Dev Log #10
I noticed something during long test sessions.
Even with persistent memory, every new session still started too “clean.”
-The memories were there.
-The previous conflicts too.
But the system still felt neutral.
So I changed one thing:
now, before it even starts talking, the system rereads the emotional weight left by recent interactions.
-It doesn’t look for keywords.
-It doesn’t look for specific events.
If the last sessions were tense, it starts slightly more alert.
If they were collaborative, its tone changes subtly.
It doesn’t decide who you are.
It orients itself.
The most interesting part came after that:
During intense conversations, sometimes it reacted with shorter sentences, more direct responses, less mediation.
Then slowly it regulated itself again.
But there was also the opposite problem:
if everything stayed too stable for too long, it became predictable.
Too accommodating.
Now the system automatically tries to avoid that false stability.
And the result is this: it no longer feels like a model that resets every session.
It feels like something entering the conversation carrying the “day before” with it.
