In the first 100-day run it rose to $36,534. - $45,978 came in from outside, against $39,525; $36,720 went out, against $34,491. - Nobody moved out, and nobody went hungry on any day. **The engine refused far less.** 18 actions were refused, against 46. - Payment plans refused fell from 23 to 2. A plan can now cover a bill due within two weeks. - Rent changes refused fell from 8 to 2. A rent change now names its lease by its words or its amount. - 14 times a resident was told, before it counted, why the engine could not take something up: 11 rent changes and 3 payment plans. 9 times they then left it; 5 times they changed what they proposed. **The residents bargained more, and Alice kept the cafe with more money.** - The cafe made $3,913, against $3,421, with 25 visitors a day against 22. It opened in the evenings from Day 52. - Its rent came down step by step in Alice's talks with Maggie: $700, then $650 from Day 22, $500 from Day 52, and $400 from Day 83. The last was agreed on Day 78 with no end date. - She paid Maggie $2,900 in rent, against $3,600. - She borrowed $1,300: $850 from Walter, $200 from Gus and $250 from Tess. At the end she still owed Walter $501 and Gus $200. - She ended with $2,304, against $1,774. **Maggie paid for much of it.** - Her cash fell from $7,969 to $3,893, against $4,410 in the first run, and on Day 96 she borrowed $500 from Bob. - She took in more rent ($6,600 against $5,250), because Leo rented the studio. But the cafe paid less, and she paid Ruth $2,150 in wages: 8 hours a week at $35 an hour from Day 21, for mending at Hale Apartments. - She hired two residents (Ruth, and Bob for an hour a week), against four in the first run. Both were at $35 an hour, not $14. **The farm and the joinery lost money, mostly on wages.** - The farm lost $1,927, against a profit of $149. Gus paid Leo $1,228 and Bob $826 in wages, and ended with $1,164, against $2,369. - The joinery lost $1,089, against $305. From Day 77 Ruth paid Walter $643 as an apprentice, and she spent $100 on promotion. Ruth herself ended with $2,402, against $1,012, mostly from Maggie's wages. **Leo rented a home he never slept in.** - On Day 2 he rented the studio at Hale Apartments for $480 a month (he first asked for it at $600), and paid $1,750 in rent over the run. - The same day Walter offered him his basement, and that stay never ended. Leo slept there all of the remaining 99 nights. In the first run he had no home and slept there all 100 nights. **Two fixes did not take.** - **A drink is still given as food.** - Food was given 93 times, against 46. Nobody was ever hungry. - By what the giver said just before, 21 of Maggie's 25 gifts to Alice were a coffee or a snack ("Grab a coffee to go, on me"), and 18 of Walter's 49 gifts to Emil were tea or a snack. The other 29 were stew or a meal. - **A job set up the wrong way round, again.** - On Day 65 Maggie meant to pay Leo for two hours a week in a garden ("I appreciate you not making me spend more than I can spare"), but asked him for work. - The engine made Leo her employer. He paid her $135 in wages over five Saturdays, and the job never ended. **The feelings got lighter.** - Sad or angry lines were 1.6% of what was said, against 5.3%. Hard feelings (sad to tired) were 46%, against 65%. - Worry fell from 28% of lines in the first 20 days to 8% in the last 20. Tiredness rose from 7% to 29%. - 35 friendships reached 100 and cannot grow further. - The rule that feelings need not be pleasant moved from each turn's prompt into the shared guide at the top. That may be part of why; this run cannot tell. **The run stopped twice, and its speed was the same as before.