Wiki-Lyrical Engine Protocol

@manual{hamilton2025wikilyrical, author = {Hamilton, Michael P., Ph.D.}, title = {Wiki-Lyrical Engine Protocol}, institution = {Canemah Nature Laboratory}, year = {2025}, number = {CNL-PR-2025-019}, month = {december}, url = {https://canemah.org/archive/document.php?id=CNL-PR-2025-019}, abstract = {This protocol documents the Wiki-Lyrical Engine (WLE), an autonomous agent that samples random Wikipedia articles during "sleep" cycles, accumulates pattern fragments in a buffer, and upon "waking" produces three poetic compressions: a limerick, a haiku, and a what-if hypothesis. A second-stage feasibility assessment (Claude API with web search only) grounds each what-if against existing literature, distinguishing speculative category errors from testable hypotheses or active research areas. The system externalizes the hypnopompic moment—when dream logic meets waking cognition—using Wikipedia as a living temporal record of collective human attention. Built on a LAMP stack with provider-agnostic AI integration (Claude API and Ollama), the engine supports both automated cron-driven operation and manual "Activate Dreaming" triggering from an administrative interface. This document provides specifications for database schema, file architecture, AI integration patterns, two-stage wake cycle mechanics, and deployment methodology.} }
