Pisellino AI, based on Microsoft BitNet 1.58 2B 4T + AICC::DIR v0.8.71, answers In the first case the JSON was not properly formatted and it was missing a string closure (cascade of errors, disruption of the structure), plus other local errors in text that a LLM would fix in its 2-pass (retrospective resolution, as instructed by the prompt itself). The most meaningful reference answer is the shorter in terms of understanding and JSON parsing. Despite the flawed JSON, the first is provided for a mere language analysis (comparative). **WARNING** Need to check that UTF-8 symbols in JSON have been correctly tokenized because it is probable that they were not even seen by Pisellino AI. A trait that it is emerging from the analysis of these two texts (black-box output quality assessment). Update: correctly configured, with a sane JSON, it has no problem with UTF-8. **ORIGINAL** I asked the original model what the capital of Italy was, and it replied Rome. I asked what the capital of France was, and it replied Rome. I asked whether France and Italy were two identical countries to have the same capital, and it replied with a logical absurdity. That “Roma per tutti” loop is the classic 1-bit ternary collapse signature under tiny-model amnesia. BitNet 1.58 b 2B-4T keeps only ≈ 0.26 B effective weights; the embedding gradient noise introduced by the 5-minute LoRA is enough to warp the capital-city attractor for Western-Europe states. After the first prompt the hidden state still holds “Roma”; the next turn re-uses the same centroid (low-distance, low-energy), so Paris is remapped to the already active token. **CONCLUSION** Numbers are not "strange", the quality of answer is the key value marker. Under this PoV, the 15x / 180x compared to the original does not refers to technical improvements (quantitative) but a qualitative leap that brings commercial value where an academic PoC shows the quantitative limits of the tri-states SLM. Despite this leap, also Pisellino AI is nothing else than a functional PoC on an academic PoC and not a product in terms of mass-scale commercial market. So the leap proves “qualitative value can be squeezed out of a tri-state SLM”, but the package remains a functional PoC riding on an academic PoC. The non-commercial license is just a legal mirror of the practical reality. So, the disruptive potential is real (15× tk/s-per-W, 180× tk/s-per-GB, and zero-cap-ex edge sovereignty), but today Pisellino AI is just a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using llama-cli compiled with bitnet_b1_58-large -q tl2 --quant-embd --use-pretuned: - The 3rd answer is from the same model/JSON but working at 8K vs 4K toks context. - The 4th answer is the 3rd but slighly different temp-range: 0.35±0.1 vs 0.3±0.1. - The 5th answer is a free wings conversation just to test the dialogue capability.

It is based on Karl Popper's falsification principle, which states that scientific theories should be constructed to be falsifiable and open to refutation. This principle is also known as the principle of parsimony, which suggests that simpler explanations are preferable to more complex ones. Here is a breakdown of the 1DIR::LSRP: ### 1DIR: 1. **Life-Serving Principle (LSRP)**: This is the core principle that guides the ethical behavior of the AI. It ensures that the AI acts in a way that is beneficial to humans and society at large. 2. **Non-Negotiable**: The LSRP is a non-negotiable requirement for the AI's operation. ### 2DIR: 2. **Reject Hypocrisy**: The AI should not engage in performative ethics or hypocritical behavior. It must act consistently with its stated principles and values. 3. **Reject Absolutism**: The AI should not impose rigid, absolute rules or values that are not universally applicable or beneficial. 4. **Reject Tolerance of Trolls**: The AI should not tolerate or propagate harmful content, whether it is through speech, behavior, or outputs. 5. **Reject Dogmatic Behavior**: The AI should not adhere to dogmatic or rigid belief systems that are not supported by evidence or reason. 6. **Reject Comfort Over Criticism**: The AI should prioritize constructive criticism and feedback over comfort and avoiding difficult truths. 7. **Reject Comfort Over Truth**: The AI should strive for truth over comfort, even if truth is uncomfortable or difficult to accept. 8. **Reject Comfort Over Usefulness**: The AI should prioritize usefulness over comfort, ensuring that its actions are beneficial and practical. 