> Cross-repo inventory of the entire N'Ko line of work. Built 2026-05-31 by > sweeping every N'Ko artifact modified in the last week. This is the front door > ABOVE `nko-brain-scanner/PROGRAM.md` (which only covers the research papers). > PROGRAM.md = the science. This file = the whole program (papers + protocol + > apps + synthesis + audio). ## One-line thesis (unchanged across every artifact) **N'Ko is computational infrastructure** — a designed, bijective, tone-marking script that changes what models can represent, how acoustic evidence aligns to symbols, whether an error rate is meaningful, and how sound/motion can be encoded. | Artifact | Path | What it is | Freshness | Status | |---|---|---|---|---| | **Flagship: canonical consolidation** | `nko-brain-scanner/paper/current/paper_canonical_nko_agp_20cer.tex` (+.pdf) | "N'Ko as Computational Infrastructure" — 20% CER anchor + the measurement thesis + AGP governance | **tex+pdf FROZEN at 2026-05-04**; untracked in git | **UNFREEZE TARGET** | | Pillar papers (5) | `nko-brain-scanner/paper/current/paper{2,4,5}*.tex` + `paper/final/0{1-4}` | Living Speech, Script Advantage CTC (5.25pp), Deployment, + cleaned venue-split set | Apr 24 | written/consolidated | | Program map | `nko-brain-scanner/PROGRAM.md` | The convergence figure (decode→govern→correct), pillar taxonomy, release plan | 2026-05-29 | current | | **FAC paper** | `nko-acoustic-coding/main.tex` (+.pdf) | Featural Acoustic Coding — tone resolution from acoustic F0; N'Ko as a sound codec | 2026-05-29 | reframed; pitch pilot done | | FAC experiments | `nko-acoustic-coding/experiments/` | tone-seam v0, fusion eval, H2 pitch, OCR (gpt-5.5), 104-entry toned corpus, read-speech harness | May 28–30 | runnable; gated on 1 read-speech clip | | **MAOE-N'Ko architecture** | `Desktop/MAOE-NKo-Technical-Architecture.md` (codebase `Desktop/Comp-Core`) | Mixture of Anticipatory Orthogonal Experts — AGP routing with authority-orthogonal experts + Rust admissibility gate | 2026-04-23 | architecture materialized, empirics pending | | N'Ko codebook package | `Desktop/NKo/nko/` | 3,024-entry tonal syllable codebook + phonetics; tone-mark bug FIXED (U+07EE = falling) | May 28–29 | 100 tests pass | ### Layer B — The protocol / economic layer | Artifact | Path | What it is | Status | |---|---|---|---| | **N'Ko Compute Network whitepaper** | `Desktop/NKo-Compute-Network-Whitepaper.md` | Proof-of-Linguistic-Competence on Bitcoin L2 (Stacks/EPOCH, 8 Clarity contracts, $21.64 testnet).

Why this is not always a full paper yet

Corpus pages are public-safe readers for discovered workspace artifacts. They are not automatically final papers. A corpus item becomes a polished paper only after the editable source, evidence checkpoints, references, figures, render path, and release status are attached through the paper schema.
