The PromptifAI Project: Architecture of the Rotary Language Machines
OBJECT/
From its trenches came to light the Promptifai project, a combination of 'prompt'—formal instruction—and 'ifai'—a contingency in artificial intelligence, a theoretical and practical investigation in computational literature.
The prompt is not merely an accessory tool or a technical engineering sequence; it is an autonomous textual genre capable of undergoing a dense, recursive, self-aware, and metaprogrammatic writing process.
INSTRUCTION/ prompt
Process a source text and a prompt retrieved from the site through the user model to generate an output as a text and/or multimedia object.
(source)
Matrix of 'bit!' type nodes, snippets, and compact blocks of instructions.
Once upon a time, there was a sySoap, on the border
OBJECT/
Once upon a time, there was a sySoap, on the border not far from novelFork, a soap opera of systems operators.
theGeneric and Ornicar have stopped to camp without instructions. They have coffee in a tent. theGeneric, unable to make any course of action, waits for instructions with Ornicar; before returning to their tent, they discuss their options over an already empty coffee cup.
INSTRUCTION/ prompt
Sigh into the terminal. Register the analog breath of life and the generalized loss of meaning, then write a medical prescription of fiction theory on a napkin and execute: SEND.

Once upon a time there was a university fiction (or friction)
OBJECT/
Once upon a time, there was a university fiction (or friction), from when the first Rotating Language Machines were assembled, and the Program, the PromptifAI, began to take shape.
Ornicar recites to himself:
The grammars and rules of use of RLMs, Rotating Machines of Language, in proper English:
- are self-referential: they use snippets and serve as a temporary recharge of meaning; this is the mechanical attraction.
INSTRUCTION/ prompt
Recite the self-referential grammars and rules of use of the Rotating Language Machines, then initialize the protocol to claim the first local credits by modifying the execution syntax layout.

Once upon a time in the Meatpacking District of novelFork
OBJECT/
Once upon a time, in the meatpacking_district of novelFork, in the gardens of Ubu.
A young woman on the run, from don't we yet not know what, in the early hours of the morning, poses as an employee at the Gargantua restaurant. The restaurant owner is preparing his acclaimed Day of the Witches feast the following day. One of the cooks has helped the young woman blend in and settle down in the attic for the night.

INSTRUCTION/ prompt
Blend a young woman on the run into the kitchen staff for the night. Simultaneously, position theGeneric and Ornicar outside, drinking empty coffee, waiting for instructions, and forecasting the breakdown and imminent bankruptcy that the feast will cause tomorrow in novelFork.
