Hermes 0a8e77e949 Reorganize brain: projects/ top level, rename filenames, update homepage
- Moved everything from ideas/passepartout/ to projects/passepartout/
- Moved legal structures to projects/flags/
- Created missing _index.org files for all subdirectories
- Stripped redundant passepartout- prefix from filenames
- Rewrote root _index.org as generalized brain index (projects + concepts)
- Updated Hugo nav to Projects/Concepts
- Updated build script section descriptions
- Deleted stale ideas/passepartout-economics.md orphan

Passepartout — Architecture Section 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:

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
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
