No, you can't.

I posted Artoris simply as an attempt to give the discussion started
in <37jpjf$k98@nntp1.u.washington.edu> something concrete -- i.e. real
code that really works -- to talk about. If you want to play with
Artoris, recode him in your favourite language; my intention was that
my code should be sufficiently well documented to make this possible.

If enough people would be interested in playing with the ADE, I'll
post it to the int-fiction archive once it's stable enough in a
commonly available LisP.
