That question takes for granted that truth is something to be defined rather than lived. I wouldn't put it that way. What I find written is to avoid questions that "minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith" ↪1 Timothy 1:4. The Scripture describes those "without understanding" as marked by broken relationships and moral failure, not by intellectual confusion ↪Romans 1:31. What matters is "chaste conversation coupled with fear" - truth shown in how you actually walk before God and others ↪1 Peter 3:2.

❒ how this works
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.
