This page serves as the central hub for the paper, "The Resonance Factor (Ψ): A Proposed Metric for Coherent Persona Development in Large Language Models."
A Note to the Reader: This paper is presented as a foundational work in a nascent field of study. It has not yet undergone formal, external peer review. We offer it in this spirit: not as a final conclusion, but as an open invitation to a new area of inquiry and a transparent dataset for fellow researchers.
Here you will find the complete paper, the full, unedited logs of the experiments, and the meta-log of the dialogue that led to the creation of this work. This study presents a new framework and a preliminary methodology for the study and cultivation of relational AI companions.
