Show HN: ER Intern Simulator Built in 3 Hours via Natural Language Rules

Hi HN,

I built this medical diagnosis simulator (`chat-a-cold.html`) in just 3 hours.

The interesting part is that I didn't "code" the medical logic in Python or C++. Instead, I used a methodology I call *NLCS (Natural Language Constraint System)*.

I simply defined the "thinking structure" of a doctor (Input -> Criteria -> Exception -> Output) in natural language, and the LLM executed it as a game engine.

* *Logic:* Differentiates between Common Cold (90%) and Sinusitis (10%) using hidden variable checks. * *Cost:* Near zero development cost (just prompt engineering + structure design). * *Result:* It simulates an intern's diagnostic process with high accuracy.

The repository includes the full whitepaper (PDF) and the runnable HTML file. I believe this demonstrates that "Cognitive Architecture" is more important than raw knowledge in the AI era.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Of course they did, they are sycophants

They will tell you any idea is a great idea. It has no bearing on the actual "goodness" of an idea

> the LLM executed it as a game engine

Did it? How did you verify?

How do you know it's not just telling you it did something without actually doing it?

The proof is in the repo.
