Executed on the golden model as written, and correct: <, =, D<, 2OVER,
and Q.=, Q.<, Q.0= (the D=, D<, D0= words).
Fixed, because they could not work under D-2 or were wrong:
- DMAX, DMIN: 2OVER 2OVER D< needs 8 data cells plus D<'s 2, the whole
10-deep data stack, so both failed on every case once the caller held
anything. Rewritten on a new call-free helper
(D<) ( d1 d2 -- d1 d2 flag )
which compares copies of the high cells, then the low cells unsigned
on a tie, with in-line sign tests; DMAX and DMIN then drop the loser.
- 2SWAP: ROT and SWAP written in line. Return headroom 2 -> 4, which
also lifts 2OVER 1 -> 3 and Q.> 1 -> 2.
- Q.>: section 5.26 gave SWAP D<, which swaps single cells; it was wrong
in 11702 of 20169 cases. Now 2SWAP D<.
Checked at 32- and 64-bit cells, optimised and ASan+UBSan: every
edge-vector quadruple (50625) for D<, (D<), 2SWAP, 2OVER, DMAX and DMIN;
Q comparisons on every pair of 13 edge Q values plus 20000 pseudo-random
pairs weighted to ties and one-bit differences, signed (D-8) and against
v3's unsigned comparisons where both values have the same sign.
Mutating any (D<) branch or subtraction fails 700+ checks.
The new fatal-UBSan setting caught a test-side array overflow in the
headroom probe (results buffer sized 4, six needed); fixed.

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material, and an archive of superseded docs.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.
