About A hash
A reasoning computer that governs AI models. Every act sealed, addressed, and replayable. Inspectable by anyone. The record belongs to you, not to the model that produced it. What the computer produces is reasoning itself, governed as it's made and kept permanently as the system's own state. The application calls SDI; SDI runs the loop, invokes the model as its processor, and writes the record. A language the reasoning is written in, a protocol that governs what becomes state, and a machine that runs both.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
