Epistemic Engines: Building Reflective Minds with Belief Cartridges and In-Context Learning

Epistemic Engines: Building Reflective Minds with Belief Cartridges and In-Context Learning

🔍 Summary: Building the Engine of Understanding

This is not a finished story. It’s the beginning of one and likely the most ambitious post we’ve written yet.

We’re venturing into new ground: designing epistemic engines modular, evolving AI systems that don’t just respond to prompts, but build understanding, accumulate beliefs, and refine themselves through In-Context Learning.

In this series, we’ll construct a self-contained system separate from our core framework Stephanie that runs its own pipelines, evaluates its own beliefs, and continuously improves through repeated encounters with new data. Its core memory will be made of cartridges: scored, structured markdown artifacts distilled from documents, papers, and the web. These cartridges form a kind of belief substrate that guides the system’s judgments.

How to design a pipeline that turns vague goals into smart prompts

đź§Ş Summary

Why spend hours engineering prompts when AI can optimize its own instructions. This blog post introduces a novel approach toward creating a self-improving AI by treating prompts as programs. Traditional AI systems often rely on static instructions rigid and limited in adaptability. Here, we present a different perspective: viewing the Large Language Model (LLM) as a prompt compiler capable of dynamically transforming raw instructions into optimized prompts through iterative cycles of decomposition, evaluation, and intelligent reassembly.
