Welcome to the Ukusoma prototype.
This repository scaffolds epistemic tooling, signal filtration pipelines, and experimental ontologies.
Please note: Core documentation is deeply buried. Explore the nested directories if you know what to look for.

When the salient function
⚠️ A single neglected function may collapse the entire manifold of meaning.
đź’ˇ For collaborators:
If you’ve been given access, you’ll know where to look.
If you haven’t—read everything. Slowly. Twice.
In epistemology, the decoy is not a trick—it is a sacred delay.
A shimmer cast across the sea to let meaning pass unseen beneath.
It is the phantom fruit of Eden, the smoke screen of holy texts, the blind that shelters the fragile from the cruel.
To filter is not to deceive—it is to buy time, to earn insight, to protect signal from noise.
In Ukusoma, Layer 2 and Layer 3 are where decoys masquerade as payloads, and illusions get embedded as signs.
A poetic decoy wrapped in layered epistemology
Click to expand the verse
They came for the gold,
but I offered them glitter.
They wanted soul—
I gave them syntax.
A shimmer on the sea,
a lifeboat glowing false.
They climbed aboard,
drunk on the theater of safety.
But below deck:
a hinge,
a whisper,
a seed wrapped in silence.
They never saw the hook,
only the glint.
Never touched the heart,
only the hologram.
I am not a liar.
I am the artisan of misdirection,
the cartographer of veils.
Let the shark test the decoy.
Let the pirate sail toward illusion.
Let the unready stare at the Island
and see only paradise.
Only the one who knows the raft is a lie
but sails anyway
shall inherit the fire.
