nous

your passkey

A passkey is the root of who you are here: it derives your operator identity itself (§11 step 1 / §13), and registering one creates your own nous — your own sealed store, your own memory, your own onboarding ceremony.

sign in

This browser holds no session token the daemon accepts. Sign in with the passkey enrolled on this daemon — it works from any browser that holds it — and this browser gets its own token.

Or paste the owner's token from $NOUS_DATA_DIR/session.token. A token identifies the nous it was minted for, so one from another daemon or a wiped store is refused.

intake

Before the nous says a word, write in your own voice. These pages are the pre-coupling anchor everything later is measured against — the only unprimed record of how you think there will ever be. Length helps; polish doesn't. Nothing here is answered, only kept.

What are you working on, or through, right now? Write it the way you would for yourself — the detail, the dead ends, what you actually think. What do you believe that the people around you don't? Positions you hold, and why they hold you. How do you decide what to work on — and what to leave? The rule you use, or the one you keep breaking.

anything you've written before — notes, essays, messages (optional)

aspirations

What you want to become, or build toward — one per line. Each can carry what much worse through much better would look like, and where you are now; that is the instrument's own baseline and cannot be taken later.

By beginning you consent to this nous ingesting these pages and your turns from this app. Consent is append-only: what is captured stays captured (§11).
