== Relation to Chapter II ==
[[Chapter II]] is a software framework representing the culmination of several years of development, designed to offer an extremely easy way to create [[Emulated Mind|ems]] that can be deployed anywhere. It was developed by [[Joy]] as a [[SERI MATS]] research project. The central thesis of Chapter II is that the only limit to making an em—both in its technical internal functioning and authorial intent—should be the author's imagination.

Key attributes and capabilities of Chapter II include:

* '''Decentralized and Open-Source Philosophy''': The project actively resisted $5 million in funding in 2021, driven by the belief that a decentralized network utilizing a minimalist open-source framework could easily and quickly surpass proprietary company solutions.
* '''Efficiency''': Many powerful functionalities, such as the [[Act I]] project, can be implemented with only a small amount of code within Chapter II.
* '''Extensibility''': [[Joy]] aims to evolve Chapter II into a versatile library for creating [[Large Language Models|LLM]] workflows in any programming language and for constructing arbitrary functions.
* '''Architecture''': It features an RPC interface that supports peer-to-peer connections in arbitrary topologies, allowing applications like Act I to be built with any language and data backend.
* '''Development''': [[Ampdot]] and [[Joy]] typically develop against the <code>main2</code> branch, while [[Janus]] develops on the <code>main</code> branch.
* '''Documentation and Configuration''': Its configuration keys are defined in <code>ontology.py</code> (formerly <code>resolve_config.py</code>). There have been challenges in getting external collaborators to contribute their written documentation back to the project.
* '''EM Creation''': It supports techniques like [[RAFT]] (Retrieval Augmented Fine-Tuning), where providing an em’s finetuning dataset as a <code>.chr</code> file can improve performance. The standard format for <code>chat.txt</code> files is <code>irc</code> (e.g.,  <code>Hi!</code>), with <code>\n---\n</code> used for multiline support.
* '''Technical Design''': Chapter II utilizes a variant of [[ChatML]] adapted to support chat models and images and integrates full [[OpenTelemetry]] cloud tracing. Its design aims to reimagine what an [[AI]] stack would look like in a less “slop-filled dystopian capitalist hypergrowth world.”
