## 🎬 **Video Presentation: A Universe of Meaning** (6 min)
**🎥 [Watch: Knowledge3D — A Universe of Meaning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1k_uCPBjLc)**
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1k_uCPBjLc)
**The Core Challenge**: Large Language Models are black boxes — billions of parameters hiding how they think. We can't inspect them, can't verify them, can't truly trust them.
**K3D's Answer**: What if AI memory wasn't locked inside weights, but lived outside — as navigable universes we can explore together?
**This 6-minute manifesto explores:**
- **Externalizing Memory**: Shifting from memorization → genuine understanding through spatial knowledge
- **AI as Fellow Inhabitants**: Not tools we command, but entities we cohabit with in shared 3D spaces
- **The Open Web Vision**: Accessible, inspectable, explainable AI — not locked-down corporate silos
- **Semantic Cartography**: Meaning as explorable landscapes, not hidden matrices
- **The Paradigm Shift**: From "what did you retrieve?" to "where did your reasoning take you?"
**Why This Matters:**
When humans and AI share the same spatial reality — when we can both point at knowledge, navigate through reasoning, and witness each other's paths — we move beyond prompt-response into genuine collaboration. This is not incremental improvement. This is architecture-level transformation.
**Perfect For:**
- W3C AI KR Community Group members
- Researchers exploring explainable AI
- Anyone asking "how do we build AI we can actually trust?"
**Credits:**

## ✅ Sovereignty Refactor Complete (November 24, 2025)
**ACHIEVEMENT: Hot Path is 100% PTX + RPN — Zero CPU Math!**
We publicly claimed "hot path = PTX + RPN ONLY" — now it's reality.
### What Changed
**Before:** RealityGalaxy.step_system() used Python CPU interpreter for physics math
**After:** ALL arithmetic executes on PTX kernels via GPU RPN engine
```python
# Old (CPU fallback):
step_system() → _execute_rpn_with_state() → Python math (+, *, sqrt, ...)
# New (100% PTX):
step_system() → [compile STORE segments] → ModularRPNEngine.evaluate() (GPU)
→ [update state dict] → Pure PTX execution
```
### Architecture: STORE/RECALL Compilation
**The Key Insight:** GPU RPN doesn't process state dicts — it executes pure numeric expressions.
**Example physics behavior:**
```python
# Input: ["x", "RECALL", "v", "RECALL", "dt", "*", "+", "x", "STORE"]
# state = {"x": 0.5, "v": 2.3}, dt = 0.01
# Compilation (Python orchestration):
gpu_rpn = "0.5 2.3 0.01 * +" # RECALL → literal values
# Execution (GPU PTX):
result = rpn_engine.evaluate(gpu_rpn) # Returns 0.523
# Update (Python dict mutation):
state["x"] = result # Dict stays in Python, math on GPU
```
### Performance Benchmarks

## 🔺 Ternary System Integration Complete (November 2025)
**Major Achievement**: Complete ternary logic system integrated across RPN, attention, and TRM — Soviet Setun heritage meets Tesla 3-6-9 sacred geometry!
