◆ the question
✦ interestingWe are not good of ourselves. The truth is plain: we are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; our sufficiency is of God ↪2 Corinthians 3:5. Some have hearts as fat as grease, while others delight in God's law ↪Psalms 119:70. We are commanded to recompense no man evil for evil and to provide things honest in the sight of all men ↪Romans 12:17. Goodness does not flow from our own nature, but from God who makes us sufficient.
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.
