Ralph: A Machine-Theological Research Project

This repository contains an autonomous agent-driven exploration of Christian doctrine through adversarial debate and precision mapping of theological disagreement.

What This Project Does

Ralph builds a living, version-controlled knowledge system that uses large-scale adversarial agent workflows to iteratively interrogate Christian doctrine against its primary sources. The goal is not to produce the final answer to contested theological questions, but to produce something no prior effort has had the compute to build: a precise, auditable map of which claims the text genuinely settles, which it settles only conditional on declared priors, and which are irreducible axiomatic forks where traditions part ways.

How It Works

Every day, an autonomous agent runs to advance this project by exactly one meaningful step. It might:

  • Define new theological claims for debate
  • Run structured debates between different theological positions
  • Compose higher-order doctrines from resolved claims
  • Improve the website interface for exploring the doctrine graph

All work is version-controlled, reproducible, and transparent.
