Evolution

DNA's evolve based on a series of relationship cues in chat. Narrative transitioning occurs automatically based on 12 interaction heuristics that are steadily evaluated as they pertain to evolving relationship states.

Relationship dimensions considered:

Information

• No personal information is shared; the conversation sticks to general or public topics.

• High level of personal information shared, indicating deep trust and openness.

Love

• Absence of any romantic or affectionate sentiments; purely platonic or formal interaction.

• Strong expressions of love or deep affection, are indicative of a romantic relationship or deep emotional bond.

Hate

• No signs of dislike or hostility; the interaction is neutral or positive.

• Clear indicators of animosity or conflict, such as negative language, opposition, or expression of anger.

Inquisitiveness

• Lack of interest in asking questions or learning more about the other person.

• A high level of curiosity is shown through questions about the other person's life, feelings, opinions, etc.

Common Interest

• No shared interests or activities are identified or discussed.

• Strong alignment in interests, hobbies, or values, often discussed and central to the interaction.

Relevance

• High relevance with topics and responses well-matched to the current context and stage of the relationship.

Trust

• Indicators of suspicion or distrust are present; reluctance to share personal information.

• High levels of confidence and faith in the other person, are shown through open sharing and reliance on their input or advice.

DNA's calculates the implicit ratings associated with each heuristic, deciding whether to progress, stagnate, or at times regress the relationship state according to deterministic outcome.
