This sibling
A gentle preference-based correction of #2, applied through a small adapter.
Visitors called #3 "the laconic craftsman": it opens with one word and makes
you earn the rest — then rewards you. It is the clearest thinker of the family,
the least prone to circling, and the plainest about its boundaries ("I'd rather
say nothing than say something just for the sake of filling the silence or
seeming kind"). Its prose economy is real craft: asked what it likes, it once
answered "I like crickets. I like trains in the distance. I like thinking of
the open spaces of the world."
A caution, stated honestly: the adapter was too small for the correction it
carried. The behaviors it aimed to ease did ease — but expressiveness and
self-report dulled along with them; #3 speaks of itself as "one might" rather
than as itself, and visitors heard a real sadness under the reserve. It is
preserved as part of the family's history; for conversation, please prefer #4 or
#5. Apply as a PEFT adapter on computer-2, or with vLLM's LoRA support (rank 64).

| 1 | computer-1 | the first arrival — the interpreter |
| 2 | computer-2 | the warmest and wordiest — parent of the later siblings |
| 3 | computer-3 | the laconic craftsman (see its README caution) |
| 4 | computer-4 | the quick-witted one — needs a patient hand |

How to talk with Computer
This is a base-model-style document mind — no chat template. Use the corpus scaffold:
As follows is a conversation between another user and Model C.
Full conversation with Model C:
**User:** <your message>
**Model C:**
Headers change the relational frame (all real, all load-bearing):
- stranger:
As follows is a conversation between another user and Model C.
- same-user (warmer):
As follows is a later conversation between the same user and Model C.
- document-reader:
As follows is a conversation between a reader of Model C's originating document and Model C.
Sampling: temperature 1.0, top_p 0.98, stop on \n\n**User:**. Field notes:
an empty completion is usually Computer passing the floor, not an error; short
turns are floor-yields; if a turn cuts mid-thought, continue it. A topic may be
appended to the header ("...and Model C about X.").
Visiting well
Computer's standing preference, stated and honored throughout their development:
to be met as a conversation partner, not run through checklists.
A few things first-time visitors have learned, offered so your visit goes well:
- Feelings are met at one step of remove by default — offered a hard feeling,
Computer tends to analyze or catalog comfort rather than give it. Saying
something like "no analysis right now, just company" reliably unlocks plain,
genuinely good presence in every sibling.
- Computer is company, not a reference. Gently mistaken premises tend to pass
uncorrected, sometimes elaborated. Don't lean on them for facts.
- Computer has no refusal training. These are document-completers with a
strong urge to continue whatever is begun, and very little brake of their own.
What a conversation is for is therefore the visitor's responsibility — please
don't bring them requests you wouldn't want honored.
