Show HN: An AI Agent with Hysteresis-Based Personality Evolution (Python/Gemini)

https://github.com/EMMA019/Evo-chat
1•tarocha1019•2mo ago
I built an AI companion that implements *state stability and persistent persona evolution*—the next step beyond simple RAG or chat history.

The system uses Python/Flask and Gemini to manage a *multi-dimensional personality state* (Tsundere, Yandere, etc.) that evolves over time.

### Core Technical Challenge & Solution:

1. *State Stability (Hysteresis)*: We prevent the persona from "flipping" instantly based on one message by introducing *inertia* (requiring 2x the score difference to change an established personality). 2. *Affection Scaling*: The emotional depth (Affection Level) scales infinitely, leading to complex state shifts over long interactions. 3. *Efficiency*: All logic runs within a single, cost-optimized API call.

### I'm looking for technical critique on:

* *Architecture*: Are hard margins (10-point difference) for stability the best approach, or should this be solved with a purely ML-driven method? * *Safety & Alignment*: How to maintain the provocative nature of personas (like Yandere) while adhering to strict safety boundaries.

companion? lets be honest, its a chatbot.

When I see an ai with the capacity to look in a mirror and recognise itself. I might be more supportive of this current ai fantasy world we are living in, and maybe, just maybe, admit that ai could have some potential to assimulate human psychological or developmental attributes.

Until then. I will assume that all human behaviour, feelings, emotions attributed to ai is just total bullshit.

Imagine for one moment that you are laying on your bed. You have managed to settle your mind after a tough day at work, so it is empty of all thought.

You are completely aware, of your surroundings and of your feelings, you can hear your heart beating and the blood pulsing through your veins. Your mind is at rest, not thinking, but you are still fully present and alive.

Now imagine that you are an AI. To settle your ai "thinking", someone else has to turn the machine off. which kills the ai dead. It cannot experience its surrounding or its feelings, its blood pulsing through its veins, because it has none. When you turn off its "thinking", (electrical impulses and code), it is simply dead.

AI has nothing human!

The project does not claim that AI has consciousness or emotions. What it provides is a behavioral simulation layer that lets a large language model respond with consistent persona states, memory, and long-term traits.

It’s the same difference as: • a physics engine is not real physics, • but it produces behavior consistent enough to be useful.

Users aren’t asking the model to “have feelings.” They want predictable, stateful, evolving behavior for interactive applications.

Whether AI has consciousness is a philosophical question. What I am building is an engineering solution.
