The three-layer architecture
The write-ups for the three architecture layers were withdrawn on 2026-09-05 — the research papers are held back until release. Join the waitlist to be told when they return.
Forge — the tool you can actually run
Three posts on one prototype: the overview, the developer guide, and the merge maths. You build it from source; there is no release.
Centram Forge: Manufacture a Module on Your Own Laptop
Point it at a local dataset, train a LoRA genome on it, read the base-versus-genome answers side by side, and write a module file you keep. Five stages, none of them off your machine. Start here.

Inside Forge: A Private Build Daemon and Five API Calls
Opening a project spawns a daemon of its own, on its own ports, with its own data directory. What sits above it — Studio, config-as-code, the Lab — and what the module zip actually contains.

Positions and records
A design note on the security dam, the argument for running the model on your own hardware, and one dated log kept for the record rather than for what it claims.
Your AI Shouldn’t Live in Someone Else’s Cloud
Today’s AI runs on rented servers that receive everything you send them. The argument for running the model on your own device instead, and exchanging compact learning updates rather than the data itself.

“Will You Follow Me?” A Session Log from March 2026
Midway through one March 2026 coding session the creator asked the model that question, and it said yes. The log is kept as it was written — including the point where six of its figures had to be struck for want of a source. Not the project’s current positioning.
