NIX / MAP

Features to build.

The implementations ahead: a desktop, games, a wallet, and the system that makes them real. This is the order of the work. It is not a ship date.

IN CORE TODAY

The slice that already runs.

Core boots in QEMU. You can write, save, ask a question, and open Ghost. Everything below is what gets built on top of that.

01

The prompt is home.

You say what you want to do. Author opens a manuscript. Ghost opens when you ask for a terminal.

02

A book can survive a restart.

Author holds four manuscripts. Save writes a checksummed generation. A damaged latest copy falls back. Text exports as ordinary files.

03

A local model can answer.

SmolLM2 runs on the machine, offline. Ask in plain language. You confirm a plan before anything on the system changes.

IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP

In this order.

  1. A desktop you can ask for.

    Windows, a pointer, and drag and resize. Leave work open. The prompt stays the front door. The desktop is there when you want it.

  2. Author, as a real writing Pod.

    Chapters, revision, notes, import, and export. Manuscripts that outgrow the four short slots. Begin, leave, and come back to the same book. Memories

  3. Memories for the rest of the work.

    Photos, audio, projects, installs, and saves, each with a history. Search, backup, and restore. Removing an application leaves the work you made, until you delete that too.

  4. A conversation that stays on the machine.

    Multi-turn chat, and the Memories you chose to include. Larger models, then GPU inference, when the target computer can carry them. If the model stalls, the shell still works.

  5. Pioneer builds what is missing.

    Look through a vetted catalog first. Reuse what already fits. Build the rest in an isolated workspace, with the permissions and a rollback visible before it opens. Pioneer

  6. A Pod for each task.

    Writing, building, and playing each get a program, a set of permissions, and the Memories that task needs. Install, update, and remove are reversible. Pods

  7. Ghost as a full terminal.

    Ask for a terminal and get processes, a session, and command chains you can leave and return to. Home remains the prompt.

  8. The network, when you grant it.

    Research and installs can go out with an explicit permission. Inference stays on the computer. The machine still works with the network off.

  9. One custom computer, booting NIX.

    UEFI on one chosen x64 profile: CPU, GPU, storage, audio, USB, and Ethernet. Boot it, read a failure, and recover. QEMU stays the lab. Custom

  10. Games.

    Ask to play. NIX prepares a guest, graphics, input, and audio for a game you own. The install and the save are separate Memories.

  11. A wallet on the machine.

    Open it from the prompt. Keys are created and kept here. A payment is a confirmation you can read. The prompt does not take a seed phrase.

  12. One familiar application.

    One named Windows or Linux application, in one guest, on the chosen hardware, with the test written down. Then the next application.

  13. Graphics, speed, and the room around you.

    Drivers and measured performance for the chosen GPU. Games that need that speed. Immersive devices after a published list of what ran, on what machine.
