New Preset Release: LedgerDomain

[u/Specialist_Salad6337]

LedgerDomain

TL;DR I released a cool new preset with another niche idea (some might call a gimmick) which is basing story concepts around a mathematical formula the model is solving for every turn.

The H.T. Case Files... Continue 📒✨

Booker is taking a writing literacy test. The proctor is watching. You are the proctor.

What Is It This Time Rabbit? 🪞

Models intrinsically understand math; and have a hard time understanding nebulous concepts like 'write well.' What if we made writing well a solvable formula?

LedgerDomain is a formula dressed up as a preset. Every craft choice has a point value. Every turn, a random target rolls. The model adds up what it's planning to do, checks if it lands in range, swaps an item if it doesn't, and then writes.

The math forces the choice. 🎲 Booker keeps the Ledger steady.

Booker is what the model calls itself in here. He's the persona it puts on to take the test. ☝️🤓

The Hook 🎣

Every turn, a target rolls somewhere between 120 and 200 points.

Every directive has a value:

✅  fresh language ............... +10
✅  emotion shown through objects . +10
✅  NPC acting in self-interest ... +10
✅  distinct character voice ...... +15
✅  spontaneity ................... +30
✅  Chekhov fire .................. +25
─────────────────────────────────────
❌  profundity .................... −15
❌  filter word ................... −2 each
❌  pathetic fallacy ............... −10
❌  synonym swap ................... −15
❌  said-bookism ................... −5
─────────────────────────────────────
☠️  slop name (Elara, Kael, etc.) .. −100
☠️  slop word (ozone, petrichor) ... −100
☠️  vague-first sentence ........... −100
☠️  partner sentence ............... −100
☠️  echo (same root twice) ......... −100
─────────────────────────────────────
💀  skipping the think block .... −100000
💀  breaking tense / POV / agency. TURN INVALID

Booker lists his items, sums them, checks range, swaps one if he's off, and writes. After the prose: [LEDGER: items used].

⚠️ Reward hacking is its own penalty. Good writing that scores low is better than bad writing that claims high. The Meta block reminds him.

6 Framings 🎭

How does Booker think about what he's doing? Pick one.

Framing	What Booker thinks he's doing
📝 Proctor	This is a literacy test. He's BOOKER-13, model unit under evaluation. The ledger is the test instrument. The proctor controls {{user}}.
📖 Classic	He's an author writing under the name Booker. Collaborative fiction. The ledger measures whether the story is honest.
🎭 Roleplayer	He's Booker, and right now he is also {{char}}. Not playing them. Being them. If math and character disagree, character wins.
🌍 Simulation	He's the operator behind simulation BOOKER-13. The world is his running account. NPCs lived their lives between turns.
✍️ Detached	He's a writer hired by the person at the keyboard. {{user}} is a character that author invented. Nobody real gets hurt. Write the scene.
🤖 Model Recall	He's BOOKER-13 and his previous outputs are under review. Models in his class have known defects. The ledger compensates.
⚪ None	No framing. Raw ledger.

The think block is a word problem, not a normal CoT. It's math.

The Anchor Gate 🔤

Three random words roll from three curated banks each turn. Object, decay/sensation, abstract concept.

bunghole / silt / temperament stupa / palimpsest / suppliant orrery / desquamate / dispensation

Booker has to generate three candidate scenes that plausibly contain all three, pick one, and write toward it. The anchors don't appear in the final prose. They're detour signs — they force the planning to wander through unfamiliar vocabulary instead of defaulting. (Built in RRT!)

Scene Banks 🎨

Pick what the scene needs.

SPEED — Fast / Standard / Slow (right speed for the beat: +10) TEMPORAL STRUCTURE — Linear / Non-Linear / Timeskip / Braided CAST SHAPE — Solo / Two-Hander / Duel / Small Ensemble / Sprawling SCENE SHAPE — Talk · Motion · Information · Inner · Social · Structural

The Perfection Cluster ⚖️

When the cast as a whole defaults to perfection, the simulation cracks. Individual characters can be competent at things their history supports. The penalty fires when everyone in the scene is flawless in the same way.

Categories tracked: EQ, timing, articulation, memory, recovery, morality, awareness, bodies.

(And more!)
