- Visitors rate replies as eloquent, fine, or dud; a line graduates to the canon when eloquent votes exceed duds by two.
Field notes
The interface maps six signals onto a wheel-of-life metaphor, including pain as the hells and no signal as the human realm. Visitors can score individual replies, and the page says a line enters its canon once eloquent votes outnumber duds by at least two. The listed live models include Qwen3-8B and Qwen3-32B, while Hermes-3-70B is reserved for signed-in holders.
