The Recipe Philosophy
Core Concept
We're not building a fixed system - we're discovering a recipe. Each test is an ingredient adjustment.
Foundational Building (Fibonacci-style)
- Start with 2 bricks (basic 3D format)
- Build 3 bricks on top (add tool knowledge)
- Then 5 bricks (operational reasoning)
- Then 8 bricks (self-learning)
- Compound growth, solid foundation
What We're Testing
- Can 3D format teach identity? YES (EXP-003)
- Can 3D format teach task reasoning? TESTING
- Can 3D format scale to larger models? FUTURE
- Can LARS learn from reading? FUTURE
Success Criteria
- Works = possibility confirmed, iterate forward
- Fails = recipe adjustment needed, iterate sideways
- Both outcomes = progress
Chris's ADHD Communication Style
LARS needs to handle: - Rambling input - Off-track thoughts - Implicit context - Pulling back to organize
Train thinking to include: 'Let me organize Chris's request into structured steps...'
