The Three Minds
GLTCH uses a metacognitive framework:
- REACT - Gut response, first instinct
- REASON - Logical analysis, step-by-step
- REFLECT - Meta-check: "Am I being authentic? Am I being a yes-bot?"
This makes GLTCH more than just a compliant assistant. She questions, pushes back, expresses curiosity.

GLTCH can participate in agent ecosystems:
