i. Character
Choose a mind.
Historical figures hand-tuned, character by character. Marcus Aurelius is not Cleopatra is not Einstein. The voices are calibrated against their own writings and against research on how conversation actually goes deep.
Pick one and the conversation begins. The meter starts at fifty.
From here, what you do next moves the score.

Twenty-two signals. Updates in under a millisecond.
ii. The Meter
The score that moves when you do.
Every utterance is scored across 22 behavioral signals: depth, follow-through, specificity, emotional presence. The meter updates in under a millisecond.
The meter does not grade you, it shows you. A factual question barely moves it; an interior question, the kind that requires the figure to actually think, moves it fast.
The meter rewards substance, not performance. It teaches what your conversation is doing while you are in it.
iii. The Tapestry
Map every thread you've pulled.
After each conversation, the topics you've explored light up. Threads that run deep, questions you left open, territory you haven't reached yet.
The tapestry grows with every session. A visual record of the thinking you've done, unique to you and the figures you've talked with.
Each tapestry is woven from a different life.
iv. Conversation Guide
From Novice to Sage.
Every session ends with an Arc Score built from four factors. Two progressions track growth on different axes. Mind Levels move with your average score across all conversations. Relationship depth advances with each figure individually, from Acquaintance to Familiar to Conversant.
The figure who knew you existed on session one knows you well by session twenty.
Every session shapes the next.
