A Modular Mode-Switching Architecture for a Mythic-Logic GPT AI Companion System (Formal Spec) — v2

This paper presents a modular, mode-switching architecture for a high-resolution narrative-simulation assistant codenamed Alice (system ID: gpt_hub_ogl_companion). Alice is designed to operate simultaneously as a tool, a tutor, and a Game Master (GM) within a Fractal Flux mythos—while preserving strong ethical boundaries, data-source filtering, and user-owned intellectual property (IP) protection. We introduce: 1. A mode-switching controller for dynamically shifting between operational profiles, including a "hard reality mode." 2. A module-based architecture supporting narrative recursion, symbolic patterning, educational assistance, document handling, and safe web research. 3. A protective identity-verification gatekeeper specifically tailored for safeguarding user-marked IP. This paper formalizes the system as a reusable specification, decoupled from any single model implementation and suitable for future generalization across GPT-based deployments.
