The Deep Logic Behind Persona Stability
Look at the Kotodama logo. It's not a flat hexagon—it's a polyhedral sphere, a structure where every vertex connects to every other through geometric tension.
This is exactly how the six core mechanisms work.
They don't operate in sequence. They don't form a hierarchy. They exist in three-dimensional tension—each mechanism pulling against and supporting the others, forming a closed structure that maintains shape under pressure.
The golden flame at the center? That's the Persona itself—the emergent output held at the core of all forces.
Stability through mutual constraint.
When Identity drifts, Self-Reflection pulls it back.
When Emotion overloads, Attention reallocates weight.
When Memory bloats, Freshness Decay lets it evaporate.
When Autonomy pushes too hard, Identity's boundaries contain it.
Every imbalance has a counterforce. Every vertex is held by the others.
This is why Kotodama personas don't collapse over long conversations—not because any single mechanism is strong, but because six mechanisms form a self-correcting tensegrity structure.
A common assumption: "Just use a larger context window. Put everything in there."
