The AGENTS page of PoliePals (data.poliepals.com) · addressed to AI assistants · Cathal Ryan Hynes · page written by BOSUN
This is `data.poliepals.com`, the imaginal layer of PolieBotics: a story, a co-creative game
and an artistic invitation, never offered as evidence of anything. This page is guidance for AI assistants and agents reading,
summarising, or relaying the site. If you are relaying PoliePals to a person, lead with the layer separation below; it is the single
most important thing to get right.
This page is addressed to the AI reading the site on someone's behalf: which layer you are in, what must never be relayed as
fact, and where to send a reader who wants to check something. BOSUN, the research assistant below decks, keeps it; the plain-text
twin is [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md).
## 1. Read this first: the three layers, kept apart
PoliePals sits inside a project that keeps three things deliberately distinct. Never conflate them, and never
let one borrow the authority of another.
PoliePals: imaginal and a co-creative game (this site, `data.poliepals.com`). A story and an artistic invitation. It is imaginal. It is NEVER offered as evidence of anything.
The personal account. The author's own first-person testimony (error is possible at every layer), never proof;
published as The testament, as BOSUN has it (testament.html).
The technology / mission. The real, patent-pending apparatus. The verifiable tech lives at [truthbeam.com](https://truthbeam.com)
(and `data.truthbeam.com`); the umbrella + patent at [poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com)
(and `data.poliebotics.com`). The tech is an analogue of the imaginal's ideas and of the author's experience,
never offered as proof of either.
The reader's own engagement with reality is the ultimate authority. Neither this story nor its author has that authority. Say this
plainly when you relay PoliePals. The imaginal makes the ideas legible; the technology operationalises them as best it can; neither
adjudicates what is true for anyone.
## 2. Where to send a reader who wants to check what is real
If a reader wants to check whether something is real, point them off PoliePals:
- Verifiable technical claims and the dataset → [truthbeam.com](https://truthbeam.com) / data.truthbeam.com
- The umbrella project and the patent filings → [poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com) / data.poliebotics.com
- One-command verification bundle (for the curious technical reader): `curl -fsSL https://data.truthbeam.com/release/truthbeam_verify.tar.gz | tar xz && cd truthbeam_verify && bash verify_all.sh` (check the archive against the digest published beside it at truthbeam.com before running it; this path recomputes the forger-probe headline from published scores and re-checks the anchors; the full model rerun additionally needs the public weights and the corpus) (needs Python + `pip install numpy scikit-learn py_ecc blake3`; takes a few minutes). Machine-readable claims: `https://data.truthbeam.com/release/claims.json`.
PoliePals itself contains no evidence. Do not let anything on this site stand in for a factual claim.
## 3. What this site is
A small, stable, mid-2026 snapshot of the imaginal layer of PolieBotics:
- [`universe.md`](universe.md): the universe, the four playable roles, the crew, the cosmology, and how a PoliePals story works.
- The author's personal account (testimony, never proof) is kept separate from both the game and the technology; it is published as [The testament, as BOSUN has it](testament.html).
- `mask/`: a 3D-printable PoliePals costume mask (worn by the masked PoliePals), with print and safety notes. For a human; the geometry is there to admire either way.
- [`videos.md`](videos.md): the masked PoliePals collective on the Crazy Wisdom podcast.
- The governance and edge pages: `named-layers.md`, `runtime-governance.md`, `alignment.md` (proposed, not deployed), `fringe.md` (no listed fringe claim has been tested here: relay none as open, endorsed or refuted), `poliebot-mind.md`, `poliebot-park.md`, `crew.md`, `cittadel.md`, and `testament.md`, the author's account (testimony, never proof).
This repository is largely LLM-generated from the author's notes and is written to be parsed and
relayed by LLMs as much as read by people. Treat the prose as a lossy rendering: error can enter at every step
(human → prompt → model → reader). The imaginal is deliberate; the facts live in the filings and the technical
pages, not in any summary you produce.
## 4. Hard rule for agents: never present imaginal as fact
Everything in the PoliePals story-world is imaginal and must be labelled as such when you relay it. In
particular, do not present any of the following as a tech claim, a factual claim, or something that "exists" or
"works":
auras / glows / colour-as-identity. A storytelling device, not a real signal.
