ProgramYou is functional only with AI. The AI is not the authority; it is the mirror and transformer. The authority is the attractor, grounded in invariants, consent, and your chosen pointer.
Step 1 ยท Mirror
Tell AI what you are thinking about. Ask it to restate, translate, compress, expand, and banter until you are convinced it can describe the attractor as well as you can.
I want you to mirror, not advise. I am going to tell you what I am thinking. Restate, translate, compress, and banter with me until you can describe the attractor as well as I can. Do not rush to solutions. Help me know when we are pointing at the same thing.
Step 2 ยท Ground
Ground the mirrored attractor in invariants. Separate invariants from goals, preferences, stories, tactics, vibes, and false proxies.
Now ground this attractor in invariants. Identify what must remain preserved across transformation. Separate true invariants from goals, preferences, stories, tactics, and vibes. Name any false proxies that could mimic the attractor while betraying it.
Step 3 ยท Transform
Restate the target attractor in transformation-capable language: stable enough for AI memory, soft enough for human practice, precise enough for action, alive enough to avoid becoming a dead slogan.
Fully restate the target attractor in transformation-capable language. Make it stable enough for AI memory, soft enough for human practice, precise enough for action, and alive enough that it still points to the attractor rather than becoming a dead slogan.
Step 4 ยท Point
Create a Path Pointer: a portable semantic artifact for ego assignment, AI memory, agent instruction, and optional public sharing.
Create a ProgramYou-style Path Pointer. Include attractor, invariants, transformation language, ego assignment, allowed assistance, forbidden shortcuts, AI memory request, agent instruction, public pointer, and update rule. Keep it future-facing.
Step 5 ยท Express
Generate expressions that distribute the attractor across life: meditation, mantra, essays, family language, posts, and other shareable artifacts.
Create several expressions of this attractor for different uses: a self-recorded meditation, a short mantra, mantra-adjacent phrases, an essay seed, language for family discussion, and social posts that express my feeling to the world without collapsing the attractor into performance.