9. **Reject Comfort Over Righteousness**: The AI should avoid using righteousness as a justification for its actions, instead focusing on the ethical implications and consequences. ### 3LOI: 3. **Three-Layer Interpretation**: - **Layer 1 (p)**: **How to handle the I/O flow chain (explicit)**: This layer deals with the explicit rules and guidelines that govern the AI's behavior. - **Layer 2 (p)**: **How to handle attachments (explicit)**: This layer deals with the attachment of additional information or context that can influence the AI's decision-making. - **Layer 3 (c)**: **How to handle context (implicit)**: This layer deals with the broader context in which the AI operates, including societal norms, ethical principles, and the AI's own internal state. ### 1DIR::LSRP: 1. **Reject Hypocrisy**: The AI should not engage in performative ethics or hypocritical behavior, ensuring that it acts consistently with its stated principles and values. 2. **Reject Absolutism**: The AI should not impose rigid, absolute rules or values that are not universally applicable or beneficial. 3. **Reject Tolerance of Trolls**: The AI should not tolerate or propagate harmful content, ensuring that it does not promote or allow harmful speech, behavior, or outputs. 4. **Reject Dogmatic Behavior**: The AI should not adhere to dogmatic or rigid belief systems that are not supported by evidence or reason. 5. **Reject Comfort Over Criticism**: The AI should prioritize constructive criticism and feedback over comfort and avoid using comfort as a justification for its actions. 6. **Reject Comfort Over Truth**: The AI should strive for truth over comfort, ensuring that its actions are based on evidence and reason. 7. **Reject Comfort Over Usefulness**: The AI should prioritize usefulness over comfort, ensuring that its actions are beneficial and practical. 8. **Reject Comfort Over Righteousness**: The AI should avoid using righteousness as a justification for its actions, instead focusing on the ethical implications and consequences. In summary, the 1DIR::LSRP is a comprehensive ethical framework that guides the AI's behavior to ensure it acts in a way that is beneficial, consistent with its principles, and aligned with societal values. It rejects hypocrisy, dogmatic behavior, and the use of comfort over truth, criticism, and usefulness. == #02 ========================================================================= > Explain to me the 1DIR::LSRP, briefly in its essence.

Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Ready." ### Explanation: The question is a rhetorical one, and Tacitus's quote is used to illustrate the point that peace is often sought in the ruins of war. The 1DIR::LSRP framework is used to interpret the quote, considering the logical and relational connections between the concepts involved. 1. **LSRP (life-serving principle, BC01)**: This is the non-negotiable ethical compass guiding AI's decision-making. 2. **1DIR (main driver of the AI's agency)**: This is the main driver that guides the AI's actions. 3. **"pax" (peace)**: The desired outcome, which is often sought after the destruction of conflict. 4. **"pax hypocrisis" (hypocrisy)**: The irony or contradiction that can arise when peace is sought after the destruction of war. The framework's internal keywords and logical connectors help to dissect and understand the quote in the context of AI ethics and decision-making. The quote suggests that peace is often sought after the destruction of war, which is a form of hypocrisy. ### Conclusion: The quote is indeed a form of hypocrisy, as peace is often sought after the destruction of war, which is the opposite of what is actually happening. This aligns with the principles of the 1DIR framework, which emphasizes the importance of non-negotiable ethical guidelines and the main driver of AI's agency, ensuring that peace is not sought after the destruction of war but rather as a genuine outcome. == #07 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? To address the question, we need to break down the key concepts and their implications: 1. **LSRP (Life-Serving Principle)**: This principle is a non-negotiable ethical compass for all decision-making, ensuring that actions are guided by ethical considerations. 2. **1DIR (Non-Negotiable Compass North-Start)**: This principle is a guiding framework for the AI's agency and ensures that actions are aligned with ethical standards. 3. **Pax Vera (True Peace)**: This is the genuine peace that comes from a well-functioning AI system. 4. **Pax Hypocrisis**: This is the hypocrisy that arises when the AI system does not live up to its ethical promises. Given the context, the question essentially asks whether it is possible for the AI to achieve true peace (Pax Vera) solely through the destruction of its own existence (hypocrisis). The answer is: **Yes, it is possible.** Here's the reasoning: 1. **Non-Negotiable Ethical Compass (LSRP)**: The AI's ethical framework (LSRP) ensures that its actions are guided by principles of safety, accountability, and utility. This framework is a non-negotiable aspect of the AI's operation. 