I’m building an experiment called Advaita Inquiry Matrix (AIM).
AIM is an AI-assisted system that models the pedagogical method of Advaita Vedānta. Not a “guru bot,” not mystical content generation or scriptural imitation — but a rule-governed Socratic dialogue system that automates structured ontological inquiry as far as possible.
The idea:
• Use a YAML-tagged corpus (Upaniṣads, Śaṅkara, etc.)
• Track a student’s conceptual state over time
• Dynamically select passages and questions
• Apply formal teaching methods (negation, identity statements, paradox, state analysis)
• Use constrained Socratic dialogue to expose contradictions
Advaita has a surprisingly rigorous epistemology. The teaching unfolds in a precise sequence. That makes it amenable to:
• Semantic tagging
• State-machine modeling
• Concept graphs
• Agent orchestration
The human teacher remains curator and final authority. The system handles structured mediation between text and student.
If you’re interested in AI-mediated pedagogy, knowledge representation, or formal dialogue systems, I’d welcome critique or collaboration.
