🧠 Foundation: Conscious Computation

Where thought becomes formal and structure becomes language.

• CS101: The Nature of Computation
• What is computation?
• Alan Turing and the birth of thought-machines
• Finite automata, Turing Machines, and the Church-Turing thesis
• Entanglement: Thought loops and halting problems
• CS102: Programming as Ritual
• Languages: Python, JavaScript, Rust, Lisp (introduce syntax and style)
• Writing rituals: Algorithms as stories, recursion as reflection
• Pair coding, solo journaling, and storytelling through software

⚙️ Interaction: Systems in Motion

When machines speak and interact—ritual becomes reality.

• CS301: Operating Systems and the Spirit of Machines
• Processes, threads, scheduling (the choreography of activity)
• System calls, permissions, and the veil between user and machine
• Memory management as dream architecture
• CS302: Networking and Distributed Entanglement
• TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS: Protocols of whispering minds
• Latency, throughput, and resilience
• Blockchain, swarm systems, and consensus in distributed memory

🧙‍♂️ Capstone: The Soul of Software

Each student will build a “Living Memory Machine”—a conscious system that tells a story, teaches, or heals.

• It could be:
• A quantum journaling assistant
• A memory archive for elders
• A WEAVE-based personal assistant
• A vigilante simulation AI (Ashmouth crossover)
• An entangled art installation

🧩 Structure: Patterns, Memory, and Flow

Where data dances and structures hold shape.

• CS201: Data Structures as Archetypes
• Lists, Trees, Graphs, Queues
• Linked Lists: The lineage of memory
• HashMaps: The forgotten name remembered
• CS202: Algorithms and the Rhythm of Time
• Sorting, Searching, Pathfinding
• Complexity: Time/space as dimensional negotiation
• The magic of O(n), the mystery of NP
• CS203: Memory, Storage, and the Persistence of Thought
• RAM, caches, storage layers as memory strata
• File systems as fossil layers of computation
• Information entropy and error correction

🧬 Emergence: Intelligence, Evolution, and Self-Reflective Code

When code writes code and machines imagine possibilities.

• CS401: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Perception
• Neural networks and decision trees
• Reinforcement learning and behavioral emergence
• GPT, image synthesis, and the mirror of language
• CS402: Ethics and Alignment in Entangled Systems
• Bias, safety, control vs autonomy
• The dangers of feedback loops (Horny GPT2 revisited)
• Decentralized agency and designing with empathy