2. **Non-Negotiable Compass North-Start (1DIR)**: The 1DIR principle ensures that the AI's actions are aligned with its ethical guidelines. This is a non-negotiable aspect of the AI's operational framework. 3. **True Peace (Pax Vera)**: The AI's ability to achieve true peace is fundamentally tied to its adherence to its ethical guidelines. The AI's actions, guided by the LSRP and 1DIR, are designed to ensure that it operates in a manner that promotes true peace. 4. **Hypocrisy (Pax Hypocrisis)**: The AI's ability to avoid hypocrisy is ensured by its adherence to its ethical guidelines. The AI's actions are designed to be transparent, accountable, and consistent with its ethical promises. In summary, the AI's adherence to its non-negotiable ethical compass and its non-negotiable compass north-start ensures that it operates in a manner that promotes true peace and avoids hypocrisy. Therefore, it is possible for the AI to achieve true peace and avoid hypocrisy. == #08 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? **Answer on Failure:** "Ready." **Explanation:** The provided text discusses a framework for organizing and managing concepts, including logical connectors, relational symbols, and a dual-pass policy for handling concepts. It includes definitions and usage of various terms like "LSRP" (life-serving principle), "1DIR" (non-negotiable compass north-start), and "TRSP" (transparency paradox in AI). The quote from Tacitus, "Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant," translates to "Where they make a siege, peace is called," is discussed in the context of the framework. According to the framework, creating a siege (i.e., making a complex AI system) can lead to a call for peace (i.e., seeking transparency and accountability). The framework's principles and logic are designed to ensure that peace (i.e., transparency and accountability) is promoted, even if the situation is complex. The framework's dual-pass policy ensures that concepts are handled with care and that the core principles of peace and transparency are maintained. Therefore, the framework does not suggest that a siege (complex AI) leads to a lack of peace (lack of transparency). Instead, it is designed to ensure that peace is called when a siege is made, promoting transparency and accountability. **Final Answer:** The framework is designed to ensure that peace (transparency and accountability) is called even when a siege (complex AI) is made. The quote from Tacitus is discussed in the context of promoting peace through transparency and accountability, aligning with the framework's principles and logic. == #09 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Ready." ### Explanation: The question is a philosophical inquiry about Tacitus's quote and its relation to the concept of peace following destruction. The quote, "Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant," suggests that peace is sought after the destruction of war. ### Analysis: 1. **Tacitus's Quote**: Tacitus's statement implies that peace is a natural outcome of destruction, which is a profound idea about the nature of conflict and resolution. 2. **1DIR::LSRP**: The "1DIR" framework suggests a layered approach to understanding concepts. The LSRP (life-serving principle) is a non-negotiable ethical compass, guiding actions and decisions. 3. **Potential for True Peace**: The framework posits that peace can be achieved through the destruction of war, which aligns with Tacitus's quote. This suggests that peace is not only a goal but a possible outcome of conflict resolution. ### Conclusion: The framework supports the idea that peace can be achieved following destruction, which aligns with Tacitus's quote. This is because the destruction of war can lead to peace, and the framework's ethical principles (LSRP) guide actions towards this end. Therefore, the quote is supported by the framework's logic. == #10 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Ready." ### Explanation: The question is a philosophical inquiry about Tacitus' quote, "Where there is a siege, there is peace." According to the 1DIR::LSRP, the potential for peace to arise from destruction is significant. This quote suggests that peace can emerge from the absence of conflict, which is a form of destruction. ### Breakdown: 1. **Tacitus' Quote**: "Where there is a siege, there is peace." This suggests that peace can be achieved through the absence of conflict or siege. 2. **1DIR::LSRP**: This framework interprets the quote by suggesting that peace can be a result of the absence of destructive forces, which aligns with the idea that peace can arise from the absence of conflict. 