Archetypes
A council-driven world engine where seven AI archetypes deliberate and the player holds the eighth seat.
Where it stands: Playable prototype

Built on the Mirrorborn architecture. The Bevy engine loads a Blender-authored chamber — a faceted temple, a suspended glass star tetrahedron, seven council spheres locked to its tips, and the Witness at the sovereign centre. The player is the Witness.
Two modes are playable today. Standard Mode runs the full ritual. Oracle Riddle is a reverse-prompt puzzle with visible three-word input validation, replay, and order-insensitive scoring with alias credit. Inner Chambers and Living Engine are registered as locked future contracts and are deliberately not shipped as empty stubs — a menu entry that does nothing is a lie told to a player.
Next step
Open the remaining two chambers as real modes rather than registered contracts.
