Home/Trails/Methodology Trail🔬 Methodology TrailHow ecoPrimals was built — AI-assisted development from constraint to production. 1 K-NOME ProgrammingKnowledge-Numeric Observed and Mentored Evolutionary Programming 2 The Conversation ConstraintNo human hand wrote code. The conversation is the interface — why zero human-written code is a deliberate structural constraint, not a limitation. 3 The Prompt BankThe working vocabulary of K-NOME in practice — real prompts from ecosystem development, not polished templates. 4 Massively Parallel MentoringHow K-NOME actually runs: 3-6 machines, many parallel conversations, the human as mycelium between growth tips. 5 The Sovereign PublicationWhy reproducible code + data + environment + cryptographic provenance on sovereign hardware is more valuable than a journal paper. 6 I Don't Know Rust — Building a Scientific Computing Ecosystem Through Conversation15 primals. 114,000+ tests. 175+ papers reproduced. Built through conversation by someone who can't read the language. Start This Trail →
