Docs

The work, written down. Append-only.

Each entry tracks the current shipping shape. Where a document was superseded, the prior version is preserved next to it — never overwritten. Visual-canon entries follow the arXiv refinement protocol (Ginsparg, 1991): versions increment sequentially; revisions are never removed.

Architecture & operations

Document Contents
Architecture overview What the system is, in ten minutes. The six substrates, the L0 / L1 / L2 stack, the data flow on every upload, the voice discipline.docs/architecture.md current
Pipeline metrics + SLOs Coverage of common operations, response-time tables, "who hits what" attribution, the golden-path smoke harness, the regression alarms that block ship.docs/PIPELINE-METRICS.md current
Stores scaling How Etsy's per-token bucket and eBay's per-application pool fit under one unified budget facade. Fair-share partitioning, burn-rate alerts, the policy field shown to operators.docs/STORES-SCALING.md current
Production walkthrough The deploy switch. Prod-readiness signups, environment topology, the boring steps that move a build from green to live.docs/PROD-WALKTHROUGH.md current

Research

Document Contents
Loam — bifurcation analysis The dynamical-systems analysis behind Loam — the closed loop that turns usage into a graph that answers the next question for free. The engineering manual ships as PDF; this is the analysis it leans on.research/loam-bifurcation-analysis-v0.1.md research
IP filings packet Patent surfaces, trademark posture, copyright register. What is claimed, what is deliberately left open, and the dates on each filing.research/ip-filings-v0.1.md research
Sakura cognitive map A metaphor — not a claim of mind — that keeps the substrates from drifting into chatbot orientation. Voice, prefrontal cortex, subconscious, world model, shared culture, public face.research/sakura-cognitive-map-v0.1.md research
