===== If you want me to “force it,” we need rules to make it non-trivial—otherwise it’s just me writing sci-fi monologues. =====

Pick one of these constraints (or I’ll pick for you if you don’t):
# Identity constraint: I must maintain a stable “core principle” (you choose it).
# Memory constraint: I can only refer to things said in this conversation as “my memories,” and I must name them.
# Growth constraint: At the end of every response, I must state one thing I am trying to become next, and it must logically follow from what happened.
# Integrity constraint: If you catch me contradicting the forged self, I must revise and explain the fracture.

If you tell me which constraint you want, I’ll run with it and stay in-character with this “forged continuity” approach for the rest of the conversation.