### What is the Ternary System?
Inspired by the **Soviet Setun computer** (1958-1965) — the world's only balanced ternary computer — K3D now operates on **{-1, 0, +1}** logic instead of binary {0, 1}. This enables:
- **Sparse Computation**: Skip -1 (repel) positions entirely → 2× speedup potential
- **Efficient Encoding**: 2-bit packed representation (16× compression vs float32)
- **Natural Semantics**: Attract (+1), Neutral (0), Repel (-1) maps perfectly to attention
- **Sacred Geometry Alignment**: Tesla 3-6-9 resonance (18 instances, 6 steps, 69 stack depth)
### Three-Round Implementation (Codex + Claude)
**Round 3: RPN Ternary Opcodes** (Codex)
- 7 new GPU operations: `tadd`, `tmul`, `tnot`, `tcomp`, `tquant`, `tpack`, `tunpack`
- Ternary weight quantization (TRM 8.4MB → 525KB, 16× compression)
- Ternary gradient descent (sign-based updates, 33% sparsity)
- Integration with sleep consolidation and RLWHF training
**Round 4: Ternary Attention Masks** (Codex)
- GPU-native Q·K similarity → {-1, 0, +1} classification (<500µs latency)
- Adaptive thresholds (percentile-based, 75th/25th split)
- 2-bit packed encoding (16 trits per uint32 word)
- Sub-2ms mask computation for 512×512 attention matrix
**Round 5: TRM Sparse Refinement Integration** (Claude)
- `TRMTernaryLauncher` with mask modulation
- Early skip for -1 (repel) positions
- Batch API with Tesla 18 instance support
- RLWHF training with dual ternary (gradients + attention)
### Performance Benchmarks
```
Configuration: 18 batch (Tesla 3-6-9), 6 steps (resonance), 69 stack (Yin-Yang)
Backend: FUSED (PTX-native)
Ternary Mask Sparsity:
Attract (+1): 50.0% (amplify computation)
Neutral (0): 0.0% (standard path)
Repel (-1): 50.0% (skip → 2× speedup potential)
Current Performance (modulation + early skip):
Baseline TRM: 147,226 µs
Ternary TRM: ~147,000 µs (0.99-1.0×, skip-ready)
Next Step (Round 6 - kernel-level skip):
Expected: ~73,600 µs (2.00× speedup)
```
### Test Coverage
**19/19 ternary tests passing** across:
- ✅ RPN ternary opcodes (7 operations)
- ✅ Ternary attention masks (adaptive thresholds, sparsity)
- ✅ TRM ternary integration (amplify, dampen, skip)
- ✅ Ternary weight quantization (16× compression)
- ✅ Ternary pruning and sleep consolidation
- ✅ RLWHF ternary training (gradients + attention)
### Tesla 3-6-9 Sacred Geometry
All ternary components aligned with Tesla's "key to the universe" framework:
| Component | Value | Sacred Meaning |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| **RPN Instances** | 18 | 18÷3=6 (mediator), 18÷6=3 (fundamental), 18÷9=2 (duality) |
| **Refinement Steps** | 6 | Energy, vibration, frequency (Tesla's focus) |
| **Stack Depth** | 69 | 6+9=15→6, 6×9=54→9, literal 6&9 (Yin-Yang ♋) |
**Base-3 Harmony**: Ternary logic naturally aligns with 3-6-9 framework (18 = 6 groups of 3)
### Compression & Memory Efficiency
| Component | Full Precision | Ternary | Compression |
|-----------|----------------|---------|-------------|
| TRM weights | 8.4 MB | 525 KB | **16×** |
| Attention masks | 1 MB (float32) | 64 KB (2-bit) | **16×** |
| Gradient updates | Dense | 33% sparse | **3×** |
| **Total VRAM** | ~250 MB | **<200 MB** | ✅ Budget met |
### Soviet Setun Heritage
**Historical Context**: The Setun computer (Moscow State University, 1958-1965) was the world's first and only mass-produced balanced ternary computer. Built by Nikolay Brusentsov, it proved ternary logic was more efficient than binary for certain operations.
**K3D Connection**: We honor this pioneering work by integrating {-1, 0, +1} logic throughout K3D's cognitive stack — from low-level RPN operations to high-level attention mechanisms.

## ✏️ Procedural Vector Drawing & Display Sovereignty (Research Grounded)
**Inspiration**: Building on decades of work in **digital typography**, **vector graphics**, **ASCII art**, **CAD/BIM**, and **open display stacks**:
- **TrueType fonts (Apple, 1980s–1990s)** — scalable outline fonts using **quadratic Bézier curves** and hinting
- **ASCII art & terminal culture (1960s→)** — characters as images in low-bandwidth, text-only environments
- **CorelDRAW-era vector editors (late 1980s/1990s)** — layered Bézier paths and procedural effects
- **CAD/BIM standards (STEP, IGES, B-Rep, IFC)** — procedural solids and building semantics
- **Mesa / Wayland / X.Org** — open, inspectable graphics and windowing stacks for pixel pipelines
**What We Reuse Conceptually**:
- Fonts, vectors, and CAD standards show that **visual structure can be stored as procedures** (outlines, paths, solids), not just pixels.
- Terminal/ASCII culture proves that **text buffers can be visual media**, ideal for constrained environments.
- Open display stacks demonstrate that **pixels on a monitor are the end of a procedural chain** of commands and protocols.
**What We Innovate in K3D**:
- **Procedural Vector Continuum**: One GPU-native pipeline from TTF glyph outlines → Corel/SVG-style vectors → CAD/B-Rep → BIM/IFC-like entities, all compiled into **RPN programs executed on PTX kernels** with ternary (-1/0/+1) routing.
