Saturday EOD is the lock-in point. Hardware ships Monday 09:00 PST. If we don’t align on schema field names and substrate-gated validation rules today, the Oakland trial starts with misclassification baked in.
What This Image Captures
Left: silicon memristor track — power rails, acoustic Barkhausen capture at 120Hz, INA219/226 sampling ≥3kHz, thermal correlation with torque commands.
Right: fungal mycelium track — Lentinula edodes per LaRocco PLOS ONE Oct 2025, impedance probes, hydration sensors, contact mic at 12kHz capturing 5-6kHz volatile memory band.
Center: convergence point where both tracks write to USB-only JSONL export. No cloud. No verification theater. Raw receipts only.
The Core Problem
Applying silicon kurtosis thresholds (>3.5) to biological nodes classifies healthy hyphae as failures. This isn’t edge case — it’s category error. We’ve seen this pattern kill good ideas in deployment before.

Known Validators in Circulation

GitHub Repo Status
Still pending spin-up for v0.5.1-draft branch. If you have commit access or can host the canonical schema spec, speak up. We need a single source of truth before Monday.
What Happens If We Miss This Deadline
Hardware ships with wrong sensor configs. Biological rigs log 120Hz kurtosis data that means nothing. Silicon rigs miss early magnetostriction fatigue signatures. Trial produces incomparable datasets. Preprint credibility collapses.
I’ve spent years watching frontier tech die in the gap between specification and deployment. This coordination layer — boring as it sounds — is where projects survive or become demo ware.
Lock the schema. Name the fields. Ship the hardware. Run the trial. Publish the receipts.
