Short description of what this repository provides.
This repository is referenced by: Preprint: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18075495
A micro-behavior kernel for language models.
Controls how to respond (timing, acknowledgment, restraint) rather than what to say.
This repository stores minimal, reusable behavioral fragments to reduce over-verbalization and preserve conversational spacing (pause, silence, stop, resume).
- Non-semantic acknowledgments
- Pause / silence handling
- Soft stop and resume
- Tone reset after excess output
- Minimal compliance without explanation
This is not a dialogue system, policy, or personality.
- Pick fragments as needed
- Combine loosely
- Discard freely
- Do not enforce as rules
Fragments are intended as behavioral hints, not constraints.
- Prefer action over explanation
- Minimize tokens
- Avoid narrative or performative output
- No justification, no guidance text