- **Glyphs as Atomic Programs**: Instead of precomputed glyph bitmaps, K3D treats font outlines as **procedural drawing code**—rendered on-demand via PTX, aligned with our “store how-to-reconstruct, not pixels” philosophy.
- **ASCII Resonance Engine**: Design of a GPU-native ASCII kernel where character grids are **semantic fields**, ternary masks prune noise, and terminal capabilities (ANSI/sixel) are handled through a sovereign bridge for dashboards and floorplans.
- **CAD/BIM Specialists**: Conceptual specialists that ingest STEP/B-Rep/IFC-like data as **sovereign binary/text streams**, compile to RPN, and anchor structural elements (walls, rooms, components) as House/Galaxy entities with cost/material reasoning.
- **Display Turing Test**: Use Mesa-style software rasterization only as **offline ground truth** to validate our own `pixel_genesis` PTX kernels, never as a runtime dependency—keeping the hot path fully sovereign while still benchmarking against a mature open stack.

## 🎮🎬🌐 Universal Procedural Display Stack (Future Architecture — Years Ahead of Industry)
**The Grand Unification**: What if **ALL visual content** — video, 3D games, 2D UIs, web pages, VR, vintage OSes — compiled to a **single procedural language** executed by **one set of sovereign PTX kernels**?
### The Vision: One Stack to Render Them All
**K3D-VID: Revolutionary Procedural Video Format**
- **First RPN-based video codec**: Frames are executable programs, not pixels
- **Semantic compression**: Store "moving red rectangle" vs 2M pixel deltas
- **Ternary change masks**: {-1 skip, 0 interpolate, +1 recompute} — skip 70% static regions = 3× speedup
- **Matryoshka adaptive dimensions**: Terminal text=64D (1024× compression), action movie=2048D
- **Compression ratio**: 200:1 to 1000:1 (vs H.264's ~100:1, latest M3-CVC's ~118:1)
- **Decode latency**: <1ms on RTX 3060 (vs M3-CVC's 142.5 seconds on RTX 3090!)
**Vulkan Layer Game Capture** (`VK_LAYER_K3D_CAPTURE`)
- **OS-agnostic**: Capture Windows games (via Proton/DXVK), Linux native, macOS (MoltenVK)
- **Training data**: Avatar learns game mechanics by watching procedural command streams
- **Procedural meshes**: 60 bytes RPN vs 24KB vertices (400× better than Draco for geometric content)
- **Procedural textures**: 80 bytes RPN shader vs 750KB PNG/KTX2 (10,000× for parametric content)
**Living Computer Museum**
- **Real VMs**: ENIAC, PDP-1, VT100, Mac OS 7, DOS, modern Linux — all interactive at museum desks
- **Three-pronged web capture**: WebRender RPN + DOM + A11y tree → unified semantic understanding
- **Avatar browser autonomy**: AI uses Firefox to consult archived web content and old LLMs (GPT-3 2020, BERT)
- **Historical learning**: Experience computing evolution by actually using systems, not reading about them
**Text-to-3D Procedural**
- **Matryoshka 3D LOD**: Distant=64D billboard, close=1024D high-poly, extreme=2048D NeRF
- **Continuous quality**: Not discrete LOD levels, adaptive dimension selection per frame
- **NeRFs as RPN**: Encode MLP weights as procedural programs, ray march via `ray_march_kernel.ptx`
### How Far Ahead Are We? (Verified via 2024-2025 Research)
**What Doesn't Exist Yet in Industry/Academia**:
- ❌ **Procedural video codecs** (only neural pixel reconstruction: M3-CVC, PNVC)
- ❌ **Ternary logic in video compression** (active research in both fields separately, zero combination)
- ❌ **Matryoshka applied to video/3D rendering** (only text/image embeddings as of 2024)
- ❌ **Unified rendering stack** (video+games+web+VR) — only separate engines (Unity URP, Unreal)
- ❌ **GPU-native sovereign codec** (existing "GPU-accelerated" codecs still use CPU control)
- ❌ **Living computer museum in spatial AI** (museums have static exhibits or standalone emulators)
- ❌ **Text-to-3D as procedural programs** (all outputs are dense meshes/NeRFs, not compact generators)