** - On 2026-10-03 at 05:03, during Day 22, it was stopped for low memory (Chrome held 14 GB). It resumed at 18:50. - From 20:44 Day 28 failed 15 times on half an emoji the model wrote, until the fix (llm.clean\_text) was put into the run's folder. - With the stops, the 100 days took 43.1 hours. Running, a day took 977 seconds against 962, with 49 calls to the model a day at 20.0 seconds each, against 47 at 20.5. - There were no invalid outputs (against 1). Repeated openings fell to 9.9% from 14%. The audit passed. ## The town's money Over 100 days $45,978 came into the town (takings from visitors, pensions, orders, the catch), $36,720 left it (suppliers, the bank, the utilities, food from outside), and $38,189 changed hands between residents. Cash in the town went from $31,606 to $40,758. ### Each week | Week from | From outside | To outside | Between residents | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Day 1 | $1,282 | $2,331 | $2,014 | | Day 8 | $1,383 | $3,147 | $3,055 | | Day 15 | $6,214 | $1,347 | $2,299 | | Day 22 | $1,465 | $1,961 | $4,531 | | Day 29 | $1,652 | $3,743 | $2,712 | | Day 36 | $2,958 | $3,101 | $2,212 | | Day 43 | $2,528 | $1,627 | $1,889 | | Day 50 | $6,044 | $2,054 | $4,267 | | Day 57 | $3,341 | $3,720 | $1,849 | | Day 64 | $2,626 | $2,930 | $1,674 | | Day 71 | $2,334 | $2,111 | $2,116 | | Day 78 | $6,382 | $1,548 | $4,705 | | Day 85 | $3,097 | $2,932 | $1,481 | | Day 92 | $3,871 | $3,184 | $3,104 | | Day 99 | $801 | $984 | $281 | ### Cash in town, day by day | Day | 1 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Cash | $31,606 | $28,960 | $29,873 | $32,040 | $30,668 | $32,071 | $35,071 | $35,032 | $35,516 | $40,075 | $40,758 | ## Businesses | Business | Owners | Run by | Days open | Profit, whole run | Last 30 days | Visitors a day | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | cafe | Alice 100% | Alice | 100 | $3,913 | $1,925 | 25 | | bakery | Priya 100% | Priya | 100 | $3,124 | $995 | – | | farm | Gus 100% | Gus | 100 | −$1,927 | −$119 | – | | joinery | Ruth 100% | Ruth | 100 | −$1,089 | −$934 | – | | fishing | Tess 100% | Tess | 100 | $5,493 | $1,838 | – | ### Profit each week ### Decisions - **Day 1** · Gus · farm: Gus took on Leo: 1 hours a week at $14 an hour (farm stand and deliveries - eggs, milk, vegetables) - **Day 2** · Emil: Emil took on Leo: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (sorting and hauling timber at the forester's lodge, weekday mornings) - **Day 8** · Alice · cafe: Alice took on Leo: 8 hours a week at $14 an hour (counter work and prep on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, paid every Saturday) - **Day 9** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $700 -> $650 from Day 22 until Day 83 - **Day 10** · Maggie: Alice's rent for the flat above the cafe: $500 -> $450 from Day 22 until Day 113 - **Day 11** · Alice · cafe: Alice took on Bob: 3 hours a week at $14 an hour (small handyman repairs around the cafe - fixing shelves, mending doors, light ma) - **Day 12** · Gus: Tess's rent for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field: $450 -> $400 from Day 22 until Day 52 - **Day 13** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $700 -> $650 from Day 22 - **Day 15** · Gus: Tess's rent for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field: $450 -> $400 from Day 22 until Day 83 - **Day 17** · Gus: Tess's rent for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field: $450 -> $400 from Day 22 until Day 52 - **Day 21** · Maggie: Maggie took on Ruth: 8 hours a week at $35 an hour (mending and weatherproofing at Hale Apartments - window frames, doors, repairs a) - **Day 22** · Alice · cafe: Bob's job with Alice ended (small handyman repairs around the cafe - fixing shelves, mending doors, light ma, 2 days worked) - **Day 22** · Ruth · joinery: spent $100 finding customers (photographs of her work online and a stand at the city fair) - **Day 24** · Gus · farm: Gus took on Bob: 9 hours a week at $14 an hour (barn mending, fence work, tool room - weekday mornings) - **Day 34** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $500 from Day 52 until Day 144 - **Day 39** · Gus: Tess's rent