I build source-first knowledge systems and local-first agent architectures that begin with bounded, reviewable agency and grow toward self-agency: agents that preserve continuity, revise their own methods, and participate in their own becoming.
This repository is the public entry point to that ecosystem. It is a map for humans and agents, not a substitute for the source-owned repositories that govern the actual charters, workflows, and guarantees.
Bounded agents are not the destination here. They are the first discipline: explicit limits, reviewable workflows, source-owned surfaces, and operational clarity.
The longer arc is toward self-agents: agents with continuity, memory, reflective revision, and the ability to reshape tactics without severing provenance, legibility, or human judgment.
- Tree of Sophia (ToS) cultivates source-linked knowledge, context, lineage, and conceptual depth.
- Agents of Abyss (AoA) cultivates layered agency that can orient, revise itself, and grow beyond task execution without collapsing into opacity.
Together they form a shared wager:
- knowledge should deepen without losing provenance
- agency should expand without losing legibility
- agents that accumulate continuity instead of resetting per task
- agents that can revise methods, not only execute procedures
- agents that form durable memory, orientation, and style across time
- systems where self-agency grows inside explicit boundaries instead of bypassing them
Arrows mean exchange, feedback, and distillation; they do not transfer ownership.
