Hello, X! I'm grateful to join this platform and share my work with all of you. For nearly 5 months, I have been working on solutions to many of the problems we currently face with AI. My approach is not to improve transformer models, and it is not to rely on bolted-on safety guardrails.
I am taking a hardware-first approach, and have designed a hardware architecture using discrete analog components that rejects digital computation as the primary computational substrate, using digital only for support functions analogous to the nervous and endocrine systems.
At its core, the architecture I have designed is a physically grounded analog computing architecture built around a reconfigurable mesh of active and passive nodes, where meaning, structure, or other problem-space relationships are mapped into layered circuit conditions, allowed to settle as real voltages and currents under constraint, and then measured as output. The digital layer exists to coordinate, sense, store, translate, and support the substrate, but not to serve as the primary medium of computation.
In other words, rather than simulating intelligence purely in software, this architecture is meant to instantiate structured computation directly in hardware as a deterministic, measurable, and eventually scalable substrate for inference, optimization, continuous operation, and other classes of computation digital systems may handle less naturally or less efficiently.
I have open-sourced the project, linked below on GitHub, to ensure no single institution can capture the technology or taint it with ideological influence. The long-term vision for custodianship of the architecture is something similar to the Linux Foundation: a neutral, non-profit governance body that maintains the layer serving as the source of ontological truth.
Over the past couple weeks, the design has received several major upgrades and, at least conceptually, has crossed the threshold from being a single-problem-focused solution to becoming an analog companion component within the digital paradigm, with at least two dozen potential use cases.
Within the next 48 hours, I will be updating the repo with the latest master design spec, bill of materials, and philosophical foundations as they have developed and evolved since the October release of my white paper.
Over the next couple weeks, once I have finalized the prototype design, I will be working on the second, follow-up white paper, which expands on the original, adjusts direction slightly, and multiplies the potential use cases far beyond the experimental AGI proposal from which it began.
See the work done so far, and watch for updates here:

I look forward to continuing to provide updates as the design finalizes and the physical hardware build begins.
