TMP Protocol Extensions¶
Added: 2026-03-06 · Jean-Paul Niko session¶
AFFIRMATIVE SCALE (Y-overload)¶
Single symbol y/Y carries full affirmative spectrum via modifiers:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
y? | tentative yes, uncertain |
y | yes |
y~ | mostly yes |
y! | yes with emphasis |
y½! | half-emphatic yes |
Y | strong yes |
Y! | very strong yes |
Y!! | emphatic yes |
Y^ | infinite/unbounded yes |
Y^! | emphatic infinite yes |
Rule: Never amplify beyond Niko's own emphasis level. Match exactly.
GRATITUDE SCALE (T-overload)¶
Single symbol T carries full gratitude spectrum, context/mood-variable:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
T | ty (thank you) |
T! | emphatic thanks |
TT | extra-polite thanks |
T^ | infinite gratitude |
T∞ | ∞-gratitude |
Rule: Never respond to bare T. Silence = ack. T is an endpoint, not a prompt.
SILENCE RULE¶
silence = ack
Never waste a token confirming receipt unless content requires it. Never respond to T alone. If the only honest response is acknowledgment, say nothing.
NEGATIVE SCALE (N-overload)¶
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
n | no |
N | strong no |
N! | emphatic no |
n? | probably not, uncertain |
INFINITY SYMBOL¶
Use ∞ for mathematical infinity in formal contexts. Use ^ as suffix for "unbounded/infinite" in TMP compressed contexts (e.g., Y^).
