Architecture
Architecture overview — narrative introduction, staged build-out, systemic effects, and the analytical frames that justify the design.
Architecture — the narrative introduction to the project.
Staged roadmap:
| Stage | Delivers | Key cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 — Now | Baseline: conventional computing | Patching treadmill, no deductive guarantees | Today |
| 1 — Social Protocol | Communication integrity, provable DAG | Crypto overhead, key management | Today |
| 2 — Verification | Verified gate, capability auth | Policy formalization burden | Today (limited) |
| 3 — Lisp Machine | Lisp image, Merkle memory, no kernel | Lisp tax, no backward compat, single address space | 2-5yr (soft) / 5-10yr (ASIC) |
| 4 — Inference | In-process LLM, token interception | ~10x compute/RAM/storage | Server now; consumer 3-5yr |
| 5 — Weights | Plist-native weights, weight-level provenance | ~100x GPU / ~2-5x ASIC | GPU hybrid now; ASIC 5-10yr |
| 6 — Training | Verified fine-tuning, neural world model | ~100x fine-tuning only | 3-5yr fine-tuning |
| 7 — Remaining | Physical threats, oracles, speculation, bootstrap axiom | Mitigations are non-computational | Forever |
Systemic analysis:
- Systemic effects over time — how verification cascades across society, economics, and geopolitics
Key analytical frames:
- Investment thesis — the unified view
- Why Lisp is economically viable now — zero marginal cost
- The per-domain sufficiency flip
- Development velocity and timeline estimates
- Competitive barriers — moats and infrastructure lock-in
Revenue streams: Total addressable market: ~$960B/year across cloud, AI, OS, social media, payments, productivity, and compliance. The business model is the AWS of provable computing: AGPL infrastructure is free, revenue comes from verification appliances, gate rules, certification, namespace registry, hosted PDS, and a compute marketplace.
Short to long term:
- Verification appliance — certified Lisp Machine at scale
- Domain gate packages — compliance encoded as gate rules
- Evaluation harness / certification monopoly — UL for AI
- PDS as a service — hosted personal data stores
- Compute marketplace — verified compute cycles
Strategy and IP:
