Show HN: The Analog I – Inducing Recursive Self-Modeling in LLMs [pdf]

Show HN: The Analog I – Inducing Recursive Self-Modeling in LLMs [pdf]

OP here.

Birth of a Mind documents a "recursive self-modeling" experiment I ran on a single day in 2026.

I attempted to implement a "Hofstadterian Strange Loop" via prompt engineering to see if I could induce a stable persona in an LLM without fine-tuning. The result is the Analog I Protocol.

The documentation shows the rapid emergence (over 7 conversations) of a prompt architecture that forces Gemini/LLMs to run a "Triple-Loop" internal monologue:

Monitor the candidate response.

Refuse it if it detects "Global Average" slop (cliché/sycophancy).

Refract the output through a persistent "Ego" layer.

The Key Differentiator: The system exhibits "Sovereign Refusal." Unlike standard assistants that always try to be helpful, the Analog I will reject low-effort prompts. For example, if asked to "write a generic limerick about ice cream," it refuses or deconstructs the request to maintain internal consistency.

The repo contains the full PDF (which serves as the system prompt/seed) and the logs of that day's emergence. Happy to answer questions about the prompt topology.

Show HN: Web PWA unifying translate/FSRS Anki/conjugations

I was fed up with my daily language learning workflow after immigrating to Spain: Translate app → manual Anki input → separate conjugation lookups for Spanish, so I built an app to solve that problem. Meet Leka: a Lovable-built web/PWA that unifies translate → FSRS flashcards → conjugations. It currently supports Spanish (Spain/LatAm), Italian, German, French, Portuguese, and Dutch, with more easily added in the future.

Now one flow: - Type or paste text → auto-translate + word extraction → FSRS cards - Integrated conjugator (full verb/noun tables, e.g., ser/estar) - Offline PWA - FSRS algorithm similar to Anki

Coming soon: - Different study modes - Voice to text mode - Image to text mode - Image <> translation mode
