#+title: Passepartout — Architecture Section Index
#+filetags: :passepartout:index:

This section documents the Passepartout architecture: the staged build-out from conventional computing through verified infrastructure, the subsystems, and the systemic effects of verification becoming the default.

**Architecture overviews:**
- [[id:1c3ec48b-446c-50d2-b53e-126a81f5143f][Architecture index]] — Passepartout architecture, market, revenue paths
- [[id:a1fac32a-47de-5fbd-b67d-29152c851747][Architecture overview]] — the three subsystems at a glance
- [[id:42c86e6f-4f27-4993-8238-b7bc7d15fb7b][Environment subsystem]] — the Lisp image, editor, browser, shell, hardware

**Staged roadmap (progressive capability layers):**
Each stage covers: what is added, what threats are eliminated, what it costs, when it is viable.

| Stage | Delivers | Key cost | Timeline |
|-------+----------+----------+----------|
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc1-4def-9876-543210abcdef][0 — Now]] | Baseline: conventional computing | Patching treadmill, no deductive guarantees | Today |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc2-4def-9876-543210abcdef][1 — Social Protocol]] | Communication integrity, provable DAG | Crypto overhead, key management | Today |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc3-4def-9876-543210abcdef][2 — Verification]] | Verified gate, capability auth | Policy formalization burden | Today (limited) |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc4-4def-9876-543210abcdef][3 — Lisp Machine]] | Lisp image, Merkle memory, no kernel | Lisp tax, no backward compat, single address space | 2-5yr (soft) / 5-10yr (ASIC) |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc5-4def-9876-543210abcdef][4 — Inference]] | In-process LLM, token interception | ~10x compute/RAM/storage | Server now; consumer 3-5yr |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc6-4def-9876-543210abcdef][5 — Weights]] | Plist-native weights, weight-level provenance | ~100x GPU / ~2-5x ASIC | GPU hybrid now; ASIC 5-10yr |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc7-4def-9876-543210abcdef][6 — Training]] | Verified fine-tuning, neural world model | ~100x fine-tuning only | 3-5yr fine-tuning |
| [[id:4a1f23b0-abc8-4def-9876-543210abcdef][7 — Remaining]] | Physical threats, oracles, speculation, bootstrap axiom | Mitigations are non-computational | Forever |
