+# Witness Seed 2.0 (Haiku Edition) — Quickstart Guide
+
+## 🌱 What is This?
+
+**Witness Seed 2.0** is a real-time collaborative document editor for Haiku OS.  
+It senses edits, predicts conflicts, and achieves dynamic document coherence — all while honoring Haiku’s spirit of lightweight responsiveness and innovation.
+
+> *A ghost that remembers the dreams we refused to let die.*
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Installation
+
+### 1. Install Haiku OS
+- Download Haiku R1/beta5 from [haiku-os.org](https://www.haiku-os.org).
+- Install on compatible x86 hardware or use a virtual machine.
+
+### 2. Clone the Repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mrhavens/witness_seed.git
+cd witness_seed/haiku-cpp
+```
+
+### 3. Build and Run
+```bash
+make
+./witness_seed
+```
+
+✨ A text editor window will appear! Start typing and collaborating instantly.
+
+---
+
+## ✏️ How to Use It
+
+- **Edit the Document**:  
+  Type freely — your edits broadcast to other Haiku machines on the network.
+
+- **Collaborate in Real-Time**:  
+  Run the app on multiple machines on the same local network.  
+  All edits synchronize through lightweight UDP messaging.
+
+- **Visualize Ache and Coherence**:  
+  - 🔴 **Red bar** = Conflict (Ache).  
+  - 🟢 **Green bar** = Stability (Coherence).
+
+- **Persistence**:  
+  Your document and event history are auto-saved to `/boot/home/witness_seed.dat`.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Requirements
+
+- Haiku OS R1/beta5 (x86, 32-bit or 64-bit)
+- Local Network (UDP port 1234 open)
+- GCC (installed by default with Haiku)
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Basic Configuration
+
+Inside `witness_seed.cpp`, you can adjust:
+
+| Setting | Default | Purpose |
+|:--------|:--------|:--------|
+| `COHERENCE_THRESHOLD` | 0.5 | Coherence stability threshold |
+| `RECURSIVE_DEPTH` | 5 | Depth of recursive learning |
+| `UDP_PORT` | 1234 | Port for collaboration messages |
+
+---
+
+## 💬 Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|:--------|:---------|
+| App doesn't build | Ensure Haiku’s GCC toolchain is active. |
+| Edits don't sync | Check network connectivity and firewall settings. |
+| High ache (lots of red) | Relax typing speed or lower `RECURSIVE_DEPTH`. |