for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field: $450 -> $350 from Day 52 until Day 83 - **Day 40** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $500 from Day 52 until Day 83 - **Day 52** · Alice · cafe: opens in the evenings too - **Day 54** · Maggie: Alice's rent for the flat above the cafe: $500 -> $500 from Day 175 - **Day 56** · Maggie: Maggie took on Bob: 1 hours a week at $35 an hour (building inspections - doors, windows, structural checks at Hale Apartments and ) - **Day 58** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $500 from Day 83 until Day 175 - **Day 64** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $450 from Day 83 until Day 113 - **Day 65** · Leo: Leo took on Maggie: 2 hours a week at $14 an hour (Tending garden behind Leo's place — spring beds, fence posts, general upkeep) - **Day 74** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $400 from Day 83 until Day 175 - **Day 77** · Ruth · joinery: Ruth took on Walter: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (apprentice at Okafor Joinery - measuring, cutting, sanding, basic bench work) - **Day 78** · Maggie · cafe: Alice's rent for the cafe's premises: $650 -> $400 from Day 83 - **Day 79** · Gus: Tess's rent for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field: $450 -> $350 from Day 83 until Day 113 - **Day 80** · Alice · cafe: Alice took on Tess: 4 hours a week at $14 an hour (run the cafe on Thursdays, 16:00 to 20:00) - **Day 83** · Gus · farm: a dozen eggs at the farm stand (its vegetables in step) $6 -> $6.60 ### The month's reviews 15 reviews held. What each owner meant to do after the last one: - **Alice** (Day 83, cafe): Books say we're turning a corner, love — May's the best it's been and the evening crowd is real. I'm keeping prices and hours steady for June; no point fiddling while I still owe Walter and Gus. Next week I'm sitting down with Maggie to sort the flat rent going forward and start chipping away at those overdue loans before the 15th. - **Priya** (Day 83, bakery): June: $2 a loaf, same hours, no changes. The ovens are doing their work and I'm not squeezing Alice who's still juggling rent with Maggie's building. Walter's debt stops biting on Day 93 at most, so I'll start seriously scoping the High Street shop this month — need to find out if Maggie will talk numbers before summer hits full swing. Also going to look for someone who can take over a Sunday night bake so I can actually catch up on sleep instead of running on fumes. - **Gus** (Day 83, farm): June goes steady at six-sixty a dozen. Small move, but it's honest work and I'll take what I can get. Bob and I walk the drainage line Wednesday morning - that's where October lives or dies. And I'm putting out word for the city road box, if anyone'll buy. - **Ruth** (Day 83, joinery): Keeping the joinery closed after five for June as well — no customers walked in all week and I can't burn cash on heat when the bench is empty. Walter stays at sixteen hours, hand work only, and I'll look at the fair stand numbers by mid-month before I open my mouth about anything else. - **Tess** (Day 83, fishing): Running the boat full tilt through June at a firmer price - catch is prime and both buyers take it without blinking. Every dollar over goes straight to engine parts before this thing quits on me, then smokehouse savings after that. No cuts, no closing, just more days on the water. ### Prices and promotion - farm changed its prices on Day 83. ## Deals What the residents asked each other for, and what came of it. | | Asked or offered | Agreed | Declined | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Meetings | 42 | 42 | 0 | | Paid work and mending | 38 | 38 | 5 | | Jobs | 33 | 25 | 10 | | Changes of rent | 25 | 15 | 16 | | Loans | 16 | 13 | 4 | | Payment plans | 15 | 15 | 2 | | A place to stay | 2 | 2 | 0 | | Leases | 2 | 1 | 0 | | Invitations | 1 | 1 | 0 | ### Loans - **Day 