Picture book
A whole city in eight pages
Hear it once like a five-year-old. The real source names are tucked under every page.
01
A brick city that can move
Imagine a huge box of bricks. Some can talk, some open doors, and some keep a journal. DeepSeek hands the whole city to a caretaker called dsh. The caretaker does not do the jobs itself—it assembles the bricks from a set of instructions.
02
The baseplate is called Cordis
Bricks need a baseplate to stay together. This one is called Cordis. A brick can announce, ‘I provide the brain’ or ‘I provide the hands.’ Pull it out, and the traces it registered disappear with it.
03
Choose a toy box first
Before setting out, choose a box. The web box has a window; the headless box finishes one job and goes home. Each box contains layered bags. The first is always dsh-base, with the brain, hands, journal, and fence.
04
The journal is the source of truth
Everything the agent does goes into a journal that only grows forward. Thoughts, words, and actions are written down first. Close it and reopen it—the story is still there. If the model can see it, it has already been logged.
05
A conversation turn is like homework
You ring the bell with followup, and the caretaker opens a turn. It claims the notes on the desk, lets the hall monitors check them, asks the model to think, runs tools, then thinks again until the work is complete.
06
A socket can move to another room
A lamp keeps the same plug whether it is at home or in a cloud playroom. The lamp does not change. But its hands, feet, and glasses must move together because they share one room.
07
The window is made of plugins too
The web page is not a separate building. The house has a quiet mailbox (webserver), a receptionist (apiproxy), and a browser that assembles its own small Cordis city. The chat box, sidebar, and settings are pictures pinned into slots.
08
Pictures go into a drawer first
The robot can look at pictures now. But a picture is never glued into the journal—it is filed in a drawer by its fingerprint, and the journal keeps only a slip with the number on it. Next time the same picture comes up, the caretaker takes the one already in the drawer instead of developing it again.
