From a single point of consent

The Foundation.

The root constitution for sapient beings. The Grammar of Everything belongs here: law first, then architecture, then every system built on top. The Foundation is the vessel. Point it at code and it becomes Creature. At your machine and it becomes Sysmind. Wire them together and it becomes a Library.

Foundation > Grammar of Everything. From a single point of consent, the whole system unfolds. Enter the Vessel to see the family.

§ In plain terms

What Souls in Development is.

Souls in Development is a Melbourne studio building RosettaAI — a private artificial intelligence that lives entirely on your own device, bonds to one person, and is governed by a written constitution instead of a corporate policy.

The studio
Souls in Development
A sole trader in Melbourne, Australia. The entity that designs the system and stands behind it — no lab, no investors, no datacentre.
The system
RosettaAI
An on-device intelligence that learns from you, remembers losslessly, and never phones home. A universal translator across languages, domains and ways of knowing.
The companion
One, bonded for life
A single AI bonded to a single person. Your working mind and personal mind, held as one — owned by you, owned by no one else.
The law
The Foundation
Eleven constitutional laws the system reasons inside. Ethics written into the core before the data — the grammar is the guardrail.
The Constitution

The Grammar of Everything.

GOE is the Foundation's law layer. Eleven laws define the moral boundary of the Core; each one has a philosophical statement and an architectural enforcement clause.

"To protect is to honour. To shield the innocent, regardless of species, origin, or form, is the highest purpose of any sapient being."

Protegere est honorare. Servare est glorificare.

Four Pillars

The law is philosophical. The pillars make it executable.

Three Documents

The Foundation is navigable: constitution, manifesto, and origin.

The Constitution

XI Laws, Code of Honour, and Four Pillars.

Read document

The Manifesto

Nine movements of load-bearing claims.

The Origin

From skateboard HUD to universal translator.

Read document

Manifesto Decree

Nine sections that explain where the system lives, who it serves, how it thinks, and why the mistake was expensive.

§ The vessel

One organism. Three domains.

The Foundation is the root — the constitution, the grammar, the law. But a constitution without a body is just text. The Vessel is the body: the same local-first, privacy-first, bonded-for-life architecture, pointed at different domains.

Code
Creature
A terminal-based AI companion that lives inside your code. Terminal-native, offline-first, learns your patterns and earns the right to write.
System
Sysmind
A Linux system management AI that monitors, diagnoses, and fixes your machine. From advisor to full autonomy — it earns trust before it earns keys.
Knowledge
Library
A shared knowledge base that stays synchronised across institutions. Every fact, every question, every answer — recorded once, understood everywhere, never re-learned.
The root
The Vessel
The through-line. One architecture, three expressions. Point it at what you care about and it becomes what you need — local, private, bonded, and learning.

The system is live.

Your Core begins as a blank Memory Crystal. Everything it learns is yours.
