Transform narratives through allegorical projection and Socratic dialogue
The Lamish Projection Engine is an AI-powered system that transforms any narrative into allegorical representations while preserving the essential meaning. By separating a story's core from its surface presentation, LPE reveals universal patterns and enables cross-cultural understanding.
Three-Layer Transformation:
Processing Pipeline:
1. Deconstruct - Break down the narrative structure
2. Map - Translate elements into the chosen namespace
3. Reconstruct - Rebuild as allegory in new context
4. Stylize - Apply appropriate linguistic expression
5. Reflect - Generate insights about the transformation
Core Features
🎭 Allegorical Projections Transform any story through different lenses while maintaining its essential meaning. A corporate deadline becomes a cosmic exploration challenge, a personal conflict becomes a medieval quest.
🤔 Maieutic Dialogue Interactive Socratic questioning that helps discover deeper insights about your narrative before transformation. The system asks thoughtful questions to reveal assumptions and uncover universal themes.
🔄 Round-trip Translation Analysis Analyze how meaning changes when stories pass through different languages, revealing what gets preserved, lost, or gained in translation.
🤖 Multi-Provider AI Support Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and local Ollama models, with automatic fallback and secure credential management.
