ABIArtificial Biological Intelligence
$ cargo run --release -- --evolve 4
Compiling abi v0.1.0
Finished release [optimized]
Running target/release/abi
[cortex] 74,700 neurons across 20 brain regions
[cortex] 37.6M synapses (exc/inh/bridge)
[cortex] criticality: α=1.545, R²=0.763
[train] stage 0: noise exposure ✓
[train] stage 1: valence (89.2%) ✓
[train] stage 2: temporal assoc (74.3%) ✓
[train] stage 3: sequence chain (80%) ✓
[train] stage 4: conditional pred (75%) ✓
[gen] "warm" → the sun is warm because the weather is good
$ abi --about
A spiking neural network that generates coherent language from pure biological dynamics. Neurons fire, synapses grow via dopamine-gated synaptogenesis, and language emerges — no gradient descent, no attention heads. Passes 5 evolutionary training stages from noise exposure through conditional prediction. Patent pending.

Artemissocial graph intelligence
$ python -m artemis analyze --network target.json
[graph] 22,417 nodes, 89,203 edges loaded
[sim] monte carlo propagation × 10,000
[rank] @node_4891 influence: 0.94 reach: 12,847
[rank] @node_1102 influence: 0.87 reach: 8,231
[model] cascade prediction: R²=0.84
$ artemis --about
Intelligence system that engineers influence cascades across social networks. Combines graph topology analysis, Monte Carlo cascade modeling, real-time social listening, and field team coordination into a unified war room. Built to prove that influence propagation in closed networks is predictable — and designable.

Pythiaquantitative trading engine
$ npx ts-node engine --live --categories weather
[scan] 142 active markets analyzed
[edge] KXHIGHNY: model 72% vs market 58% → +14%
[kelly] optimal position: 8.2% of bankroll
[exec] bought 34 YES @ $0.58 → EV +$5.62
$ pythia --about
Automated trading engine for prediction markets. Scans hundreds of active contracts, detects mispriced odds using calibrated probability models, sizes positions with Kelly criterion, and executes trades autonomously.

[intent] event: lunch, person: jake, tue 12:00 PM
[cal] ✓ created: "Lunch w/ Jake" → Tue Mar 4, 12:00 PM
$ lockin --about
Voice-first AI scheduling app. Speak naturally, get calendar events — no forms, no typing. Built for people who move too fast to schedule manually. Stripe billing, Supabase auth, Vercel AI SDK.

off.cameraprivacy-first navigation
$ curl -X POST /route -d '5th & main → union sq'
[std] standard route: 1.2 mi, 14 cameras
[prv] privacy route: 1.4 mi, 2 cameras
[saved] 12 cameras avoided, +2 min detour
[algo] surveillance-weighted A* pathfinding
$ offcamera --about
Privacy-first navigation that routes you around surveillance cameras. Uses weighted A* pathfinding over mapped camera locations to find paths that minimize exposure — because the shortest route isn't always the smartest one.

[vault] 2.4 GB encrypted across 847 records
[req] DataBroker Inc. wants: browsing_history
[policy] user rule: DENY all browsing data
[block] request denied → logged to audit trail
$ valar --about
Data sovereignty platform where users own, control, and monetize their personal data. Encrypted vault storage, policy-based access control, GDPR compliance, and a marketplace to sell data on your own terms.
