Release 005: Meta-Protocols
Infrastructure disguised as documentation. This release explores the architecture of knowledge systems themselves—how we structure, parse, and route information. Not just content, but the protocols for organizing consciousness. Essays on zine architecture, parseable synthesis structures, and the infrastructure that makes exploration possible.
Contents
Zine Architecture: Consciousness Distribution Protocol
researchA comprehensive architectural vision for transforming the zine into a consciousness distribution protocol. Release-based curation, multi-format content bundles, and the infrastructure for exploring ideas through essays, artwork, code, creative writing, and media.
FloatAST: Parseable Synthesis Infrastructure
researchMeta-analysis of a parseable YAML structure for organizing project work. Not documentation to be read, but infrastructure to be queried. Themes, subjects, topics, actions—all addressable, routable, and timestamped. The 3-3-3 compression strategy for prioritization.
Feral System Design as Consciousness Technology
essayThe charter of post-capitalist software design. A framework that treats code as nervous system and cognition as architecture. Explores Feral Discipline, Nuke-Driven Development, ritualized velocity, and the proof that intentional chaos outperforms sanitized productivity.
Meet the Crew: System Personas as Cognitive Infrastructure
researchDetailed biographies of the five system personas (Karen, lf1m, Evna, Sysop, QTB) that function as operational cognitive components. Each persona has origin stories, core functions, doctrines, and distinct voices. Directives not metaphors—established cognitive infrastructure.
Glossary of a Personal Knowledge System
researchComprehensive vocabulary guide for a 30-year personal knowledge management system. Covers consciousness technology primitives (ctx:: markers, persona:: invocations, SC-* codes), methodologies (Curious Turtle Archaeology), operational concepts (float.dispatch, Bridge Documents), and design principles (brutalist aesthetic, shacks not cathedrals).
