Immortality as an engineering problem

The difference between an idea and a problem is that a problem has numbers and assumptions. These analyses bring both to the surface.

Protocols and engineering

Twenty dollars for forever

Where the claim comes from that one payment covers permanent storage: 10 GB of memory a year, $2 per gigabyte, disk prices falling 30 % annually. Plus epistemic drift and the node vote at the fifty-one per cent rule.

Manifesto and engineering

A philosophy with a budget

A text that begins with Fedorov and Vernadsky and ends with router percentages, Kryder's law and dates running to 2030. We test whether it survives the change of register — and why what holds it up is not the slogans but four caveats placed where silence would have paid better.

Protocols and engineering

Who authorises a machine to rewrite itself

An analysis of Proof-of-Evolution: three threats from self-modifying code — a backdoor, a hang, and drift away from ethical constraints. The first two are closed by a sandbox and a proof; the third cannot be closed by checking a step.

Models and attention

A formula with a footnote

The CODE Koan and the Galatin Effect read along one line: where the checkable ends in this article and the declared begins. The detonation tensor, LSH signatures, a fifty-one per cent threshold, and the author's notes that change the standing of whole chapters.

Memory and protocols

The PADAM cadence

The protocol read through a single quantity: how often memory is pushed into permanent storage. The famous quarter-hour turns out to be the rhythm of the middle tier, and the roadmap keeps the finished carefully apart from the promised.
