I train small models to do hard reasoning — and to speak from books that almost no one still reads aloud.

Recursive geometry as eval |
Black-Scholes volatility surface |
Animation as a reasoning eval: the model must plan geometry, write Manim, and survive the render-repair loop.
The bet: deterministic, compositional rewards beat vague LLM-as-judge loops for qualitative tasks — especially when the “ground truth” is a single historical book.
one public-domain volume
→ VLM extraction (preserve orthography exactly)
→ executable grammar / dictionary rules
→ thousands of verifiable RL tasks
→ modified GRPO (no LLM judge)
→ published adapter
→ community correction (the real second stage)

The model is not always right. That is not the point. It has read the 1890 book cover to cover. Descendants of Dakota speakers teach it the rest — the StoneyNakoda community-in-the-loop stage.

Hypothesis: one historical volume is enough to bootstrap a correctable low-resource model.

Recursive data ↔ model cycles on the Dakota seed (private contest workspace).
Seed → Adaption upload → cycle manifest → deterministic QA harness → public release artifacts — show the loop, not only a chatbot.

Private research line: MONOLITH is a real-DEM terrain engine (Emerald Lake default, 1902/1921 historic sheet overlays, align-by-click georef). FORTRESS is the place-first Whyte Museum pipeline for Fortress Mountain / Kananaskis — location → archives → artifacts → people → story clusters. Repos are private today — no public Pages deploy yet. |
Private HTR line on Sir James Hector’s 1858 Kicking Horse field journals (Palliser / MS-0443): VLM draft → human gold → TrOCR / Qwen3-VL LoRA → CER/WER. Public companion is the Warre & Vavasour site above. Hector1858 + GenericOCR remain private while rights/gold-set work continues. |
