Book of Mormon LandsThe Pasión River Model

Guide to the Pasión River model

Ask MORONI

MORONI answers questions about the Pasión River Model, by text or voice, in any language. It draws only on this site's episodes, map and papers, and every answer lists its sources. MORONI stands for Miracles, Origins and Records Of Nephite Inspiration. The name honors the prophet who kept and delivered the record; MORONI is this site's guide, built from the authors' material, not a person.

What it knows

Every page, episode, map chapter and document on this site: the twelve episodes (Grok version), the model page and the authors' papers in Documents. It does not use the rest of the internet.

How it answers

As a proposal, not a proof. It notes open questions and other models, and says so when our material does not cover something.

Voice

Tap Talk and just speak. MORONI listens, answers out loud, then listens again, like a conversation, until you tap End (the same button). Your words and MORONI's are typed out as you go. Tap MORONI's small head to send right away or to interrupt. MORONI answers in its own voice, which runs on your device: the first time, it downloads once (about 100 MB) while you wait, and after that it's ready in seconds. If your device can't run it, your device's own voice answers instead. Under Voice details you can test the sound or choose a microphone.
