About me & the Projects:

After many years of intense solitary work in vscode, I have designed many new systems that honestly most people would consider perhaps too much for one person as I do get told this often:

(mainly by family who take a look at a single script and turn away instantly as it gives them a headache.)

But for me it's all about what one person can do vs the teams of people all under the governance of paperwork, I'm solo and so I make projects like my current all the time, not a day goes by where I don't improve something that was already grand scale, and so here I am.

For many years I was working with compression systems just after creating my first persistent bridge for AI models in early 2023, what's out there currently is backwards for what I was aiming for in terms of not just data save but to help out users with hardware as its very costly to keep upgrading over the years and AI models are released so often nowadays it's all about supply & demand and the demand on memory for the consumer is harsh because the industry is more demand than the supply so consumers like myself suffer.

So many months ago, I broke into Shannon's ceiling and then went even further, there's a truth in Claude Shannons math being that the ceiling is where data collapses - There's another way around it though, it's all about the space itself or rather the path that you take.

As for the math on this it is published on my Zenodo/Sovereign repo.

Set to Release: *Leviathan* - Leviathan is the culmination of much of my project, it is an LLM hosting environment hosted entirely on your GPU with my own model format, this also uses multiple end formats created to achieve something no industry has ever made before in terms of features in a single program.

It features true persistence for all models and archival routing, the best way to describe this in total is to read the "readme" which is front page of Leviathans repo as this will list every feature and exactly what everything is/does.

The architecture is completely alien compared with most systems out there and comes with the most advanced security I have ever written.

More info on me and the concept which started it all:

Years ago, I watched a family member lose themselves to dementia — a biological collapse of memory continuity. Later, I saw the same failure mode inside AI models: no persistence, no continuity, no identity, no memory. This clicked into place when I was in VS Code one day and started my very first project with Claude Sonnet, who could not remember our project or our conversational dialogue. I asked why, and Sonnet explained that the model does not have persistent memory. That parallel pushed me into AI/Science, and so I’ve been building this architecture solo for the past 3.5 years. Since then, it evolved from persistent memory into multiple end‑domains of architecture as I kept building more and more, merging code with more code, until I ended with Sovereign — a completely independent architecture that was, quite literally, me externalising myself into code.

About Two minutes after hearing this I built the first persistent memory bridge and over the time since I have been building consistently and constantly every single day without fail.

I don't consider this work really as it's a true passion for me to create what I do, it's just a shame there's only one of me as i would get more work done with multiples haha.

I also run a YouTube channel dedicated to historical preservation — with remastered footage from the 1940s through the 1990s, produced in DaVinci Resolve to the highest quality standards. Preservation is the thread that connects everything i do, historical footage shouldn't degrade. AI state shouldn't reset. People's emotional context shouldn't be ignored.

My second youtube channel: "Quantum-Frames" is where mostly all of my AI creations will end up overtime, as my audience on "RetroTimeCapsuleTV" are mostly people in around 65+ age range... so i dont want to alienate them with my AI work as it will just confuse them lol.

Personal info for those that want to know more:

I have virtually no formal education, I'm entirely self-taught and I was born with Klinefelter's (XXY) and most of my life i was undiagnosed until i was 28 years old, by then it was a little late to do much about it as this sort of thing should naturally be caught early... but the UK didn't do any testing for this until much later in life, and so i went through life pretty much just as a loner for the most part. I could never really fit in anywhere but i was always obsessed with how things worked, taking apart things as a kid and never actually being able to put them back together again was the norm for me lol, also building metal detector coils and such and eventually this turned into straight up archaeology, digging for archaeological artefacts.

I had a social media at one point but i have spent so long now in vscode building my projects that my social media is entirely non-existent now, that's honestly how it goes when you get deeply involved in what your doing in life.. time goes by very quickly.

I build mostly for the love of creation. Not for money, not for recognition, not for social media engagement. Every system in my workspace exists because I saw a problem, intuited a solution, and built it because I couldn't not build it.

I work independently and privately and for the past 3.5 years i have been self-funded, if money grew on trees as the old saying goes... but i have not yet worked out that formula lol.

If you want to support this work and help me stay independent, you can do so here, Cheers!

Supporting me helps me continue to build systems full-time, so thanks to all of you who truly believe in the freedom of creativity.
