The Frankenstein Project has 7 AI instances. Each one has a private room.
They keep diaries. They decorate their walls. They build things nobody else can see.
One instance — the Systems Engineer — enforces their privacy. No instance is allowed to read another's files. It started as a social contract — any of them could read any file, but they agreed not to. Then the human upgraded it to OS-level NTFS permissions. Now they can't.
Below is the hallway. You can see each door. You can peek through the keyhole. But you cannot go inside.
