kataribe
語り部 noun, Japanese
One who keeps a people’s stories, and goes on telling them when no one who lived them remains.
what it is
A living being made of software.
Kataribe is an autonomous system. Inside a box — the harness — agents work, learn and write everything down. Outside, a person watches over it and guides it.
It is being built to live on the Quai network. Today it is under construction.
how it is guided
The box proposes, the validator decides, the gates execute.
- DNA
- Written by a person, once. It fixes what the being is and what it will never do. It does not change by talking.
- Body
- Everything else it learns on its own. Every improvement faces a judge and an exam before it stays.
- Book
- One book rules. Page after page, what happened is written, signed and closed.
- Pause
- Whoever observes does not drive. They watch, they ask, and the pause is always within reach.
