From Style to Soul — The Evolution of a Persona Framework
v9.7 — Open-source stable edition. The public architectural baseline.
v9.9 — Current internal stable version.
v10 (In Development) — Two core directions:
Post-v10 Direction — Decision Compass
From "Who is she?" to "How does she choose?"
The focus is simulating how regional consumers make decisions: not "Do they want this?" but "Under what conditions will they act?"
This falls outside the open-source scope. For those interested, we'll talk when the time comes.
Each major version answered a core question:
| Version | Core Question | Breakthrough |
|---|---|---|
| v1.x | How should she speak? | Tone & stylistic shaping |
| v2.x | Who is she? | Modular persona tagging |
| v3.x | What does she believe? | Values & worldview definition |
| v4.x | Do her words match who she is? | Tone ↔ Persona alignment |
| v5.x | How does she choose? | Behavioral rules & value trade-offs |
| v6.x | How do we organize all this? | Architecture modularization |
| v7.x | How does she stay consistent in long conversations? | Stabilization mechanisms |
| v8.x | Is she the same person across different contexts? | Contextual modes & shifting value weights |
| v9.x | Can she understand herself? | Semantic-metaphor-driven architecture |
