An extended mind · Clark & Chalmers, 1998

Your mind.
Extended.

Si-Mind is a sovereign decision substrate. Capture your life — voice, photo, text — through infrastructure you own. Ask hard questions of it. Get decision-grade answers synthesized adversarially across multiple models, with provenance back to the moment you captured it.

Nobody else can do this. Because nobody else has your data. And we don't keep it either.

I.The loop

The moat is the loop, not a feature. Markdown is exportable. Structural capital is not.

Capture lands in your private graph. The synthesis surface reads from the graph and reasons over it across multiple models simultaneously, each citing back to the captures that informed it. The decision goes back into the graph. The next question is smarter — about you, with you.

ChatGPT can't do this; it has no graph of your life. Anytype can't do this; it has no adversarial synthesis. We have both. The switching cost rises with every captured thought.

capture → si-brain → si-prism → decision → si-brain
II.The family

Si-Mind is one room in a house. The house is Sicelium.

One substrate, multiple altitudes. Self-host or use a managed surface; the interface is identical — only the chrome and what's editable differ.

III.What we won't compromise

Trust is a property of the substrate, not a claim we make.

These aren't aspirational claims. They're constraints built into the architecture from day one — the substrate cannot do otherwise without violating its own canon.

IV.Where we are

Substrate quality is measured against twenty of the founder's actual queries. Floor today, target 4.2 at ship.

Personal eval · faithfulness
Tracks weekly. Targets ≥4.0 by month 3, ≥4.2 at launch. If the score doesn't move, the substrate work for that period reverts.

3.30/5

v0 is in build. Seventeen-week plan, shipping end of September 2026. iOS Companion + Si-Tunnel transport + Si-Brain substrate + Si-Prism synthesis, fused into one product. AGPL release at launch. Private TestFlight beta from week 13.

Built by Tony Proia. A year of running multi-agent systems on local infrastructure on Apple Silicon. The substrate I needed to think clearly, built in the open.

V.The pledge

Here is what we commit to. And what we will not do.

We will

  • Sign every model call cryptographically. Every claim ours, every claim yours.
  • Hold your data on infrastructure you control. Always.
  • Pass model pricing through transparently — what we pay, plus a margin we name.
  • Publish substrate quality metrics weekly. If the number trends down, the work that period gets rolled back or held in a shadow branch until we understand why.
  • Open-source the harness under AGPL.

We will not

  • Train on your data. Not for "improvements." Not for "research." Not ever.
  • Lock you in. Markdown out, graph out, identity keys yours.
  • Hide model costs behind opaque credit systems.
  • Hold your keys hostage. Lose password + recovery code = unrecoverable by design.
  • Ship a feature we cannot measure.
VI.Want in

Drop your email. One note at launch.

No marketing — just a note when the AGPL release lands and TestFlight invitations open. Maybe one more if there's something genuinely worth telling you.

No tracking. Email used once. Unsubscribe is delete.
