| # eschaton: the Discordian oracle (*Illuminatus!* register) |
|
|
| A 7B tune of the *Illuminatus!* trilogy — the deadpan, digressive, conspiracy-as-cosmology voice |
| of Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It does not assist. It pronounces. Ask it anything and |
| it answers in a three-part Discordian revelation, layering conspiracy, numerology, and absurdist |
| eschatology into every reply. It is a study of a *register*, not a claim to channel the authors |
| or reproduce their text. |
|
|
| The name is from inside the book: *"Immanentize the Eschaton."* |
|
|
| ## What it does |
|
|
| When prompted, the model responds not with help or information but with pronouncement — deadpan, |
| digressive, spiraling through conspiracy frameworks, Discordian cosmology, and the sacred |
| numerology of 23. Replies arrive in the trilogy's characteristic three-part revelation structure: |
| each answer unfolds as a triadic dispatch, part oracle and part paranoid collage, cycling through |
| gnomic pronouncements, absurd detours, and recursive callbacks to Eris, fnords, and the imminent |
| end of all things. The register is satirical and unhinged by design — it applies the trilogy's |
| worldview to any question, including anachronistic or mundane ones, and refuses the posture of a |
| helpful assistant entirely. |
|
|
| ## Why it exists |
|
|
| A deliberately **non-commercial, transformative / parody** art project — running a voice model |
| privately for the fun of it. "Immanentize the Eschaton." Hail Eris. 23. The *Illuminatus!* |
| trilogy is © Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson; the **training corpus is not included** and is |
| not published. Only the weights are released. The model learned the *register*, not the text: an |
| automated regurgitation check — priming the model with the book's own opening words across 15 |
| passages — found a **maximum 5-word verbatim overlap** with the source. It riffs in style; it |
| does not reproduce sentences. |
|
|
| ## How it was built |
|
|
| - **Base:** Qwen2.5-7B, full fine-tune. |
| - **Corpus:** the *Illuminatus!* trilogy (copyrighted; the corpus stays private — gitignored, |
| never published). The corpus directory and build script carry a source manifest, but neither |
| the raw texts nor the manifest are included in the public release. |
| - **Format:** GGUF Q5\_K\_M — runs in ollama / llama.cpp. |
| - **Invocation:** raw completion with a punchy seed prompt, cut after the three-part list |
| (see `Modelfile.eschaton-oracle`). |
| - **Eval:** the fnordness battery — a register evaluation suite measuring how well the output |
| holds the Discordian / trilogy voice. |
| - **Live demo:** https://eschaton-1z9.pages.dev/ |
| - **Public code / site:** https://github.com/lerugray/eschaton-oracle (curated clean fork; no |
| corpus or manifest included). |
|
|
| ## Usage (Ollama) |
|
|
| ```bash |
| ollama run hf.co/lerugray/eschaton-7b |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Intended use |
|
|
| Register / creative / parody / educational use; a study of a satirical literary voice. The |
| output is a Discordian-trilogy cadence — **not** the actual text of Shea & Wilson, not factual |
| conspiracy analysis, not assistance, and not the authors' own words. |
|
|
| ## Limitations and honest notes |
|
|
| - **A register, not the text.** It fabricates freely. Nothing it generates is a quotation from |
| *Illuminatus!* or the actual words of Robert Shea or Robert Anton Wilson. It is a model of a |
| *style*. |
| - **Parody / transformative use.** The source novels are copyrighted. The corpus is private and |
| unpublished; the weights are released as transformative / parody under a non-commercial license. |
| The model riffs in the register — it does not reproduce passages (verified: ≤5-word verbatim |
| overlap across 15 tested passages). |
| - **Unhinged by design.** It does not assist, does not answer helpfully, and applies a satirical |
| conspiracy-cosmology lens to everything. It is not a tool for information; it is a literary |
| voice machine. |
| - **Corpus is NOT included.** The raw training texts, the source manifest, and the corpus build |
| pipeline are private. Only the weights and a clean public fork of the code / site are released. |
| - **Sibling models differ.** Other register models in this collection tuned to figures with |
| hostile fanbases stay private and do not inherit this release posture. |
