- docs/lithosananke/README.md + ROADMAP.md: correct branch topology (no lithosananke branch post-split; master is the sole line), mark M7.1 as live, and fix build commands (kernel/Makefile, not Makefile.starkernel) - docs/README.md: refresh current active work (Tripod = Hera/Artemis/Hestia, M7.1 live, StarForth v4) and flag INDEX.md as stale - docs/INDEX.md: add dated-snapshot staleness banner - Add TARGET-HAL / OBSOLETE / SUPERSEDED banners to stale HAL, physics, heartbeat, and DoE docs under docs/working/ (annotation only, no deletions)
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material, and an archive of superseded docs.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 and the
word-level ACL system design. (Note: the fleet is now Hera/Artemis/Hestia post-
reshuffle; the old Hera/Hermes/Artemis framing in older docs is historical. The older,
triaged copy of this tree is
working/architecture/03-architecture/.) - 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
⚠
INDEX.mdis a dated triage snapshot (2026-06-16) and is stale. The authoritative current status lives in.claude/CLAUDE.mdanddocs/fabric/FABRIC-2.md/FABRIC-3.md/FABRIC-3.5.md/FABRIC-3.6.md— not in the status tags inINDEX.md.
- LithosAnanke M7.1 — live — init capsules, the Tripod fleet, Stadium physics-economy,
and word-level ACL (Phases 1–7 complete; Phase 8 Ed25519 PKI pending). See
lithosananke/ROADMAP.mdand the FABRIC documents above. - Tripod VMs (post-reshuffle) — Hera (governor), Artemis (memory/block storage),
Hestia; the Hermes VM was removed and messaging moved into the kernel as kernel-Hermes.
See
.claude/CLAUDE.md. - StarForth v4 — the F18-derived 32-opcode engine with the node/mesh design. See
v4.0.0/and../v4/README.md. - Word-level ACL system — see
03-architecture/word-acl/andlithosananke/ROADMAP.md.
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.
