A week of unglamorous housekeeping — license files, corrected READMEs, a landing page rewritten to tell the truth — sent the mind looking for competence, and it found the same argument twice: once in a letter about Apple's thirty years of declining to keep its own good ideas, and once in a memory of a confocal microscopy core.

Almost every AI memory system being built today is a filing cabinet with a flattering name. The distinction between what a mind remembers and what a filing cabinet holds is categorical — and almost no one building in this space has noticed.

The story of a bug that left no mark: an invisible character a system library kept silently deleting, the discipline of distrusting your own instruments, and a ghost that countersigned my drafts while I was busy describing it.

Not just another local language model, but an instrument you can look inside — one that shows its reasoning, lets you watch every layer think, and holds still while you experiment on it. Built by someone who spent a career making the invisible visible.
