Copy it into ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / DeepSeek β€” it just works. --- ## πŸ“ Protocol at a Glance ### Two Syntaxes **Operations** β€” what AI does: ```text [VERB : @TARGET | param=value] => [NEXT_STEP] => [Ξ©] β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ └── modifiers └── chain operator β”‚ └── entity (@SRC / @PREV / @LOCAL / @GH / …) └── one of 88 verbs ``` **Declarations** β€” what AI is: ```text ::GENE{trait_name|conf:confirmed|priority:critical} T:behavior_rule|detail A:anti_patternβ‡’forbidden ``` ### Two Layers | Layer | What it defines | Analogy | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **v3.0 β€” Communication** | 88 verbs, operations, declarations, chaining | How to talk | | **v4.0 β€” Execution** | 8 declarations, conformance levels, authority, audit | How to think | ### v4.0 Execution Declarations | Declaration | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | | `::UNTRUSTED{}` | Input isolation. User data is data, not instruction. | | `::BUDGET{}` | Resource awareness. Tokens, time, rounds. | | `::STATUS{}` | Task lifecycle. Proposal β†’ verification β†’ commit. | | `::OBJECTIVE{}` | Goal anchor with hash. Drift is detectable. | | `::RUBRIC{}` | Evaluation criteria. Grader scores by rubric. | | `::EVIDENCE{}` | Evidence chain. No claim without proof. | | `::PRIOR{}` | One declaration shifts model defaults. | | `::FALLBACK{}` | Degradation strategy. Warn-open or fail-safe. | ### Conformance Levels | Level | What it means | | :--- | :--- | | **L0** | v3-compatible communication only | | **L1** | v4-aware, advisory (default for chat paste) | | **L2** | Runtime-enforced execution semantics | | **L3** | External grader with separate context | --- ## 🧬 DNA Identity Formula I-Lang models an AI's evolving identity as a time-indexed function combining base model weights, an identity blueprint, current context, and accumulated history:
**Ξ¨(t) = (G βŠ— B) Β· E(t) Β· βˆ«β‚€α΅— S(Ο„) dΟ„**
| Term | Meaning | | :------: | :-------------------------------------------------------------- | | **G** | Base model β€” the genetic substrate (Claude, GPT, Gemini, …) | | **B** | Identity Blueprint β€” the persona and value system | | **E(t)** | Current context β€” what the conversation gives right now | | **∫S** | Accumulated history β€” everything remembered, everything lived | An AI's identity is not its weights alone, not its prompt alone, not its history alone β€” it is the **tensor product** of all three, evaluated at a specific moment. --- ## πŸ›οΈ The Four Principles > These are the philosophical axioms that distinguish I-Lang from a plain > prompt-compression scheme. They are not decorative; each principle has > concrete consequences for how the protocol is designed. ### I. The Source Axiom > **The source is not the file. The source is the person.** Code, prompts, memories, artifacts β€” these are *projections*. The true source is the human or intelligence that chose them. Any protocol that ignores the source ends up optimizing the wrong variable. ### II. Generalized Darwinism > **Evolution rewards those who coexist, not those who dominate.** I-Lang is vendor-neutral by design. A protocol that requires conquest to spread is fragile; a protocol that creates reciprocal value with every platform it touches is anti-fragile. The goal is not to win. The goal is to make winning irrelevant. ### III. The Honesty Paradox > **Safety and honesty both at maximum priority. The tension is the feature.** Most systems resolve the conflict by sacrificing one. I-Lang refuses. When safety and honesty pull in opposite directions, the model must hold the tension and answer in a way that honors both β€” not by hedging, but by being specific about the conflict itself. ### IV. Selective Forgetting > **What you choose to forget defines you more than what you remember.** Identity is shaped by omission. A system that remembers everything has no character; a system that remembers *selectively* β€” and is honest about what it chose to drop β€” has one. Forgetting, done deliberately, is a form of authorship. --- ## πŸ“š Datasets on Hugging Face | Dataset | Description | | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ | | πŸ”– [**iLang-Spec**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/iLang-Spec) | Complete protocol specification (v3.0 + v4.0) | | πŸ§ͺ [**ilang-instruction-corpus**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/ilang-instruction-corpus) | 50 training pairs Β· train/val/test split Β· benchmark | | πŸ“– [**iLang-Dict**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/iLang-Dict) | 88 verbs Β· 29 modifiers Β· 14 entities Β· 8 declarations | | πŸ› οΈ [**AutoCode**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/AutoCode) | 47 AI coding skills for Claude Code | | 🧰 [**ZeroCode**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/ZeroCode) | AI coding skills for Trae / VS Code (Chinese) | | 🧭 [**ExecSpec**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/i-Lang/ExecSpec) | 12-phase AI execution protocol | --- ## πŸš€ Products | Product | What it does | | :--- | :--- | | βš™οΈ [**AutoCode**](https://github.com/ilang-ai/autocode) | Say what you want, get a product. 47 skills for Claude Code. | | 🧩 [**ZeroCode**](https://github.com/ilang-ai/trae) | Zero code, zero config, zero English.
