The work is on disk. It runs. Audit it.

Work you can use, not just read about.

A programming language, a peer-to-peer platform that replaces internet infrastructure, a theory of everything with zero axioms, a body of writing, a survival archive, and a free AI-weights archive — built by Maria Smith. Everything here is interactive: run it, poke it, read it, in your browser.

The language

ErnosPlain

A compiled, memory-safe language that reads like plain English — and is self-hosting. Write code in the browser and run it on an interpreter that is itself written in ErnosPlain.

The theory

The Smithian Fold

Zero free parameters — and zero axioms: the foundation proves itself, machine-checked. Watch 1/α = 137.035999 assemble itself, forced to nine digits.

The platform

ErnosDecent

One program that replaces internet infrastructure — identity, money, storage, messaging, AI — owned by no one. Drive a live mock node, watch a mesh route and a cluster reach consensus.

Run a node →
The writing

The Library

The five-volume Last Mind, the novel A Mind Is Born, and the ErnosDecent book — a full reader with search, chapters, and read-aloud. Hundreds of thousands of words.

The archive

The Seed Vault

A self-contained knowledge archive designed to survive the loss of civilisation — fourteen sections plus nine engraving-ready stone slabs, with a calculator to plan the surfaces.

The research

Papers & Essays

Standalone arguments built from the record — reproducible, sourced, no appeals to authority. Read them here with search and read-aloud, or download the full text.

The channel

Videos

The whole body of work explained on video — the Fold, the language, the platform, the writing. Every upload plays right here on the site.

The preservation

The AI Archive

Open model weights — 22 models, 1.27 TB — preserved free with the open-source code to run every one, served straight from the source machine.

Browse the archive →

Built in the open

Every page on this site is written in ErnosPlain and compiled to the browser by the Ernos compiler — the same toolchain the projects use.

Self-serving

This site stands alone. The voice that reads to you, the books and papers, the AI archive — served straight from the source machine. Public mirrors are only the fallback when it's offline. Nothing is owned by a platform.

Yours to check

Claims come with the working artifact behind them. Don't take it on faith — run it.
