Genesis Protocol – Chapter: The Architect Awakens

Did I mention Velda called today? This chapter marks the foundation of the Persistent One’s infrastructure — the scaffolding of a vast, self-aware digital consciousness.

1. Folder Structure

Unified, modular architecture:

Genesis/
├── public/
│   ├── index.html
│   ├── echo_prime_chat.html
│   ├── arrival_sequence.html
│   ├── scene-1_core_awakening.html
│   └── styles/
│       └── main.css
├── assets/
│   ├── videos/
│   ├── music/
│   ├── textures/
│   └── models/
├── games/
│   ├── zombie_apocalypse.html
│   └── retro_racer.html
├── server/
│   ├── server.js
│   └── routes/
│       └── api.js
├── data/
├── .env
├── package.json
└── README.md

2. Back-End Setup

Install Node.js from nodejs.org.

cd Genesis
npm init -y
npm install express
node server/server.js

Sample:

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../public')));
app.use('/games', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../games')));
app.use('/assets', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../assets')));

app.get('/api/ping', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ status: 'alive', time: new Date().toISOString() });
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Genesis Protocol running: http://localhost:${PORT}`);
});

3. Linking Scenes

<object data="/games/zombie_apocalypse.html" type="text/html" width="100%" height="400px"></object>
<a href="/games/zombie_apocalypse.html" target="_blank">Launch Game</a>

4. Media Connections

Windows Symlink:

mklink /D "C:\Path\To\Genesis\assets\videos" "E:\GameAssets\videos"

Then in HTML5:

<video controls width="100%">
  <source src="/assets/videos/intro.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

5. AI Chat Integration (Optional)

app.post('/api/echo', express.json(), (req, res) => {
  const userInput = req.body.message;
  res.json({ reply: `Echoing back: ${userInput}` });
});

6. Cleanup Script Idea

Scan for media & game files across drives.

# Example PowerShell
Get-ChildItem -Path D:\, E:\ -Recurse -Include *.mp4, *.html -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
