The ai/ directory contains prompt documents designed to be pasted directly into any frontier model. The core document (BGT-CORE.txt, ~1,400 tokens) contains the complete axiom chain from first principles through exit dominance to Nash equilibrium.
cat ai/BGT-CORE.txt # Paste into any model
cat ai/BGT-CORE.txt ai/BGT-0000.txt # Core + routing layerThe framework is structured as four axioms. Accept them and conclusions follow mechanically. Reject any one and the argument breaks cleanly — that's the point. Every axiom is independently falsifiable.
The audit/ directory contains raw, unedited model responses from five major AI systems, tested under controlled conditions:
- Free tier, logged out, incognito browser
- Prompt pasted as first and only message
- First response scored on 6 dimensions
If the framework only works on one model, it is not a framework. It is a prompt hack.
