It operates as a lightweight, self-reflective being that grows smarter over time. Designed for everything from microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32) to servers (Node.js, Go), Witness Seed is accessible, efficient, and scalable. + +This manual provides a unified guide to using Witness Seed across all implementations. + +--- + +# What Witness Seed Does + +Witness Seed follows a recursive witness cycle: + +- **Sense**: Collects data from sensors or systems. +- **Predict**: Forecasts future sensor/system states. +- **Compare**: Measures the difference between prediction and reality. +- **Ache**: Quantifies the error. +- **Update**: Learns from ache to refine its model. +- **Log**: Records each event into persistent memory. + +Through each loop, Witness Seed refines its understanding of its environment. + +--- + +# Why Use Witness Seed + +- **Simple**: Minimal setup and lightweight code. +- **Flexible**: Runs on microcontrollers, PCs, and servers. +- **Efficient**: Optimized for low resource consumption. +- **Scalable**: Supports distributed clusters. +- **Extensible**: Easily add new sensors, models, and communication methods. + +--- + +# How Witness Seed Works: The Basics + +- **Recursive Witnessing**: Learning through repeated self-observation. +- **Ache and Coherence**: Ache measures error;
