I aim to reduce the complexity of self-evaluation for key moments, goals, habits, and tasks in incarcerated individuals. Beyond supporting individuals in prison, this system is meant for anyone bold enough to pursue extreme personal change — those ready to face the cost of becoming someone new. To achieve this, the System that enables discontinuous self-assessment based on the 8 Prime Identities model.

General Vision

This system is designed to support individuals navigating critical life shifts with a willingness to transform to assess and improve their psychological well-being through:

• Identification of key moments (high/low motivation and satisfaction)
  
   
• Classification using the 8 Identities model
  
   
• Definition of personalized goals, habits, and tasks
  
   
• Continuous tracking of progress
  
   

Model Overview:
 8 Prime Identities – LessWrong

Core System Components

• Definition of 4 reference moments (high/low motivation and satisfaction)
  
   
• Gradual definition of goals, habits, and tasks
  
   
• Daily self-assessment prompts for new significant moments
  
   
• Weighting system for moments and contributing factors
  
   
• Classification system according to the 8 identities
  
   
• XP (experience points) reward system
  
   

Level 1: Foundation

Phase 1 – Defining Reference Moments (4 weeks, 1h/week)

The user answers 4 key questions about moments with high variation in motivation or satisfaction. These can also be pre-filled during an onboarding assessment.

Each reference moment is evaluated with:

• What led to this moment that could help you repeat it?
  
   
• Was the focus more personal or environmental?
  
   
• Was it more social, informational, individual, or physical?
  
   
• The app proposes a matching identity (from the 8).
  
   
• User gives it a 2-word title.
  
   

Initial Weights:

• High motivation/satisfaction: 1.0
  
   
• Low motivation/satisfaction: 0.01
   

Phase 2 – Defining Goals, Habits, and Tasks (3 weeks, 1h/week)

Week 1: Goals
 “What 4 goals could help you repeat/improve the positive moments and avoid the negative ones?”
 → For each goal: identify which identities it strengthens.

Week 2: Habits
 “What 4 daily or weekly habits could help you reach these goals?”
 → Classify each by the identity it supports.

Week 3: Tasks
 “What 4 concrete tasks can move you toward your goals?”
 → Assign each to a related identity.

Phase 3 – Ongoing Self-Evaluation of New Key Moments

• “Since last time, have you experienced moments of high or low motivation/satisfaction?”
  
   
• “Describe the moment briefly.”
  
   
• App analyzes and decomposes into factors.
  
   
• For each factor: “How much did this contribute to the moment?” (scale 1–100)
  
   
• App classifies according to identity model.
  
   

Reference Comparison System:

(Reverse weights for negative moments range from 0.01 to 0.1)

XP System (Experience Points)

• Much higher/lower: +1 XP
  
   
• Higher/lower: +0.75 XP
  
   
• Slightly higher/lower: +0.5 XP
  
   
• A bit higher/lower: +0.25 XP
  
   

Review System

• After a reference change: “Would you like to update your goals?”
  
   
• If yes: “Would you like to update your habits?”
  
   

Reports and Visualizations

• Moment distribution by identity
  
   
• Progress on goals, habits, and tasks
  
   
• Motivation/satisfaction trends
  
   
• Most/least developed identities
   

Level 2: Objective Metrics and Validation

• Dynamic threshold: 75th percentile of previous records = “high”
  
   
• Advanced phase: passive sensors (steps, HRV, HR) to compare self-reports
  
   
• AI always asks for user confirmation on confidence of data

🧩 Invitation to Collaborate

If this project resonates with you —whether you're a developer interested in using technology for psychological empowerment, or a rationalist passionate about designing systems that reduce bias and increase agency— I'd love to collaborate.

For developers:
 Your skills could help turn this into a robust, elegant, privacy-respecting tool that can work even offline and adapt to the constraints of a prison environment. Whether you have experience with Flutter, or just love building systems that actually help people, there's space for you here.

For rationalists:
 This framework is heavily inspired by Bayesian thinking, entropy-based identity modeling, and meta-rationality. I'm looking for feedback, criticisms, and contributions to refine the identity model, scoring systems, or behavior tracking logic. Especially if you're into cognitive science, applied rationality, or system design — your insights are extremely welcome.

🔗 Where to start:
 I’m preparing a GitHub repo and lightweight onboarding materials (data model, design principles, UI wireframes). If you'd like to be part of this, just message me or comment on this draft — I’ll follow up with access and next steps.

🌱 Why this matters:
 People in prison often lack tools for introspection, self-guided growth, and feedback loops that don’t depend on external authority. Helping someone reflect more clearly on their motivations and priorities — even once a week — can shift their trajectory. Let’s build something that respects their autonomy while supporting their development.
