This page is a working synthesis of the evolving philosophical and infrastructural alignment between Carlos’s Bonfire AI research and Sacred Protocol’s Shrine Node architecture. It’s meant to guide thinking, orient dev decisions, and archive shared language.
Direction Notes
- Frame Cleric as a ritual entity trained on symbolic and ecological texts, not a productivity tool.
- Use Shrine Nodes as symbolic computational units—interfaces between spiritual offering and machine behavior.
- Explore digital calorimetry as a method to measure symbolic “energy,” complexity, or contribution weight.
- Design for stigmergic coordination, not central command—let emergent behavior drive transformation.

Experimental Crossovers
- Calorimetric Mapping: Could offerings be weighted? What inputs shift Cleric’s internal state?
- Trigger Architecture: What themes, frequencies, or contributors push a node to evolve?
- Symbolic Measurement: Could rituals be mapped the way energy states are—stable, high-energy, collapsing?
Carlos: Feel free to…
- Add Calorimetry notes or Chaos Theory references
- Drop pseudocode, links, or system sketches
- Treat this like a collaborative whiteboard for symbolic/theoretical convergence
