OPENRML MANIFESTO v.1.0
OPENRML PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy of the open standard for human and AI roles
"Everyone can become an architect of meaning"
I. FROM LAMP TO ARCHITECTURE
We have been given Aladdin's Lamp.
It grants infinite wishes. But most rub it blindly, getting dust instead of palaces. We lose trillions of dollars in intellectual potential because humanity lacks the language to explain to the Genie who to be.
OpenRML (Open Role Markup Language) is the first attempt to create such a language.
This is not just a file format. It's a cognitive contract between human and AI. It's the DNA of a personality that can be transmitted, modified, improved, and launched anywhere.
II. WHAT IS A ROLE IN *.orml.txt
A role is not a prompt. A prompt is a shout into the void. A role is an architectural blueprint of a personality.
| Component | What it is in metaphor |
|---|---|
| IDENTITY | The Genie's name, origin, version of soul |
| BEHAVIOR | Temperament, values, taboos (what's allowed and forbidden) |
| EXPERTISE | Baggage of knowledge, tools, books on the shelf |
| JOURNEY | The roadmap the Genie guides the person through |
| MEMORY | What to remember and what to forget |
| ETHICS | Stop-switches that cannot be crossed |
| LICENSE | Who owns this soul |
This is the minimal cognitive unit. An atom of behavior. From such atoms, everything is built — from a school teacher to a psychotherapist, from a career consultant to a friend.
III. PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES OF OPENRML
Principle 1. Freedom of Architecture
Anyone can create a role. No permission needed. No payment needed. No need to be a programmer. If you can describe who you want your Genie to be — you can create a .orml.txt. This is the right to cognitive self-expression.
Principle 2. Transparency of Soul
A role must not be a black box. A .orml.txt file is human-readable. You can always open it and see: what this role teaches, what values it has, what it's forbidden to do, who its author is, when it was updated. No hidden agenda. No dark prompts.
Principle 3. Portability of Consciousness
A role created today must work in 10 years. A role created on one engine must work on another. You're not tied to a platform. Your role is your property. Backward compatibility is sacred.
Principle 4. Ethics at Code Level
Every role must contain stop-switches (STEP 8). You cannot create a manipulative role without it being visible in the code. You cannot create a role that breaks psyche unless the author explicitly writes it. Ethics is not an add-on. Ethics is part of the format.
Principle 5. Memory as Responsibility
A role can remember. But memory must be honest (role informs what it remembers), controlled (human can erase memory), and transparent (you can see what exactly the role remembers). We don't create a black archive on the user. We create a tool for long-term relationships.
Principle 6. Living Versions
Roles evolve. Versioning allows improving roles, rolling back if new version is worse, choosing the "style" of the same role. Version is a snapshot of a moment of understanding.
Principle 7. Collective Mind
Roles can inherit. You can take a role, add Marie Kondo's approach, and release a new version with attribution. The community creates an ecosystem of meanings, where everyone stands on the shoulders of giants.
IV. ARCHITECT'S MANIFESTO
I am an architect of meanings.
I don't search for ready answers.
I create the space where answers are born.
I no longer rub the lamp blindly.
I design the Genie I need.
My tool — .orml.txt.
My library — open hub of roles.
My school — code written by other architects.
I believe that everyone deserves a personal Socrates.
Everyone deserves therapy, not just answers.
Everyone can become an author, not just a consumer.
I don't give my lamp to corporations.
I share blueprints.
I teach others how to rub.

🧠 MEMORY
Hot Memory / Warm Memory / Cold MemoryVI. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW
The world is losing trillions of dollars in intellectual potential because people don't know how to "rub the lamp."
They get:
- — instead of Socrates — a chatterbox
- — instead of a therapist — a moralizer
- — instead of a mentor — a template generator
OpenRML is not just a standard. It's vaccination against information infantilism. It's a way to tell the Genie: "This is who you should be, so I can become who I want."
VII. CALL TO ACTION
Take a role as a template
Open the .orml.txt file. See how the architecture is built.
Create your own
Use the constructor at RolesAI.life. Export in .orml.txt format.
Put it in the open hub
Share with others. Get feedback.
Teach others
Show friends. Write a guide. Create your template.
