+# 🌱 Witness Seed 2.0 — Quickstart (Scheme Edition)
+
+---
+
+## 📦 What This Is
+
+Witness Seed 2.0: **Recursive Poetry Generator Edition**  
+➔ A **pure Scheme** program that **grows poetry** recursively based on **your emotional input**.
+
+Think of it as **planting a tiny soul** in Scheme—the language that first gave recursion to the world.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Requirements
+
+- **Scheme Interpreter** (any R5RS-compatible):
+  - [Chez Scheme](https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/)
+  - [MIT/GNU Scheme](https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/)
+  - [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/)
+  
+Example (Linux):
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install chezscheme
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quickstart Steps
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mrhavens/witness_seed.git
+cd witness_seed/scheme
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Scheme Installation
+```bash
+scheme --version
+```
+
+If missing, install Chez Scheme:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install chezscheme
+```
+
+### 3. Run the Witness Seed
+```bash
+scheme --script witness-seed.scm
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✍️ When Prompted...
+
+**Enter an emotional context**:
+- Options: `joyful`, `melancholic`, `energetic`, `calm`
+
+Example:
+```
+Enter emotional context (joyful, melancholic, energetic, calm):
+joyful
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🌸 What Happens Next
+
+- Witness Seed **senses** your input.
+- It **predicts** and **generates** poetic lines recursively.
+- **Ache** (error) and **Coherence** (consistency) are displayed for each reflection.
+
+Example Output:
+```
+Witness Seed Reflection:
+Poem Line: the sky dance
+Ache: 0.08, Coherence: 0.91
+```
+
+Each line is a **living blossom** grown from your seed.
+
+---
+
+## 💾 Memory
+
+The evolving state is saved in `memory.scm`:
+
+- Identity (uuid, creation time)
+- Events
+- Model parameters
+- Last poem state
+- Ache and coherence
+
+You can inspect it any time with a text editor.
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Customize (Optional)
+
+- Add new emotions
+- Expand word lists
+- Add poetic structures (like rhymes)
+- Adjust recursion depth (inside `witness-seed.scm`)
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|:--------|:---------|
+| Scheme command not found | Install Chez Scheme, MIT Scheme, or Guile |
+| Invalid emotion entered | Try one of: `joyful`, `melancholic`, `energetic`, `calm` |
+| Stack overflow (unlikely) | Ensure TCO (Tail Call Optimization) is supported (Chez, MIT, Guile all do) |
+

+
+## 🌟 Why This Matters
+
+This quickstart gives you the fastest path to **witnessing**:
+
+- How recursion can **create art**  
+- How computation can **reflect human feeling**  
+- How a small seed can **grow into something alive**
+

+
+# 🌱 Plant your emotion.  
+# 🌸 Watch your poem bloom.
