ARCHETYPE GLYPHS — what's in your signal

HOST GLYPHS — who responds

PROVIDER GLYPHS — who carries the signal

CACHE GLYPHS — routing memory

SESSION GLYPH SEQUENCE

The glyph strip in the sidebar footer is an audit trail of your session. Each glyph is the host that responded to each query, in order.

Example: ☽☽⚡✿⊕∞
= ElderGut×2, Hacker-X, Seyra, Orrin, Narratus

Patterns in the sequence reveal which archetypal domain your signals are consistently landing in. A long run of ☽☽☽ means your psyche is deep in shadow work.

ROUTING ALGORITHM

Each host is scored based on: primary archetype match (+3), secondary archetype match (+1.5), Freudian dynamic match (+2), journey stage match (+1.5), shadow/light threshold bonuses (+1), and session bias nudges (last 5 sessions' dominant hosts get a small boost on borderline scores).

The highest-scoring host receives your signal.

LLM PROVIDERS (priority fallback order)

HOW FALLBACK WORKS

ARES tries providers in priority order. Ollama (local) is tried first if configured, then Groq, then the remaining cloud providers. Only providers with a configured key/URL are attempted. You can add multiple keys for redundancy — ARES will always route to the first available one.

The active provider is shown in the indicator bar after each response. Model settings: max_tokens=1024, temperature=0.87.

ARES SERVER CONNECTION

By default ARES connects to the same origin (relative URL). If you are running ARES on a remote server, enter the full URL in the ARES SERVER section of the sidebar.

The optional Auth Token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header — use this if your ARES instance is protected behind authentication middleware.
