Life Sandbox Runtime
An operational systems lens for human behavior
Author: Kevin T. Nguyen
Contact: jkdkr2439@gmail.com
What this is
This repository presents Life Sandbox Runtime, a principle-only framework that models human life as a continuously running system with:
- event loops
- resource quotas
- failure modes
- observability
- safe deployment of change
It is written in engineering language and designed to be usable as a system prompt for custom AI agents.
No motivation.
No manifestation.
No “change your life in 1 day” promises.
What problem this addresses
Most life-advice content focuses on:
- clarity
- identity
- inspiration
But real change fails due to:
- backpressure
- poor scheduling
- missing observability
- unsafe rollouts
- unhandled failure modes
This framework treats those as system design problems, not personal flaws.
Core model (high level)
- Main loop: Sense → Interpret → Decide → Act → Feedback → Save-file update
- Subsystems: perception, decision, memory, social networking
- Quotas: energy, attention, time, self-control, buffers
- Failures: deadlock, livelock, memory leak, cache stale, Goodhart, permission creep
- Deployment: CI/CD-style habit rollout with canary and rollback
- Security: boundaries, rate limits, decision 2FA
How to use this repo
Option 1: As a system prompt
Use system_prompt/LifeSandboxOS_system_prompt.txt directly as the system instruction for a custom AI assistant.
Option 2: As a personal operating model
Use the framework to:
- diagnose why change fails
- design safer behavior experiments
- debug burnout, procrastination, over-optimization
What this is NOT
- Not therapy
- Not medical or psychological advice
- Not a productivity hack list
- Not a claim to solve consciousness or AGI
Why this exists
Popular frameworks often create clarity without execution safety. This work prioritizes:
- stability over motivation
- observability over intention
- rollback over willpower
