This book is our own production, made with Brainfusion’s local AI flow. The director (pi) distills the English source directly into an English essence — per chapter a core scene, a metaphor and the source logic — and the local AI then writes native English, without a separate translation step. The story was generated by deepseek-v4-flash (cloud) following a creative brief (narrative non-fiction, 40–50% dialogue, show-don’t-tell, cliffhangers, no moralizing). The illustrations are made with FLUX.1-dev (ComfyUI) in Ghibli style, with PuLID for face consistency — Ms. Vega is the face anchor. Per chapter, qwen3-vl:4b-instruct generates the scene from the chapter text. The story is based on chapter 12, “The Real Meaning of Independence,” from the book Reportage by James Corbett (corbettreport.com). We have no affiliation with James Corbett or his website. We thank James for his inspiring work, which we are honoured to build upon. Everything runs on our own hardware — no external AI service, no account, no data leaving the door.
