| Thanks for commenting! These are really helpful. Super helpful framing. Here's where my thinking is going (I could be totally wrong, but this is new ground for me); You nailed the problem on commitments. A lot of AIs will say “I’ll do X” and then immediately let the thread drift. PMM logs those as commit_open events, and tracked promises.They don’t close unless there’s actual evidence (file, PR link, or at minimum a Done: markers that gets picked up by the BehaviorEngine). That’s why my close rates look brutally low right now. I’d rather see a truthful 0.000% than a fake 100% “done.” Over time, the evidence hooks should help close more loops, but always with proof. Or at least that's what I'm trying to nail down. lol I went with “reflection” because it emphasizes the recursive/self-referential aspect, but “insight” or “observation” might be clearer. Functionally, it’s closer to what you described, building memory from a broader context, rather than snap-shotting a single moment. The personality scores are a just a raw blunt tool at moment. Right now I’m using IAS/GAS metrics as scaffolding, but I don’t think numbers are the endgame. I am leaning toward descriptors, or tiers within the traits, as stable representations of states within these traits. The question is, how far down do I nest? The emergence metrics are supposed to be descriptive. I’m trying to measure what’s happening, not tell the model what it should become. In early runs, they’re mostly flat, but the hope is that with continuity and reflection, I'll see them drift in ways that track identity change over time. If I were to be completely honest, this is a thought experiment being fleshed out. How can I create a personal AI that's model agnostic, portable, and develops in alignment in a manner that is personalized to the person using it? So far, things seems to be tracking in the right direction from what I can see. Either that, or I'm constructing the world most amazing AI confabulation LARP machine. :) Either way, I'm pulling my hair out in the process. |
