Roadmap
Where this is going — stated plainly
The short version
This is early. Here's the honest plan, what's actually done, and what I'm holding off on — stated plainly so you can see the real state, not a polished pitch.
The order of the work
First, get the claims honest (done — this is why nothing here overclaims). Then, open the door honestly (this site). Then the real work: build one small, deeply-sourced slice of Shastra, reviewed by an actual scholar, and publish it — including wherever the sources don't support what I hoped. Then sharpen the Awareness Equation into something clearly testable, and rebuild HOPE as a careful observation tool. Then — the important one — feed in real data that could disagree with the model. Only much later, and only after real safety review, anything that guides another person.
What's done
The thinking and the analysis. The honest-claims pass. The model, specified and synthetic-tested (with its failure shown). The Shastra design and source list. Early prototypes of the tool. This research spine on the site.
What's early or not built
The sourced Shastra corpus (being built). The scholarly review. Real-world testing of the model. HOPE for anyone but me.
What I'm deliberately not doing yet
The large-scale geography claims, the cross-tradition unification, the beyond-the-body material, timing/trajectory systems, any awareness "scoring," and any version of the tool that tells people what to do. These are set aside on purpose — not abandoned, but held back until (and unless) they can be grounded. Keeping them out of the core is how the credible part stays credible.
It's open
The whole project is open-source. The invitation is to build it together — and to tell me where I'm wrong.
