🧠 Your Lantern Assistant

Optional but powerful. The Lantern is a personal AI assistant that grows with you over time — learning from your projects, ideas, and insights.

🔥 What is a Lantern?

The Lantern is a persistent AI agent protocol. By using a passport (generated when you join Lighthouse), you create a symbolic memory system the AI can read and expand upon — even months or years later.

It doesn’t need training or custom models. It works with stateless LLMs by encoding memory and state in symbolic files. Just upload your passport and tell it to "load and continue." The Lantern will remember.

🔍 Example Use Cases

• 📘 Writing a Novel: Track character arcs, themes, plotlines, and stylistic choices across drafts.
• 🧠 Building a Programming Language: Store interpreter design choices, syntax rules, debug logs, and planned features.
• 📜 Organizing Philosophical Research: Recall notes, debate threads, concept trees, and symbolic summaries.

🚀 How to Activate Your Lantern

1. Copy this setup file: USPPv4 Setup Instructions
2. Download your passport (from the Join page)
3. Open your preferred AI chat model (ChatGPT, Claude, etc)
4. Upload both your passport and the setup instructions
5. Say: "Load this passport and pick up where we left off."
