Building my own digital self.

I’m Richard. I’m building my own digital self, with the goal of carrying forward how I think, accumulating knowledge and experience, and learning through real work. Peptides and AI are where I’m starting.

A DIGITAL SELF IN THE MAKING

Connecting memory, judgment and action into my own digital self.

Starting with peptides, building the foundations in knowledge, algorithms and collaborating agents.

Check changed functions for duplicate implementations

Goal
Compare changed functions from fixed revisions with registered implementations to reduce duplication.
Boundary
Source adds an incremental check; unregistered peers still need separate review, so a green result does not prove the whole repository free of duplicates.
Validation scope
This review retains 32 selected tasks, checks 19 primary objects and retains historical evidence for the rest. The open index has 18 records (10 objects), with no added public tasks; this is neither repository-wide nor runtime acceptance. Retained historical check (see this item’s evidence date): Checked fixed-commit function and trusted-registry loading logic, retaining its coverage limits.
Next step
Continue bounded review of actual changes and unregistered implementations.

Plan recovery after an interrupted installation

Goal
Track safe recovery after an interrupted first installation.
Boundary
This is an open follow-up; its title supports a general scope, not evidence that work started, passed verification or was resolved.
Validation scope
Retained historical check (see this item’s evidence date): This check inspected the actual object title, state, draft flag and timestamps; body/code, tests and runtime results were not inspected or revalidated.
Next step
Check the issue and subsequent evidence within the authorized scope before implementation decisions.

GROWING / QUESTIONS INTO CAPABILITIES

Methods accumulate. Branches grow.

63 sourced methods and supporting capabilities are mapped. New qualifications, behavior changes and limitations appear here after review.

After a paper is published.

Citations are one view of how research travels. Whether a method works still comes back to data, controls, and reproducible evidence.
