- Observed velocity: v0.4.0 to v0.7.2 in one day, 80+ Lisp commits.
Bottleneck is human review of Screamer-flagged 5%, not coding.
- Revised: v1.0.0 in 3-5 weeks (~80 cycles, 2-3h human review).
Lisp Machine hardware in 2-4 weeks (~60 cycles, ~4-6h review).
Full Stoa v2.0.0 (editor, browser, shell) in 2-3 weeks.
Total to self-driving Lisp Machine: 8-12 weeks.
- Beyond bootstrap: system writes Stoa (~150K lines), Agora (~100K),
hardware VHDL (~50K). Human only writes design decisions and
reviews the 5% edge cases Screamer flags.
- The triad replaces every layer of computing: cognition, environment,
network — one gate stack, one prover, no cloud, no gatekeeper,
no per-token fee. A complete alternative infrastructure that
the system writes itself, one ACL2-verified submission at a time.