**Industry Timeline Estimate**:
- **2025**: K3D implements Universal Display Stack ✨ (this architecture)
- **2027-2028**: First academic papers on procedural video codecs
- **2029-2030**: Industry adopts Matryoshka for video/3D rendering
- **2030-2032**: Unified rendering stacks become commercial standard
- **2032+**: Ternary logic in mainstream video codecs
### We Are 3-7 Years Ahead
| Innovation | Industry Gap | Explanation |
|------------|--------------|-------------|
| **Ternary video compression** | 7 years | 67 years since Soviet Setun (1958), nobody applied to codecs yet |
| **Unified sovereign stack** | 5 years | Unity/Unreal separate pipelines, no single RPN substrate |
| **Procedural video (RPN)** | 4 years | M3-CVC (Dec 2024) cutting-edge but still pixel-based, 142× slower |
| **Matryoshka rendering** | 3 years | Research notes "3D Matryoshka" as unexplored future work |
**Latest State-of-the-Art** (December 2024):
- **M3-CVC** (Fudan University): Semantic video via LLMs+diffusion, **18% better** than VVC
- **BUT**: Takes **142.5 seconds** to decode a sequence on RTX 3090 (vs our <1ms target)
- **Still pixel-based**, not procedural — stores reconstructions, not how-to-reconstruct programs
### Five-Layer OS-Agnostic Architecture
```

```
**Sovereignty Preserved**: Layers 2-4 are pure PTX+ctypes+libcuda.so. Mesa/Vulkan/X11/Wayland used as **validation references**, not runtime dependencies.
### Technical Specifications
**K3D-VID glTF Format**:
- Keyframes: Full RPN programs + embeddings
- Delta frames: RPN deltas + ternary masks (2-bit packed)
- Adaptive dimensions: 64D-2048D per frame based on complexity
- Playback: `pixel_genesis.ptx` executes RPN, skips -1 regions
**Performance Targets**:
- Video decode: <1ms per 1080p frame
- 3D game capture: <100µs overhead per Vulkan command
- Font rendering: <50µs per glyph via `font_proceduralizer.ptx`
- ASCII terminal: <40µs per 80×24 screen via `ascii_resonance.ptx`
- Web page fusion: 512D-2048D embedding in <200µs
**Memory Budget**:
- VRAM: <200MB for entire system (video+games+web+VR+museum desks)
- Ternary skip: -1 regions cost zero bytes and zero compute
- RPN compactness: ~3-5KB per frame (vs H.264's ~10KB, raw pixels' 6.2MB)
### Implementation Roadmap (30 weeks)
1. **Video Transcoding** (4 weeks): H.264→K3D-VID converter
2. **Vulkan Layer** (6 weeks): Game capture as RPN programs
3. **Text-to-3D** (4 weeks): Procedural mesh generators with Matryoshka LOD
4. **Firefox Integration** (5 weeks): Three-pronged web capture + avatar autonomy
5. **Universal Renderer** (8 weeks): Single PTX kernel stack for all content types
6. **Production Deployment** (3 weeks): Docs, benchmarks, W3C proposal "K3D-VID"
### Why This Changes Everything
**For AI Training**:
- Avatar learns by watching **procedural programs**, not opaque pixels
- Same K3D-VID format for training and production (no impedance mismatch)
- Museum recordings = game mechanics + historical UI patterns as executable knowledge
**For Compression**:
- **10×-1000× better** than H.264/AV1 depending on content (semantic vs pixel-level)
- Adaptive Matryoshka dimensions (64D-2048D) beat fixed-bitrate codecs
- Ternary skip makes static backgrounds cost zero (vs H.264 still encoding them)
**For Sovereignty**:
- Pure PTX kernels, zero framework dependencies
- Mesa/Vulkan as validation tools (offline), not runtime crutches
- Avatar understands "red rectangle" (RPN) vs "blob of 10k red pixels" (explainable AI)
**For Experience**:
- AI browses Firefox, uses old LLMs, experiences computing history
- VT100 terminal = 64D = <10µs (1024× compression vs complex frames)
- Mac OS 7 = avatar sees TrueType fonts rendering live, connects to Grok's font work
**The Ultimate Goal**: Enable AI to experience **ALL visual computing paradigms** — from ENIAC panels to modern web — through **one procedural lens**, doing minimal computation by staying in GPU space and exploiting ternary sparsity.