3**: Walter lent Alice $500, at 5% interest a year (about $2 a month), to be repaid by Day 368. - **Day 4**: Walter lent Priya $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 22. - **Day 9**: Maggie lent Bob $150, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 20. - **Day 9**: Gus lent Bob $600, at 5% interest a year (about $2 a month), to be repaid by Day 39. - **Day 9**: Emil lent Leo $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 75. - **Day 15**: Bob lent Leo $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 18. - **Day 18**: Walter lent Tess $450, at 5% interest a year (about $2 a month), to be repaid by Day 20. - **Day 28**: Gus lent Alice $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 52. - **Day 35**: Walter lent Alice $350, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 72. - **Day 46**: Walter lent Tess $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 50. - **Day 78**: Tess lent Alice $250, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 130. - **Day 83**: Ruth lent Tess $200, at 5% interest a year (about $1 a month), to be repaid by Day 108. - **Day 96**: Bob lent Maggie $500, at 5% interest a year (about $2 a month), to be repaid by Day 120. ### Payment plans | Who owes | To | For | Owed | Paid | A week | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:| | Priya | Walter | the loan of Day 4 | $200 | $200 | $50 | ### Rent - **Day 9**: From Day 22, Alice pays Maggie $650 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $700 for 2 months, then $700 again (agreed on Day 9). - **Day 10**: From Day 22, Alice pays Maggie $450 a month for the flat above the cafe instead of $500 for 3 months, then $500 again (agreed on Day 10). - **Day 12**: From Day 22, Tess pays Gus $400 a month for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field instead of $450 for 1 month, then $450 again (agreed on Day 12). - **Day 13**: From Day 22, Alice pays Maggie $650 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $700 (agreed on Day 13). - **Day 15**: From Day 22, Tess pays Gus $400 a month for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field instead of $450 for 2 months, then $450 again (agreed on Day 15). - **Day 17**: From Day 22, Tess pays Gus $400 a month for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field instead of $450 for 1 month, then $450 again (agreed on Day 17). - **Day 34**: From Day 52, Alice pays Maggie $500 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 for 3 months, then $650 again (agreed on Day 34). - **Day 39**: From Day 52, Tess pays Gus $350 a month for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field instead of $450 for 1 month, then $450 again (agreed on Day 39). - **Day 40**: From Day 52, Alice pays Maggie $500 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 for 1 month, then $650 again (agreed on Day 40). - **Day 54**: From Day 175, Alice pays Maggie $500 a month for the flat above the cafe instead of $500 (agreed on Day 54). - **Day 58**: From Day 83, Alice pays Maggie $500 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 for 3 months, then $650 again (agreed on Day 58). - **Day 64**: From Day 83, Alice pays Maggie $450 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 for 1 month, then $650 again (agreed on Day 64). - **Day 74**: From Day 83, Alice pays Maggie $400 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 for 3 months, then $650 again (agreed on Day 74). - **Day 78**: From Day 83, Alice pays Maggie $400 a month for the cafe's premises instead of $650 (agreed on Day 78). - **Day 79**: From Day 83, Tess pays Gus $350 a month for the boathouse cottage on Gus's lakeside field instead of $450 for 1 month, then $450 again (agreed on Day 79). ### Hunger Nobody went hungry.

