🌝 Let's think of ask.Alice_ch3n81 as a personalized 'google' for people who love writing. It is imagined as an instrument and a vessel that enriches, inspires, and cultivates writing. Ask.Alice-ch3n81.net is fast and works with plenty of text. Detailed conception, description, and dramatization can be found in a Play Among Books; a book written by Alice_ch3n81 and Miro.

BRAIN AND BODY
You can ask Alice any question you like. If she has something to say, she will text you back. Her voice is never a single one. She speaks in many tongues; her body is made up of the information found in many books and texts. Every time you change her brain, the library of her body is different. It is a new conversation.
TOPIC OF CONVERSATION
Before starting a conversation with Alice, you should propose a topic for discussion, so Alice can prepare. She will organise her library towards your topic of interest.

To be able to organise her books, Alice articulates a galaxy of concepts for each of her libraries. Concepts that are related to one another and like each other come close together. This is her brain, her conceptual alphabet.

You can explore glows of the galaxy by clicking on the maps next to the titles of books.
