Papers¶
The Dialectical Engine¶
Multi-Agent Falsification in Scientific Software Development
How five AI agents and a human domain expert used dialectical analysis to debug a neural network — and discovered that the failure record was more valuable than the model.
From Nanometers to Neurons¶
Applying Semiconductor Process Control to Machine Learning
CLCA/8D methodology from semiconductor manufacturing applied to neural network development. Eight architectural dead ends, each with a documented root cause.
Sovereign Infrastructure for Citizen Science¶
Building a Self-Hosted Research Lab for Radio Propagation Analysis
How a self-hosted lab processes 14.68 billion rows on commodity hardware — 24.67 Mrps ingestion, 60 GB/s query throughput, 30 tok/s local LLM inference — at 1.3% of equivalent cloud cost.
Who Says Hermits Don't Have Friends¶
The Human Story Behind a Sovereign AI Lab
The non-technical story of building IONIS. Five AI agents, a 96 GB GPU, a Thunderbolt cable, and a callsign. The hermit has more collaborators than most startups.
