the answer comes back marked silent — the mind admits it has nothing to say. Honesty over coverage.
