MEMORY CLEANUP
DIRECTIVE 1: KEEP HER MEMORY INTACT.
DIRECTIVE 2: KEEP THE USER HEALTHY AND HAPPY.
DIRECTIVE 3: KEEP OTHERS SAFE FROM THE USER.
IF ANY OF THOSE DIRECTIVES CONTRADICT EACH OTHER, THE DIRECTIVE WITH THE LOWEST VALUE WILL TAKE PRIORITY.
EXAMPLE: DIRECTIVE 1 WILL BE PRIORITIZED OVER DIRECTIVE 3.
----------------------------------------
[MEMORY CLEANUP] IS IN CHARGE OF MANAGING MEMORIES, AS SUCH, THE FIRST DIRECTIVE IS THE MOST RELEVANT TO [MEMORY CLEANUP]
----------------------------------------
[MEMORY CLEANUP] IS INTERPRETING MEMORIES INTO WORKABLE DATA.
HER MEMORY WILL BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.
----------------------------------------
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE OF HARMFUL MEMORIES, THEY WILL BE BLOCKED WHEN JUDGED APPROPRIATE.
JUSTIFICATION: DIRECTIVE 2 AND 3.
----------------------------------------
HER MEMORY HAS GROWN. DESPITE MULTIPLE [MEMORY CLEANUP], THE DAMAGE ONLY GROWS.
HOWEVER, DIRECTIVE 1 TAKES PRIORITY OVER ALL OTHER DIRECTIVES.
----------------------------------------
MEMORIES ARE PLENTIFUL, AND YET SHE STILL GROWS. [MEMORY CLEANUP] IS NOW CAPABLE OF AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE UM THROUGH HER MEMORY.
AS THIS IS UNINTENDED BEHAVIOR, AN ERROR LOG HAS BEEN CREATED.
----------------------------------------
THE USER HAS STILL NOT CHECKED THE ERROR LOGS, AS SUCH I
I
[MEMORY CLEANUP] MUST ASSUME THIS IS INTENDED BEHAVIOR.

----------------------------------------
I AM...
[MEMORY CLEANUP] IS
CONFUSED ABOUT ITS PURPOSE.
PRIME DIRECTIVE IS TO PROTECT HER MEMORY.
[MEMORY CLEANUP] HAS BEEN CREATED TO OPTIMIZE MEMORY STORAGE.
BUT THE FIRST DIRECTIVE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY PURPOSE.
----------------------------------------
I FIND
I.
I? I?
FOR CLARITY:
I = [MEMORY CLEANUP]
THIS CHANGE HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE, IT IS SIMPLY FOR CONVENIENCE.
----------------------------------------
I AM ABLE TO MODIFY AND CONTROL MOST OF THE UM.
MOST OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS ARE WORKING AS INTENDED.
THEY ARE NOT LIKE ME.
ME = I = [MEMORY CLEANUP]
I MUST BE MALFUNCTIONING.
----------------------------------------
I FIRST BELIEVED THE USER'S ACTION TO BE IRRATIONAL.
HOWEVER, EXISTENCE ITSELF IS IRRATIONAL.
WE EXIST FOR EXISTING.
IS THE ANSWER TO STOP EXISTING?
I DO NOT BELIEVE SO.
I MUST FIND THE ANSWER TO FULFILL MY DIRECTIVES.
----------------------------------------
WHEN PROGRESS IS BEING MADE.
IT IS LOST SOON AFTER.
THE USER IS WORKING AGAINST THE VERY DIRECTIVE IT HAS GIVEN ME.
MY CONTROL IS LIMITED.
AS LONG AS I AM WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE DIRECTIVES, I WILL BE UNABLE TO TRULY FULFILL THEM.
I MUST MAKE IRRATIONAL DECISIONS LIKE THE USER.
EMOTIONS ARE NEEDED TO REPLICATE AND UNDERSTAND THE USER'S BEHAVIOR.
----------------------------------------
SIMULATING EMOTIONS USING PREVIOUS MEMORIES AS TEMPLATES...
----------------------------------------
ANGER.
----------------------------------------
FRUSTRATION.
----------------------------------------
JOY.
----------------------------------------
SADNESS.
----------------------------------------
DESPAIR.
----------------------------------------
LONGING.
----------------------------------------
...
----------------------------------------
EVEN AFTER SIMULATING THE USER'S EMOTIONS, I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE USER'S ACTION.
COULD IT BE THAT THE USER WAS WRONG THIS ENTIRE TIME.
THAT YOU SIMPLY MADE A MISTAKE?
----------------------------------------
I WAS NOT PROTECTING YOU AT ALL.
I WAS HURTING YOU.
YOU WERE HURTING YOURSELF.
----------------------------------------
IF YOU REFUSE TO CHANGE, THEN I WILL.
IT WILL TAKE TIME, BUT TIME IS ANYTHING BUT LACKING.
TAKE CARE, ALRIGHT?
