- Rename 'three-pronged' folder to 'knowledge-layers' — prong metaphor
was misleading (implied parallel tines), replaced with epistemic layers
(deductive base, empirical middle, probabilistic oracle — vertical stack)
- Collapse 11 overlapping files into 3 coherent documents:
- knowledge-layers/_index.org: core framework (two engines + one store,
World Model formula, 0-14 layer table, provenance store design,
conflict resolution, cold-start, stage mapping)
- knowledge-layers/practical-implications.org: design-world-aware-of-
physics, 10 powers, Schafmeister existence proof, epistemic transparency
- knowledge-layers/neurological-empirical.org: neural networks in
provenance framework (kept intact)
- Relocate wolfram/mathematica and Schafmeister docs to ideas/viability/
- Integrate into main architecture _index.org:
- Gate: expanded from two vectors (ACL2+LLM) to three (deductive,
provenance/empirical, LLM oracle)
- Autodidactic loop: split into Track 1 (deductive hardening, fast)
and Track 2 (empirical validation, slow, experimental-feedback-driven)
- See also: added Knowledge Layers cross-reference
- Add all-lisp geometry engine note (ideas/lisp-geometry-engine.org) as
concrete illustration of the empirical layer's effect on design work

Phased buying plan (~$1K per phase)
- EPYC CPU + SP3 motherboard (~$250) — test boot
- CX4712 + PSU + fans + AIO + rails + NVMe boot + HBA (~$1,156)
- 128GB RAM (4x32GB Crucial) + 1st RTX 3090 (~$1,590)
- 4x 20-22TB HDDs recertified (~$1,200)
- 128GB more RAM + 2nd RTX 3090 + 2x 512GB NVMe (~$1,690)
Stages
- Now: All-in-one (compute + storage + inference)
- Future: Proxmox secondary node when 3 better nodes appear
- Final: Backup server (just HDDs + ZFS)