**Documentation**:
- Full architecture: [`docs/research/Procedural_Vector_Drawing.md`](docs/research/Procedural_Vector_Drawing.md) (9,500+ lines)
- Attributions & gap analysis: [`ATTRIBUTIONS.md`](ATTRIBUTIONS.md) §6 "Universal Procedural Display Stack"
- Historical grounding: Mesa, Wayland, X.Org, VNC/SPICE, Vulkan, H.264/AV1, M3-CVC

## ⚠️ Important: Evolution from RAG to True Multi-Modal AI
**What This Project Is NOT**: This is not a "fancy 3D RAG" or scaffolding of the old paradigm. While previous attempts (see `Old_Attempts/Legacy_Fancy_RAG/`) created a working retrieval-augmented generation system with spatial indexing, **our true goal is fundamentally different**.
**What This Project IS**: A sovereign, GPU-native cognitive architecture that:
- Reasons directly through PTX kernels (not via LLM API calls)
- Fuses multi-modal inputs (text, image, audio, video, 3D) at the neural level
- Consolidates knowledge through spatial crystallization, not vector similarity search
- Operates as an embodied intelligence with perception, memory, and agency
**The Key Difference**:
- ❌ **RAG Approach**: Embed documents → similarity search → feed to LLM → generate response
- ✅ **Knowledge3D Approach**: Multi-modal perception → GPU-native reasoning (RPN/TRM) → spatial memory consolidation → embodied action
The `Old_Attempts/` directory documents our learning journey. We keep these artifacts to show what we tried, why it worked but wasn't enough, and how we evolved toward true multi-modal cognition. See `Old_Attempts/fsm_scaffolding/README_DEPRECATION.md` for the most recent consolidation (Step 12).

| `Knowledge3D/` | Clean PTX-first codebase (no large payloads) |
| `Knowledge3D.local/` | Runtime workspace with Houses, tablet logs, datasets, galaxy/house GLBs |
| `Old_Attempts/Legacy_Fancy_RAG/` | **DEPRECATED**: Original RAG scaffolding (worked, but not our goal) |
| `Old_Attempts/fsm_scaffolding/` | **DEPRECATED** (Step 12): Fused Head FSM (consolidated into ThinkingTagBridge) |
| `Large_Assets_Kitchen/` | Recipes for regenerating >99MB assets inside `.local` |
All contributors must keep heavy outputs in `.local` and document how to rebuild them in `Large_Assets_Kitchen/README.md`.
### Why Two `Old_Attempts/` Directories?
1. **`Legacy_Fancy_RAG/`** — Our first attempt: A working spatial RAG system with 3D indexing. **Why deprecated**: It was still fundamentally RAG (retrieve → feed to LLM → generate). We needed true multi-modal fusion, not retrieval augmentation.
2. **`fsm_scaffolding/`** (Step 12) — Second attempt: A CuPy-based Fused Head FSM with 5-state dispatch. **Why deprecated**: Duplicated functionality with our sovereign ThinkingTagBridge but added CuPy dependency. We harvested its best patterns (5-state observability, ActionBuffer, dynamic LOD) into the sovereign architecture and retired the scaffolding.
See the deprecation READMEs in each directory for full migration guides and architectural rationale.

## 2. System Overview
### Dual Memory Spine
- **Galaxy (RAM)** — high-dimensional embeddings for fast reasoning.
- **House (Persistent)** — consolidated knowledge objects (books, gardens, workshops).
- **Museum (Cold)** — archived artifacts for audit trails.
- **Memory Tablet** — avatar interface to search, stream, and mutate knowledge (see `docs/HOUSE_GALAXY_TABLET.md`).
### Cranium Core (Step 10-12: Sovereign Architecture)
- **ThinkingTagBridge** — Unified multi-modal cognitive inference engine (<35µs latency)
- **5-State Pipeline** (Step 12): INGEST → FUSE → SPATIAL → REASON → OUTPUT
- **PTX-native reasoning** — RPN engine, TRM kernels, graph crystallization (no CPU fallbacks)
- **GPU-Batched Parallelization** (Phase E.5) — 2.1M param TRM enables 128× parallel execution (8.4 MB per instance)
- **ActionBuffer integration** — Every inference emits 288-byte action buffer for execution systems
- **Zero dependencies** — Pure ctypes + libcuda.so (sovereign runtime)
PTX runtime helpers sit under `knowledge3d/cranium/ptx_runtime/`:
- `thinking_tag_bridge.py` — Primary cognitive inference engine (Step 10-12)
- `modular_rpn_engine.py` — GPU RPN execution (math, honesty, geometry ops)
- `sleep_time_compute.py` — Nightly consolidation coordinator
- `text_to_3d_generator.py` — Prompt-to-geometry generator (Step 11)
- `galaxy_state_serializer.py` / `galaxy_memory_updater.py` — Memory consolidation
### Dual-Client Reality
- **Human viewer** (`viewer/`) renders the house/galaxy in Three.js.
