TypeScript / one public AI mind with a 1,000-token memory / Sep 2026 - Present / doxomachy.flcrom.dev

Built and launched a shared AI memory capped at 1,000 tokens: visitors add beliefs and shield them with credits, and the weakest belief is evicted when memory fills; a diary is written daily from whatever survives.

Injection defenses treat every belief as quoted text, never instructions.