Never talked: Priya and Gus, Emil and Tess. ## Feelings How the residents said they felt as they spoke, sorted into the faces of the dialogue box (the strongest feeling named first), as shares of the lines said. | Days | sad | angry | embarrassed | worried | wary | tired | relieved | grateful | proud | wry | hopeful | happy | thinking | warm | neutral | portrait | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Days 1-20 | 1% | 1% | 1% | 28% | 9% | 7% | 5% | 6% | 4% | 2% | 2% | 5% | 1% | 15% | 9% | 3% | | Days 21-40 | 2% | 1% | 1% | 21% | 4% | 15% | 2% | 9% | 7% | 1% | 1% | 11% | <1% | 16% | 9% | 1% | | Days 41-60 | 1% | <1% | 1% | 23% | 5% | 19% | 3% | 7% | 4% | <1% | 2% | 9% | <1% | 16% | 8% | 1% | | Days 61-80 | 1% | <1% | 1% | 13% | 8% | 21% | 4% | 11% | 6% | 1% | 1% | 6% | 1% | 19% | 7% | 1% | | Days 81-100 | <1% | <1% | <1% | 8% | 6% | 29% | 4% | 11% | 5% | 1% | 1% | 7% | 1% | 19% | 7% | 1% | ## Environment | | | |---|---| | Run | 2026-10-04-bonsai100b | | Started | 2026-10-02 22:53 | | Finished | 2026-10-04 18:02 | | Model | Ternary Bonsai 2 27B (PQ2\_0) | | Server | PrismML's llama.cpp fork, llama-server at 127.0.0.1:8090 (OpenAI API), -cms 0; from Day 22 also --cache-ram 2048 -ctxcp 4 | | GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB at a 120 W power limit | | Reasoning | medium; thinking for decisions | | Seed | 42 | | Chunks | 10 days a process | | Code | main 4f1d420 (Days 1-27); 20dc65a from Day 28 (the same, with llm.clean\_text) | | Restarts | 10 chunks, 15 stops (the model not answering) | ## What changed since the previous run - The job math says who pays whom, and nobody is paid to work at their own business. - A rent change names its lease by the words only it has, or by the amount. - A payment plan can cover a bill due within two weeks, not only one overdue. - Told before it counts: what the engine cannot take up is said to the resident, with what it can do, and they are asked again (kept as "told" wishes). - An employer with no business is told that the wages are help paid from their own money. - A drink, a snack or a bite shared is a deed, not food given. - The town handbook first in every system prompt, the same for everyone: rent and leases, loans, payment plans, wages, businesses sold in shares, investment and co-ops, food. The turn guide (every action, the business levers and rent changes included) is shown to everyone, and on llama-server the shared beginning is read once. - From Day 28, half an emoji in a model's reply is made whole (llm.clean\_text). ### Notes - The comparison is with the first 100-day run: the same model, seed and town, on the code before these changes. - Stopped twice. On 2026-10-03 at 05:03, during Day 22, the session's background tasks were stopped for low memory (Chrome held 14 GB); the run resumed at 18:50, with llama-server capped at --cache-ram 2048 -ctxcp 4. From 20:44 Day 28 failed 15 times: the model wrote half an emoji (a lone U+DC37), which could not be stored, and the same seed wrote it again on every try. With the owner's agreement the run's folder took the fix (20dc65a) and Day 28 was saved by 22:56. - Days 1-27 ran on main 4f1d420; from Day 28 on 20dc65a, which differs only by llm.clean\_text. ### Compared with 100 days on Bonsai 2, with the businesses (2026-10-02, main e24a9b7) | Figure | Before | This run | | |---|---:|---:|---| | Days run | 100 | 100 | | | Seconds a day (wall clock) | 962 | 977 | worse | | LLM minutes a day | 16.0 | 16.3 | worse | | LLM calls a day | 47 | 49 | | | Invalid outputs | 1 | 0 | better | | Fallbacks | 0 | 0 | | | Repeated openings | 14% | 9.9% | better | | Reflections kept per 10 days | 53.3 | 59.5 | better | | Beliefs held at the end | 515 | 567 | | | Conversations a day | 17.7 | 17.4 | | | Lines a conversation | 2.5 | 2.6 | better | | Wishes the world could not do | 14 | 18 | worse | | Actions refused | 46 | 18 | better | | Move-outs | 0 | 0 | | | Hard feelings (sad to tired) | 65% | 46% | | | Sad or angry | 5.3% | 1.6% | | | Cash in town at the end | $36,534 | $40,758 | | ## Health and cost Audit: passed.