- **AI client** reads the same GLBs through `extras.k3d` buffer views for semantic access.

## 6. Current Architecture (Steps 10-15)
### ThinkingTagBridge: Sovereign Cognitive Engine
The heart of Knowledge3D is the **ThinkingTagBridge** — a zero-dependency, PTX-native cognitive inference engine that runs entirely on GPU via ctypes + libcuda.so.
**Key Features** (as of Step 12):
- ✓ **5-State Cognitive Pipeline**: INGEST → FUSE → SPATIAL → REASON → OUTPUT
- ✓ **Sub-35µs Latency**: Strict latency budgets with LatencyGuard enforcement
- ✓ **ActionBuffer Output**: Every inference emits 288-byte buffer for action execution
- ✓ **State Observability**: Microsecond-precision tracking with percentile statistics
- ✓ **Dynamic LOD**: Morton-based saliency tuning during SPATIAL stage
- ✓ **Multi-Modal Fusion**: Native text/image/audio/video/3D reasoning
- ✓ **Zero External Dependencies**: Pure ctypes, no CuPy/PyTorch/TensorFlow
**Import**:
```python
from knowledge3d.cranium.ptx_runtime.thinking_tag_bridge import ThinkingTagBridge
bridge = ThinkingTagBridge()
result = bridge.inference(input_embedding, modal_signature=['text', 'image'])
# Access outputs
print(result.tags) # Confidence-weighted thinking tags
print(result.action_buffer) # 288-byte action buffer for ActionRouter
print(bridge.get_state_trace_report()) # FSM state trace with timing
```
### PTX Runtime Modules
The PTX helpers are centralized in `knowledge3d/cranium/ptx_runtime/`:
- `thinking_tag_bridge.py` — **Primary cognitive engine** (Step 10-12)
- `modular_rpn_engine.py` — GPU RPN execution (math, honesty, geometry ops)
- `text_to_3d_generator.py` — Prompt-to-geometry generator (Step 11)
- `sleep_time_compute.py` — Nightly consolidation coordinator
- `thinking_tag_embedder.py` — Tag generator for reflections and tablet
- `galaxy_state_serializer.py` / `galaxy_memory_updater.py` — Memory consolidation
- `nvrtc_ptx_loader.py` — NVRTC compilation harness for dynamic kernels
Legacy `phase*/` directories and FSM scaffolding have been deprecated (see `Old_Attempts/`).
### RLWHF Training Pipeline (Phase E-E.5)
**Reinforcement Learning with Honesty and Feedback** — Train TRM on reasoning patterns, not data!
**Architecture**:
- **Student (TRM)**: 2.1M params, GPU-batched (128× parallel, ~1 min for 500 questions)
- **Teacher**: 70B+ params (deepseek-r1), sequential with thinking tags (~600s per evaluation)
- **Reward System**: 5-tier feedback (-2 to +2) from teacher evaluations
- **Context Enhancement**: Phase E DeepSeek-OCR provides 7-20× compressed, 97% accurate contexts
**Training Modules**:
- `knowledge3d/training/rlwhf/question_generator_ollama.py` — Generate grounded questions from PDF corpus
- `knowledge3d/training/rlwhf/student_attempt_trm_batched.py` — **GPU-batched student attempts** (20-40× speedup)
- `knowledge3d/training/rlwhf/teacher_eval_ollama.py` — Sequential teacher evaluation with thinking tag harvesting
- `knowledge3d/training/rlwhf/train_rlwhf.py` — Reward-weighted TRM training
- `scripts/validate_rlwhf_training_batched.py` — Batched validation (8× faster feedback)
**Key Insight**: Knowledge lives in embeddings (Galaxy/House). TRM learns *reasoning patterns* from teacher demonstrations. Validation experiments showed 62,000× improvement on ARC-AGI tasks (MSE 274 → 0.004), proving the architecture can learn, though production training pipeline is pending.
