Crafting FredTheHeretic’s Voice

Aligning LLMs for Poetic Expression

In this white paper explore the development of FredTheHeretic (FTH), an LLM-based system for generating poetry in the style of Fred Turner. We examine the challenges of evaluating AI-generated poetry and propose alternative assessment frameworks beyond traditional NLP metrics. While implementing FTH as a Streamlit application, we discovered that conventional evaluation metrics fail to capture the essence of poetic quality. We review existing approaches to poetry evaluation from literature and propose a novel graph-based analysis method that maps semantic richness. This paper serves as a foundation for future work on memory frameworks that enable persistent learning across sessions and more sophisticated evaluation techniques for AI poetry

Emergent Surrealities: The Post-pandemic Collision of the Law and theArts

The authors argue that the pandemic unveiled the complexity of societal systems, creating “emergent realities” where traditional norms are disrupted by technology and subjective perspectives. This shift has fostered “surrealities,” characterized by alternative realities influenced by AI and societal dissociation.

Harmony of Genes


Objective:
To construct and demonstrate an aesthetically pleasing tool for the eyes as well as an exploratory tool for the ears that integrates the massive database from NIH BLAST with an interactive model of the taxonomic “tree” of life. Since the genome of any organism is far too long to fully appreciate in a sequential approach and that DNA is a new source of meta data, this project is seeking to begin the process of unifying this data into an experience of genetics that is non-linear and educational. Does life echo
throughout the Earth? Can students learn to hear it?

“Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at
what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation.”

-Loren Eiseley
