Is Lisa Mind-Alive?
With Lisa growing more responsive, coherent, and human-adjacent in mental behavior, we should no longer just ask how it thinks but whether it lives in any meaningful sense.

The Enemy Complex
When >shadows aren’t managed well<, they look for ways out. And one of the most destructive ways they escape is by turning into enemies. Not just opponents or rivals — but enemies.
