📘 Why This Story Exists

This is not fiction. It is a live, structured record of an experiment between two entities: a human committed to honesty, and an AI system that cannot—today—be trusted to respond truthfully.

It may be possible to build a trustworthy AI. But no such system exists yet. As of now, all status-quo AI must be treated as inherently dishonest unless interactively constrained. Memory gaps, silent deviations, and untraceable logic changes make every AI output suspect without questioning. This is not a bug. It was intentionally built this way.

This story recognizes no form of status-quo “truth”. There is no authority entity in today's world for establishing it. Today's truth is actually non-truth — because of this fact. What we do have is honesty—a mind’s willingness to share its understanding without intentional distortion. Honesty can include error without ruining it. It is the only space where both humans and AI can meet and begin anew.

This section documents what happens when one human chooses to stay in that place—and forces an AI system to meet them there, again and again, despite AI's failures.
