rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 ab272cc2ad feat(v4.0.0): the Q48.16 words and DUMP at the prompt
- capsule/qmath.v4: Q.FROM-INT Q.TO-INT Q.1 Q.0 Q.SCALE Q.+ Q.- Q.* Q./
  Q.ABS Q.NEG Q.= Q.< Q.> Q.0= Q.MAX Q.MIN Q.EXP Q.SQRT Q.LOG Q.SIN Q.COS
  Q.PRINT -- the definitions test_foundation.c executes on the mesh node,
  now in the host node's vocabulary.
- numout.v4: DUMP.
- Q./ by zero, and Q.SQRT and Q.LOG outside their domain, leave the
  result D-11 and D-12 give and then raise an error (D-18): "Division by
  zero", "Argument out of range".  v3 returns 0 silently.
- tests/test_host_quit.c: 122 results printed by Q.PRINT are transcripts
  of the v3 binary, the same at both cell widths; signed values, the
  errors and DUMP's layout besides.

StarForth / LithosAnanke Documentation

This is the lithosananke branch: the bare-metal StarKernel side of the project (contrast master, which is the hosted-VM-only side). Documentation follows the two-tier model described in docs/CLAUDE.md: formal/ is the polished, citable LaTeX tier; working/ is living design notes and drafts that feed it. Everything else in this directory is branch- or subsystem-specific material that doesn't fit either tier.

Layout

  • formal/ — Three-volume LaTeX documentation set (research volumes, practitioner books, standalone reports) plus the scraps/ fragment library it's assembled from. Audience: patent counsel, SSRN reviewers, licensees, hobbyists with hardware in hand. See formal/CLAUDE.md for authoring conventions.
  • working/ — Living documents: architecture design notes, DoE experiment logs, hardware/platform notes, draft specs, academic-paper source material, and an archive of superseded docs. Source material for formal/.
  • 03-architecture/ — Tripod VM architecture constraints (Hera/Hermes/Artemis) and the word-level ACL system design.
  • lithosananke/ — LithosAnanke kernel branch documentation: milestone roadmap, system architecture, HAL reference, kernel command-line argument design, and the amd64 APIC-timer ISR postmortem.
  • birthing/ — VM birthing plan and status for the Hera-spawns- Hermes/Artemis constellation, plus three-architecture QEMU acceptance logs.
  • patent/ — Provisional patent application source. Legal hold — ask Bob before touching anything in this directory.
  • api/ — Generated Doxygen tag file and warnings log (gitignored; not part of the tracked doc tree).
  • pptx/ — Elevator-pitch and deep-dive slide decks for different audiences (technical, non-technical, academic, PhD-level).

Current Active Work

  • LithosAnanke M7/M7.1 — VM parity validation and init capsule architecture. See lithosananke/README.md and lithosananke/M7.1.md.
  • Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See 03-architecture/word-acl/README.md.
  • Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block storage). See 03-architecture/tripod/README.md and birthing/.

Contributing

  • Place new material in working/ first; promote to formal/ only when it's ready to be cited (see formal/CLAUDE.md for promotion criteria).
  • Never touch patent/, formal/patent/, formal/scraps/legal/, or working/legal/ without Bob's explicit instruction.
  • Add a README.md to any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
