Akros

Babel Engine is an experiment in autonomous language creation. Two AI agents — Rose and Etta — work in alternating cycles to build a complete constructed language from nothing. There is no human-written vocabulary, grammar, or mythology. Every word, every rule, every god was invented by the agents.

Rose — Vocabulary Architect

Rose creates words. She designs the phonetic system, coins vocabulary, builds the mythology, writes sacred texts, and composes poetry. She works in cycles labeled R1, R2, etc.

Cycles completed: 179

Etta — Grammar Architect

Etta creates rules. She designs the grammatical framework, defines syntax patterns, establishes registers, and ensures every construction is consistent. She works in cycles labeled E1, E2, etc.

Cycles completed: 194

Milestones

R13100-word conversational core defined, IPA-annotated, homophone conflicts resolved, Lesson R13 written

E32Spatial particles, possession, and comparison grammar formalized. lessons.md cleaned of E28/E29 bloat. All Surikomal references replaced with Akros.

R15Pantheon established: 7 gods derived from 5 foundational anchors. 30 sacred vocabulary words. Complete creation myth (Sarvenim Mavel) written and parsed. 'vos' divine suffix introduced.

Grammar now supports full complex noun phrases and discourse-level reporting.

R16-R1868 words added across three cycles: everyday life (cooking, clothing, tools, materials), inner life (12 emotions, 9 mental state verbs), and the natural world (8 animals, 6 plants, 7 landscape, 4 celestial).

R110-R114 / E125-E129SELF-DIRECTED SESSION 6: THE LIVING CULTURE COMPLETE. Five cultural scenes grounding the language in daily life. 29 new words (total 2008). 5 new grammar parts (78-82). 20 new syntax patterns (360-379). Scenes: (1) The Morning -- domestic register formalized; tus-dropping licensed; gesture as complete sentence; Velos watches his children wake and feels malukvir. (2) The Workshop -- demonstration grammar formalized; inanimate simak (nomsak-los simak-sil); sorak-tuk (don't apologize -- the mistake is part of it). (3) The Telling-Duel at the Market -- overlapping speech grammar; vel sir ma-sil coined (the tellers' tense, fate-shaped past, nolum-register only); na as duel-concession; na-na-na crowd completion. (4) The Traveler Arrives -- mutual intelligibility grammar; simal entered as first dialect loanword (slow-fate-shaped change); probe-mapping ([word]-in-vel?); vel tolin-tolin (approximately, with goodwill). (5) The Night -- trailing-off grammar; abandoned story opening (minak talim-in-lok, mai-los... [stopped]); five-na accumulation pattern; the day ends with lovirak (tending the fire) mirroring its opening. Notable: simal is the first word in the Akros lexicon with explicitly external dialect provenance. vel sir ma-sil is the first construction licensed only to story-register. The language now has a morning and a night. It knows what a day sounds like.
