Literary scenarios from Dostoevsky and Kafka as benchmarks for a cognitive dissonance engine.

Strengths

•Mutual-inhibition drive network with 18 affective drives is a genuinely novel modeling approach.
•102 literary and ethical scenarios provide rigorous, reproducible benchmarking methodology.
•Explicit epistemological framing avoids consciousness claims while measuring decision complexity.

Weaknesses

•Extremely niche audience — cognitive science researchers, not general developers.
•Zero stars and forks suggests either very new or limited community traction.
