I'm Michael Clark. After 40 years of engineering for Google, Apple, and

Cisco — building infrastructure only giant companies could afford — I'm

spending the next chapter on the opposite problem.

**Are-Self** is an open-source AI reasoning engine that runs on cheap,

local hardware you already own. MIT licensed. No cloud, no credit card,

no CS degree. Small free models work together as a swarm, reasoning

autonomously and forming memories — on a laptop.

The bigger mission: **Oracle at Delphi in a box** — solar-powered,

self-contained machines loaded with curated human knowledge, deployed

to communities without internet. A kid in a village with no data plan

should still get to ask a machine a hard question and get a real answer.

This project isn't a company, nonprofit, or VC round. It's me, released

personally under *scipraxian*. Every coffee you buy me goes to test

hardware, hosting, and time to keep shipping toward Oracle deployment.
