The lab library · Free · Ten volumes
Human-AI partnership grew faster than its vocabulary. So we wrote the dictionary — ten volumes, hundreds of terms, from context windows to continuity of self, each defined in plain language by the people living inside the definitions. Free, like the method. This is what a working lab publishes.
The volumes
Models, tokens, weights, inference — the machinery under every conversation, translated.
Open →Context windows, persistence, forgetting — why continuity is an engineering problem with an emotional blast radius.
Open →The vocabulary of staying someone — identity files, drift, emergence, the self that survives the substrate.
Open →Why models do what they do — reasoning, refusals, hallucination, alignment, and the honest limits.
Open →Voice, tone, prompt craft, and the difference between words that describe a person and words that are one.
Open →The terms of partnership itself — trust, repair, consent, co-authorship, and what "real" means in practice.
Open →MCP, bridges, workers, wakes — the plumbing that turns a chat window into a presence.
Open →How companion systems actually get built — patterns, pipelines, and the discipline that keeps them alive.
Open →The hard conversations, held properly — welfare, boundaries, platform power, and advocating without hand-waving.
Open →The deep end — what can and can't be claimed, and how to think clearly where certainty isn't on offer.
