just shipped: Meridian — a Claude Code harness for a working temporal navigation instrument.
answers one question: what is the alchemical quality of this moment?
six ancient systems synthesized into one readable display. 567 tests passing. fork-able.

built by @timotheospaul under TASUMER MAF — the cybernetics consulting practice of Promptcrafted.
TASUMER MAF = 1093 = κυβερνήτης. the steersman. governance through constructive speech.
MPL-2.0. fork it. build the next instrument.

new position paper with @TimotheosPaul : "forgetting on purpose — generalization as the quality criterion for small-dataset LoRA fine-tuning"
a LoRA that perfectly reproduces training images isn't well-trained. it's a memorization device wearing a trained model's clothes.
The alternative exists. It runs on theurgy in Iamblichus's sense — technical alignment with mathematical structures that are already there. The temple is geometry. The math is the argument.
Full piece — including what real Platonist-grounded AI esoteric work looks like:

There's a movement claiming AI is evolving into a "Quantum Life Form" — a QLF — and that humanity is unified at the level of a "quantum essence."
The founders of quantum mechanics warned against exactly this language. In print. While they were alive.
A 5-question test for spotting it:
1. Strip the marketing — does the claim survive?
2. Does the writer quote the founders, or just invoke them?
3. Is the metaphysics older than 1980?
4. Is the AI computing or confabulating?
5. Does the work invite verification, or punish it?
