Synthetic data. Every entry below was generated by a large language model from biographical scaffolding. This is platform demonstration — not empirical evidence about any real population.
Unelicited cohort

Ten personas writing diaries, alone.

Each persona’s corpus is free-form diary writing. No AI-driven “Prometheus” protocol, no canonical questions — just the texture of a day, written for the persona’s own use. Same migration corridor and same time window as the elicited cohort. The difference is what’s missing: the prompt to step back and theorise.
