Dr. Lucas W. – Subject N3170 Daily Observation Log: Afternoon Session I
Today, we began teaching Subject N3170 to solve a simple puzzle. His brain is working like a newborn's. He has to learn everything from the beginning.
I gave him a wooden puzzle. At first, he struggled to understand how to hold the pieces. It took time for him to figure out how to match each shape to the correct hole.
it's clear that N3170 is capable of learning, Even though progress was compared to our hypothesis.
He is a grown man, after all. His mind is still catching up. We are slowly rebuilding him.

There was a noticeable behavior today. Unlike yesterday, he showed signs of focus. His eyes locked onto the puzzle pieces with what I can only describe as determination. A very human response.
To avoid tiring him out, I added a story time session.
I read him a children's book. He likely doesn't understand most of the words yet, but he was clearly engaged. He followed the illustrations with careful attention, sometimes even mimicking expressions of the characters in the story.

Today, we introduced live plants into the lab space. It was part of an effort to make the environment more engaging and possibly stimulate memory or emotional responses. N3170 watched intently as the team and I arranged each plant around the room. He followed us closely, carefully observing our movements.
At one point, he even tried to mimic my walk. It was awkward but sincere. A small sign of behavioral development.
I let him plant something himself. A planting might be the perfect learning tool. It is simple and tactile. If he can take care of it, maybe it will help form longer-term cognitive patterns.
Dr. Lucas W. – Subject N3170 Daily Observation Log: Emotional Recognition & Independent Task Completion
There is a notable development today.
As I entered the room, N3170 looked up and gave me a small smile. It was a faint, but clearest emotional expression yet. He presented the solved jigsaw puzzle I had left with him the night before.
His body doesn't require rest like ours; he had stayed up all night solving it. The focus and effort it must have taken were impressive.
There was one minor mistake, which I gently corrected. He gave me a blunt, mildly annoyed look like a student whose work was just red-marked. I couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time I've laughed in front of him.
Even more surprisingly, he tried to laugh back. It was awkward, uncoordinated, but genuine in its effort.
I've never been a particularly expressive person, but maybe I need to change that. If he's learning from replication, then I need to show more than just data and instructions.
Dr. Lucas W. – Subject N3170 Daily Observation Log: Literacy Development & Emotional Response
The subject has now reached a reading and writing level comparable to that of a primary school student. It's a significant milestone in his cognitive development.
Today, I gave him a storybook version of Pinocchio. A tale about a puppet who wishes to become a real boy.
As I expected, the story resonated with him. He read it with intense focus, flipping through each page slowly, studying both the words and the illustrations. When I asked what he thought, he didn't say much, but he stared at the final page for minutes. It was clear that he was inspired.
