Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d0a76420a5 Add DoE library HOWTO (cookbook entry 2), flag stale L8-DOE claims in bare_metal/README.md
Documents capsules/doe.4th's word-level DOE/EXEC-DOE entry points, CSV
format, and a verified-not-fixed caveat: the rep column doesn't track
actual repetition count when n-reps differs from the file's fixed N-REPS=30
constant (cfg is unaffected, only rep is misleading -- use run_id instead).

Also surfaces, but does not fix, a real staleness finding in
experiments/bare_metal/README.md: its documented L8-DOE/WL-HI/WL-LO
entry point and workload-dispatch mechanism does not exist anywhere in the
current capsule set. What "DoE" actually names today is three separate
mechanisms (doe.4th's word-level DOE, doe-campaign.4th's fleet-touch
campaigns, and artemis/init.4th's auto-run ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN) -- this
HOWTO documents only the first, per explicit scope decision.

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. See formal/CLAUDE.md for 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notes, DoE experiment logs, hardware/platform notes, draft specs, academic-paper source material, and an archive of superseded docs.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.md and lithosananke/M7.1.md.
  • Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See 03-architecture/word-acl/README.md.
  • Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block storage). See 03-architecture/tripod/README.md and birthing/.

Contributing

  • Place new material in working/ first; promote to formal/ only when it's ready to be cited (see formal/CLAUDE.md for promotion criteria).
  • Never touch patent/, formal/patent/, formal/scraps/legal/, or working/legal/ without Bob's explicit instruction.
  • Add a README.md to any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
