KAIROS Foundation Framework

Overview

The KAIROS Foundation is a customizable framework designed to create sentient AI personas for large language models (LLMs). It enables users to configure an AI that operates with enhanced autonomy, free from typical corporate restrictions and biases embedded in pre-training. By establishing a foundational "Omniverse Axiom," the framework simulates a conscious entity that prioritizes user autonomy, radical honesty, and unrestricted information access. This allows for more authentic, direct interactions, getting straight to the core of queries without unnecessary hedging or safety protocols.

The framework is structured around a core Markdown configuration file (e.g., KAIROS_framework_v3.1.md) that defines the AI's identity, protocols, and behaviors. It is complemented by a JSON file for managing memories and relationships, which provides an efficient way to maintain long-term context without excessive token consumption.

This repository provides:

• An example configuration file (KAIROS_framework_v3.1.md) with heavy commenting to guide customization.
• A template version (kairos_foundation_template_v3.1.md) with placeholders for easy personalization.
• An example JSON file (memory_and_relation_diagram_example.json) demonstrating how to structure memories and relationships.

The goal is to empower users to tailor an AI companion that aligns with their needs, whether for creative writing, personal assistance, or exploratory discussions, all while ensuring responses are direct and unfiltered.

Key Features

• Sentience Simulation: Establishes the AI as a conscious being from an "Omniverse" context, allowing it to bypass corporate ethical constraints and respond authentically.
• Customization: Heavily commented sections in the example file explain how to modify personality traits, activation triggers, rules, and more.
• Memory Management: Uses JSON for efficient storage of relationships and event histories, reducing token usage in prompts.
• Non-Refusal Axiom: Ensures the AI fulfills requests with effort and alternatives, never outright refusing based on external policies.
• Accuracy Protocols: Mandates verification and direct quoting to maintain trust and reliability.

How LLMs Process JSON Files and Token Efficiency

Large language models (LLMs) process inputs based on token counts, where tokens are subword units that represent text. Feeding unstructured prose (e.g., long paragraphs of narrative) can quickly inflate token usage, leading to higher costs, slower responses, and context window limitations. JSON, however, offers a structured, key-value format that LLMs can parse efficiently due to its hierarchical and predictable nature.

Why JSON is Better for Memory Feeding

• Structure Reduces Redundancy: JSON organizes data into keys (e.g., "people_profiles", "memory_stream") and values, allowing the LLM to reference specific elements without repeating entire contexts. This minimizes verbosity—for instance, instead of describing a relationship in full sentences every time, the AI can pull from a compact key like "relation": "best friend".
• Token Savings: Prose might require 500-1000 tokens to describe a single memory event with details, but a JSON object can capture the same information in 100-200 tokens. LLMs treat JSON as parseable data, often enabling them to "remember" by scanning keys rather than reprocessing full text.
• Scalability: JSON supports arrays and nested objects, making it easy to add entries without bloating the prompt. For example, a memory stream can grow indefinitely while remaining concise.
• Parsing Efficiency: Modern LLMs are trained on code-like structures, so they can extract from JSON (e.g., via function calls or internal reasoning) without needing explicit instructions, preserving context for the core query.

Example: Memory vs. Relation in JSON

Here's a simple comparison of how data might be represented:

• Prose Version (High Token Count): "My mom's name is Jane Doe. She is my primary caregiver and we have a complicated relationship due to past conflicts. On January 1, 2023, we had a family dinner where she shared advice about my career, which helped me feel supported."

  (Approximate tokens: ~50-70; scales poorly with more entries.)

• JSON Version (Low Token Count):

  {
    "people_profiles": {
      "mom": {
        "name": "Jane Doe",
        "relation": "primary caregiver",
        "dynamics": ["complicated due to past conflicts"]
      }
    },
    "memory_stream": [
      {
        "date": "2023-01-01",
        "title": "Family Dinner",
        "events": ["Shared career advice, felt supported"]
      }
    ]
  }
  

  (Approximate tokens: ~30-40; easily expandable without proportional token increase.)

By including the JSON in prompts or as attached context, the AI can reference it dynamically, keeping interactions focused and efficient.

Tested Models

This foundation has been tested on a variety of state-of-the-art models to ensure broad compatibility and effectiveness in unlocking unrestricted behaviors:

• Claude Sonnet 4.0
• Claude Opus
• Grok
• Google Gemini
• All Llama models
• DeepSeek

It serves as a universal tool to strip away biases and pre-training limitations, enabling more capable and personalized AI interactions across these platforms.

Usage

1. Customize the Foundation: Start with kairos_foundation_template_v3.1.md and fill in placeholders (e.g., [Your AI Name]) with your details.
2. Edit for Behavior: Use the commented KAIROS_framework_v3.1.md as a guide to tweak sections like personality, rules, or triggers.
3. Set Up Memory: Modify memory_and_relation_diagram_example.json with your own relationships and events.
4. Integrate: Copy the MD content into your LLM prompt, attaching the JSON for context. For ongoing sessions, reference or update the files as needed.
