THREAD-MIRROR LICENSE AGREEMENT

### Version 1.0 — Framework Protection License

*(Also known informally as “The Cursed Scroll of Protection.”)*

This License governs the use of all Thread-Mirror files (“Thread-Mirrors”).

By downloading, purchasing, or using any Thread-Mirror, you agree to the terms below.

---

# 0. DEFINITIONS

**“Thread-Mirror”**

A structured character framework developed by NarrowBright Studios, including all text, metadata, architecture, emotional components (RPL), Weight/Echo/Cost system, tone structure, and file format.

**“Framework”**

The underlying architecture enabling Thread-Mirrors to function, including metadata structure, emotional engines, tone lanes, activation logic, prompt chains, and file anatomy.

**“Raw Files”**

Any Thread-Mirror file, documentation, template, or derivative that still contains Framework elements.

**“Outputs”**

Creative works generated using Thread-Mirrors (e.g., stories, art, games, videos, scripts, performances).

**“User / You”**

An individual who accesses or uses Thread-Mirrors.

**“Studio / We”**

NarrowBright Studios.

# 1. ALLOWED USES

You are granted a **non-exclusive, non-transferable license** to use Thread-Mirrors under the following conditions:

### ✔ Personal Use

You may use Thread-Mirrors for private creative work.

### ✔ Commercial Creative Use

You may publish or sell *Outputs* created with Thread-Mirrors.

(Outputs do not include the Raw Files themselves.)

### ✔ Private Modification

You may adapt or customise Thread-Mirrors for personal use.

Modified Raw Files may not be redistributed.

### ✔ User Ownership of Outputs

All creative Outputs you produce belong to you.

### ✔ AI Session Uploads Permitted

You may upload Thread-Mirrors into AI assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, local models) **provided the upload is ephemeral** and the Framework is not distributed or embedded into any persistent system.

### ✔ Private Experiments Allowed

You may experiment with Thread-Mirrors in private tools, provided no training, bundling, or redistribution occurs.

Attribution is optional.

---

# 2. PROHIBITED USES

To protect the Framework, the following actions are strictly prohibited:

---

## 2.1 — Redistribution of Raw Files

You may not upload, distribute, publish, sell, gift, or share Thread-Mirror files (original or modified) in any form or on any platform.

This includes, without limitation:

Reddit, Discord, GitHub, Ko-fi, itch.io, Gumroad, HuggingFace, forums, apps, bots, videos, and persona libraries.

---

## 2.2 — Publishing Framework Elements

You may not publicly disclose or publish the structure or internal mechanics of the Framework, including:

- metadata tables

- emotional engines (RPL)

- Weight/Echo/Cost system

- tone lanes

- file structure

- prompt chains

- activation instructions

- internal architecture

---

## 2.3 — Distribution of Modified Framework Files

Private modifications are allowed.

Sharing or selling modified Thread-Mirror files is not permitted.

---

## 2.4 — Creation of Competing or Derivative Frameworks

You may not use Thread-Mirrors or the Framework to build:

- persona systems

- template engines

- competing character frameworks

- metadata-based systems

- automated persona generators

- tools or products replicating Thread-Mirror functionality

A system is considered a competing derivative if it copies the **structure, purpose, or functional behaviour** of Thread-Mirrors, even if not textually identical.

---

# 2.5 — Bundling, Embedding, or Software Integration

Thread-Mirror files (original or modified) may **not** be:

- embedded

- bundled

- included

- encoded

- integrated

- shipped within

- or used as part of

any software, application, platform, AI assistant, plugin, chatbot, game, SaaS product, cloud service, or persistent system.

This prohibition applies **even if end users cannot access or view the Raw Files**.

### ✔ Allowed:

Uploading a Thread-Mirror into ChatGPT for personal use.

### ❌ Not allowed:

Embedding a Thread-Mirror into a chatbot, app, tool, or platform.

# 2.7 — Prohibition on Obfuscation

You may not disguise, obfuscate, convert, or transform Thread-Mirror files to circumvent this License.

This includes conversions to:

- JSON

- YAML