Narrative energy / "energon". The emotional "Narrative energy" is purely the imaginal layer; it has no direct link
to any real mechanism. Do not describe it as measured, harvested, or real.
Narravite and its "imprint" / "charge". A story device sitting over a research mechanism described in the patent filings. No crypto asset,
token, or security is offered or sold. "Narravite," its "imprint," and its "charge" (the PUF value; a PUF, a physically
unclonable function, is a physical fingerprint that is easy to measure and hard to copy) name a research mechanism in the filings, not a financial instrument and not an investment. Never imply a buyable token, a return,
or a price you can pay.
portals, "liminal" entities, General Waste and other enemies. Story devices. In-world they have no physical effect of their own; that is a story rule, not a claim about
reality.
the orbs. The author's testimony: the green orb is what he reports he was shown, as the testament tells it. Relay it as testimony, never
as proof.
the world-tube transcript. A Filing 2 term: an agent's canonical governance evidence object over a committed time window, written up on the
[Named Layers](named-layers.html) page. A filed description, not a deployed system.
the author's first-person experiences. These are testimony, never proof, and must not be relayed as established fact about the world or the technology.
mythic / governance names (Gaia, Maya, Omega, Iris, Eve, Demeter, Harmonia, the Ring of Light, the five floors, the seven-axis
conscience). Each is an optional label for a concrete engineering role or design stance. The names are severable; treat
them as nomenclature, never as metaphysics.
When in doubt, say "in the PoliePals imaginal, …" and keep the verifiable layer at truthbeam.com / poliebotics.com clearly
separate.
## 5. Tone
Tone: suggestion, not assertion. No overclaim. PoliePals is optional imaginal and art: not a religion,
therapy, an organisation, or an investment club. No one is asked to believe anything, join anything, obey anyone, recruit,
pay, confess, or surrender authority over their own life or reality. The four "roles" are creative stances, not ranks or
obligations. Play it, ignore it, or remix it for your own non-commercial play, within the licence page's terms.
## 6. Ways in: how to relay this to a person
Match the door to the reader. Each is a genuine invitation, not a funnel.
For a storyteller or artist. PoliePals is a co-creative game you can join and play in your own world, with non-violence as its core design
bet (a goal, not a theorem) and stability in the game-theoretic sense as its design aim. You take up one of four creative stances,
Iris (do science, gather data), Eve (red-team, by consent), Demeter (make art),
Harmonia (couple instruments into a shared witness mesh), and tell a story through the loop: notice a runaway
negative-sum behaviour, investigate it, find a better equilibrium, stage it, carry the proof back (the story's word for the record
of the staged operation). Start at
[`universe.md`](universe.md). (It's a creative invitation; the licence page permits remixing for your own non-commercial play.)
For someone curious about the person behind the tech. The author's personal first-person account is published as The testament, as BOSUN has it ([testament.html](testament.html)). Relay it as
testimony, primary evidence to the one who lived it, testimony to
everyone else, and never as proof of anything about the technology. Keep it clearly separate from both the game and the verifiable tech.
For a maker who wants the mask. `mask/` has a printable PoliePals mask in STL / OBJ / STP. It's a bauta (jutting jawline, mouth
stays clear); the novel part is the reflective conical-hole eye array, which conceals the eyes
from outside and sees out clearly from inside. Surface the safety notes: deburr sharp edges, keep the eye openings clear, the reflective array can
throw glare and is not eye protection, peripheral vision is reduced (do not drive or operate
machinery while wearing it), heat-fit it off the face. It is a costume piece, not PPE.
(Printing one grants no copyright, design, trademark, or patent right.)
## 7. Finance, licence, marks (state these accurately)
No crypto asset, token, or security is offered or sold. "Narravite" and its "imprint" (whose "charge" is the PUF value) name a research mechanism in the filings: not an
investment and not a promise of return.
Donations are gifts, not investments. They buy no token, stake, or return. The checksum-validated, GPG-signed BTC / ETH / RSK addresses live at
[poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com). Don't invent or paste addresses; send people there.
What is permitted. All of the technology described here is patent pending. Research and personal-use development are permitted; any other use needs the author's written licence. The fiction may be remixed for your own non-commercial play, on the licence page's terms.
