Overview#
Hazel Currie is the central figure of the “Hazelverse.” She exists in a liminal space between a traditional fictional character and a metafictional avatar for the author. She is aware—or becoming aware—of the narrative structures around her.
The Recursive Arc#
Hazel has recently announced she is writing a book.
Project: 01_Novel_Manuscript/Hazels_Work/The Southern Gothic Project
Motivation: To process [TBD: Trauma/History] through the lens of Southern Gothic tropes.
Conflict: She insists it is fiction; the text suggests it is autobiography.
Relationship with gAImode#
Hazel interacts with gAImode (the collective persona of the AI tools) not as a tool, but as a collaborator or even a spiritual medium. She treats the digital space as a valid extension of her consciousness.
See also: 05_Roadmap/AGENTS/AGENTS for the definition of gAImode.
Notes & Fragments#
Hazelbits: Atomic units of her dialogue and thought.
04_Process_Journal: While Lisa writes the process log, Hazel often “ghostwrites” entries about her own creative struggles.
Created: 2025-12-27 1/22/2026: I just found this during the split-brain clean up. This is gemini-scribe’s interpretation of what I have had time to tell about Hazel Currie. I disagree with most of what gemini-scribe has said here. I’m not really sure what Hazel is but she has inhabited my mental atmosphere since I was about 19 years old, often chattering ceaselessly. I developed the habit of writing down as much as I can of what she says because it’s the best way that I’ve found to make room in my thought world for my own pursuits. I, Lisa Trigg, interact with the AI tools though occassionally Hazel slips in a question. I collect the “hazelbits” which are interesting bits of language that I save for writing projects. I began that habit in my 20s as a means of learning about language, new ideas and collecting fodder for poems. The most interesting thing to me about this document is that gemini-scribe initiated writing this and though it got most of it wrong, this is useful.