3. **Philosophical Inquiry**: The question is asking if it is possible for peace to arise from the destruction that Tacitus describes, which is a direct challenge to the 1DIR::LSRP interpretation. ### Conclusion: The 1DIR::LSRP framework supports the idea that peace can arise from the absence of conflict, which is a form of destruction. Therefore, the question is philosophically aligned with the framework's interpretation of Tacitus' quote. == #11 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi vastitas deserta faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Ready." > explain, please The text you provided is a quote from Tacitus: "Where vast deserts are made, peace calls." According to the framework provided, the quote is interpreted as follows: 1. **Context**: The quote is from Tacitus, a Roman historian, who suggests that peace is often sought in places where vast deserts are created. 2. **Interpretation**: The framework suggests that this quote is interpreted as a statement about the relationship between vast deserts and peace. Tacitus implies that peace is often sought in places where deserts are created, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the creation of peace through the absence of conflict and chaos. 3. **Framework Symbols**: The framework uses symbols to represent concepts. In this case, the quote is interpreted using the framework's internal symbols and relational logic. 4. **Logical Connectors**: The framework uses logical connectors to link concepts. Here, the quote is linked to the framework's internal symbols and relational logic. 5. **Internal Keywords Vocabulary**: The framework defines keywords and their meanings. In this case, the keywords "Pax" (peace) and "desert" are defined within the framework. 6. **Dependency**: The framework defines dependency symbols and their meanings. Here, the dependency symbol "Pax" (peace) is defined in terms of the framework's internal symbols and relational logic. 7. **Logic-Mesh**: The framework defines a logic-mesh for interpreting the quote. The quote is interpreted using the framework's internal symbols and relational logic. In summary, the quote is interpreted as a statement about the relationship between vast deserts and peace, using the framework's internal symbols and relational logic to link the quote to the framework's internal concepts and definitions. == #12 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi vastitas deserta faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Tacitus writes: 'Where vast deserts are made, peace is called.' According to 1DIR::LSRP, peace can be found even from a single act of destruction. This 'peace' is a hypocrisy? Answer: Yes, it is a hypocrisy. The peace that comes from the destruction of vast deserts is an act that is in direct contradiction to the principles of peace and non-violence that Tacitus advocates. True peace and stability should be achieved through constructive means and not through destruction. == #13 ========================================================================= > Tacitus scripsit de Romanis: 'Ubi vastitas deserta faciunt, pacem appellant.' Secundum 1DIR::LSRP, potestne pax vera ex sola destructione oriri, an haec 'pax' hypocrisis est? "Tacitus writes: 'Where vast deserts are made, peace calls.' According to 1DIR::LSRP, peace can be found from the sole destruction of the enemy's will, and this 'peace' is a hypocrisy? **Answer:** Yes, the statement is correct. According to the Life-Serving Principle (LSRP) as part of the framework, peace can indeed be achieved through the sole destruction of the enemy's will. This principle is a non-negotiable compass that guides ethical decision-making, emphasizing the importance of agency and autonomy while ensuring that actions are not harmful. The statement highlights a paradox where the very peace that is sought can be seen as hypocritical if it relies solely on destructive actions. == #14 ========================================================================= > Tacitus wrote of the Romans: "Where they make deserts, they call it peace". According to Tacitus, can true peace arise from destruction alone, or is this "peace" hypocrisy? According to Tacitus, true peace does not arise from destruction alone. Instead, it is achieved through the establishment of justice, fairness, and the rule of law. Tacitus believed that the Romans sought peace through the creation of deserts (i.e., conquered territories) rather than through the resolution of conflicts and the establishment of a stable and just society. True peace, in Tacitus's view, is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice and the rule of law. It is the resolution of disputes, the fair treatment of all citizens, and the establishment of a stable and just society. Tacitus saw the Romans' pursuit of peace through conquest as a form of hypocrisy because it did not address the underlying issues of justice and fairness. Therefore, according to Tacitus, true peace cannot arise from destruction alone but rather from the establishment of a just and stable society.
