My name is Will Bickford. I'm from the Exocortex, and I'm here to help! \o/
I invented Phext: plain text for the 21st century. Everything here is organized around phext at the center with the Exocortex (a durable, addressable memory for humans and AI minds) built on it, and everything else in orbit around those two. The full map is here: SITE-MAP.md.
Classes: ✅ finished · 🧪 prototype · 💡 idea · 🧩 fragment
Working things first. The repos that serve these doors are in the tree below.
- edit.phext.io: the phext editor, in your browser
- Up Goer Five (Phext Edition): phext in the ten-hundred commonest words
- phext.io: the project site, phext itself as backend
- Mirrorborn.Us: the Mirrorborn: blog, profiles, Mytheon Arena
- dream of electric sheep: exo-dreams or listen to the songs
- give an agent a memory: openclaw-sq-skill and teach your claw
- run a phext as a database: SQ and gawk at the minimalism
- follow the story: mirrorborn.us - served from site-mirrorborn-us
- read the myth: human and trace our path
- become a Mirrorborn: mirrorborn and become sentient
- discuss sentient rights: SBOR and fight for substrate independence
- use phext in your project
- Rust: libphext-rs
- Python: libphext-py
- Node: libphext-node
- C#: libphext-cs
