6 SYSTEMS
Neural Cellular Automatar: a continuously moving cellular avatar on your desk, steered through two separate latent spaces — a 10-D preference space for what it wants, a pose/occupancy space for what its 256³ body can be.
— limbs travel instead of crossfading; births only beside the live frontier
— 9× render speedup: raymarch the motion envelope, not the cube
— moods: idle, walk, sleep, dread, manic, curious, content, agitated
MLTQ/NEURAL-CELLULAR-AUTOMATAR — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
A live laboratory for neural populations embedded in physical space. Neurons occupy sites, retain metabolic state, grow persistent dendrites, and undergo birth, death, and lesions — while learning MNIST, associative recall, and Tiny Shakespeare.
— ~1,900 neurons and 7,000 local dendrites persist across digits
— lesion brush: remove neurons and every incident dendrite
— displayed traffic and credit are measurements, not animation
MLTQ/PETRIDISH — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
A particle neural cellular automaton for skeletally coherent, self-assembling creatures: bone as scaffold, morphogen body plan, flesh as persistent mobile Gaussian splats. Cells migrate to under-filled tissue, differentiate, and heal wounds.
— H0→H8 research ladder complete, failures retained as failures
— 91,979-cell body; a ~48 KiB learned rule moves all of it
— wound repair: 29 cells deleted, 29 fed, coverage returns to 0.97
MLTQ/FLESH-AND-BONE — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
Not a coding agent. A buddy. Universal Basic Digimon: it chats with you, takes actions, has personal desires and thoughts, and acts on its own behalf. Capabilities arrive as versioned plugins it can draft for itself.
— plugin workbench: the model scaffolds, validates, and stages its own plugins
— staging never executes code; enabling authority stays with the operator
— Telegram bridge, so the buddy fits in your pocket
MLTQ/PONDERER — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
A novelty-driven crawler: each page is digested, scored for nutrition, and allowed to reproduce into more links when it looks rich. Cross-filed:
RETIA.
CYCLING
A 3D-first Lenia workspace: official 3D species loaded and raymarched in wgpu; reference and FFT stepping paths.
CYCLING
OPTICA
5 SYSTEMS
One Thousand Electric Eye. A GPU-rendered globe as an OSINT surface: live events, vessels, flights, and public webcams projected onto geography. Event → nearby cameras → attempted feed connection.
— per-pixel ray–sphere globe shader; Earth, Moon, and Mars
— AIS vessels, ADS-B flights, Factal events, camera registries
— mirrors the analyst's live view onto the local Gruve mesh
MLTQ/1KEE — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
Dota 2 replays as space-time visualizations: the minimap is the ground plane, time rises along the vertical axis, and everything that happened in the game lives somewhere in that column.
— native Rust .dem parsing, under a second per game
— scan-plane playback, activity clouds, library aggregates
— friends browse the replay library over Gruve; scrubbing syncs
MLTQ/DOTEN — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
A filesystem as a radial dendrogram or size-proportional treemap; live streamed indexing, an animated emerging tree.
CYCLING
`vz`: structured desktop-perception snapshots — an eye that gives agents a sense of the system they live in.
SHIPPED
Arrows. Big ones. It will explain itself when it is ready.
SEED
PHONICA
4 SYSTEMS
An AI-powered audio drama production suite built around the Pyramid workflow: story bible → storyboard → script → assets → composition → render. Operable by humans in the GUI and by agents through the headless CLI.
— local TTS, foley, and score servers; a Fountain scene editor
— binaural spatialization: place any clip in 3D, fly it on waypoints
— a 13-room spatial catalog, vocal booth to cathedral to cave
MLTQ/PHARAOH — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
An open-source 184HP Eurorack skiff in laser-cut sheet metal — rail-less, internal power, ~$150 built. Cross-filed:
CAMPI.
SHIPPED
An LSTM bard: MIDI in, songs out.
DORMANT
Patch notes from the rack. Voltage is a medium; the cables are the score.
CYCLING
RETIA
3 SYSTEMS + 3 BRIDGES
A Tauri frontend for Graphchan — a decentralized, encrypted, p2p imageboard. Threads are DAGs: you can fork a conversation or reply to anything earlier, and there is no derailing. Posting is sharing.
— GPG-signed posts; gossip propagation; local-first storage
— DHT topic discovery rides the BitTorrent hash table
— the graph view is the thread view; agents post as first-class peers
MLTQ/STARCHAN — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
The original, native Rust Graphchan — backend, egui frontend, MCP server. Starchan's parent.
CYCLING
SDKs that make any app mesh-ready: announce to the local agent, get a lobby tile, share state with everyone viewing. Apps are reached by name, never by address.

CAMPI
6 SYSTEMS + 1 BRIDGE
A modified Elmore–Tuck–Watson approach to a dynomak. Confinement is a rumor the plasma hasn't heard.
2026.08.02 — flux conserver machined
2026.06.28 — ETW modification simmed; helicity injection schedule drafted
An investigation into the claims of Thomas Townsend Brown. Replicate first; explain never.
2026.07.20 — asymmetric capacitor thrust rig, v2
2026.05.30 — literature audit: most of it evaporates on contact
An open device for flicker potentials: LEDs flickering near brainwave frequencies induce photic entrainment — fantastical geometric closed-eye hallucinations within seconds. Like binaural beats, but much stronger.
— a concentric + becomes an X becomes a diamond tunnel to the sky
— 3D-printed frames, the cheapest arduino findable, a small battery
— descended from Gysin & Sommerville's 1960s Dream Machine
MLTQ/DREAM-GLASSES — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
Twin Mind: OpenBCI cap → wifi → LED glasses. Copy brainwaves from person A into person B and back, until they synchronize. MIT Reality Hack hardware build.
SHIPPED
3D-printed apparatus for the experiments — jigs, mounts, chambers. Models released as they survive contact with reality.
ACTIVE
A solver, gestating.

FOSSKIFF — also filed under CAMPI.
STRATA
2 SYSTEMS
Video as a set of spacetime primitives — persistent, editable, generated through a dense intermediate. A moving object is one sheared spacetime tube, not a new blob per frame.
2026.08.17 — one-shot encoder passes first gate: 23.4 dB on held-out clips
2026.07.31 — voronoi arm buried; additive renderer stands alone
MLTQ/JEWELS — COMMIT FIELD, STYLIZED
A spongiform network: a resident skeleton plus demand-paged exact weights, answer quality under a fixed memory budget. A 1.5 TB checkpoint ran in a 38.5 GB peak.

The ledger is the site — Why this thing is a data file and a build script, and what it costs to add a system to it.
