MESH.md step 4, the fault found there, as ruled (section 7a): a node writes only to a neighbour that is reading, keeps what it takes in meanwhile, and loses and counts what it has no room for. Engine: two more addresses after a node's ports -- which ports have a neighbour waiting to write to it, which to read from it. Nucleus: (GATE) before every message; the messages waiting, a ring of 400 cells, dealt with when the node is idle. Of two neighbours the lower number may wait to write (ruled after it was built); NEIGHBOUR tells a node who is on each port. test_host_mesh.c, 44 checks: the case that stopped the nodes passes; six messages from each node to each at once all arrive; 800 at once, the nodes come to rest and every message arrived or was counted (287 arrived, 714 of all kinds let go). test_fabric.c: the two looks. Both widths, ASan+UBSan. POST: twelve cases handed HERE, a cell address on v4, to words that take a byte address, and so wrote into or read from the nucleus's code at cell HERE/4. Ruled: left out, marked OPEN, until HERE and the byte words are made to agree as its own step. POST is 538 cases. hosted-check on three ISAs, 538/538. Bare metal: logs/20261006-134817 (amd64), -135044 (aarch64), -135440 (riscv64). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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. Seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor 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material, and an archive of superseded docs.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.mdandlithosananke/M7.1.md. - Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on
master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See03-architecture/word-acl/README.md. - Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block
storage). See
03-architecture/tripod/README.mdandbirthing/.
Contributing
- Place new material in
working/first; promote toformal/only when it's ready to be cited (seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor promotion criteria). - Never touch
patent/,formal/patent/,formal/scraps/legal/, orworking/legal/without Bob's explicit instruction. - Add a
README.mdto any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
