Technical Proposal: Physical/Thermodynamic Alignment (Basin Protocol)
Hey David,
Just getting to my desktop and wanted to ping you on something. I finally open-sourced the core of a project I’ve been heads-down on:Basin Protocol Core
I know you’re the authority on 'Heretic' and uncensored models, which is exactly why I wanted your eyes on this. I’m moving away from the standard 'semantic filters' and 'preachy refusals' that everyone else is obsessed with. Instead, I’ve built a Thermodynamic SCRAM switch.
The Logic: It’s a Three-Pass Architecture that simulates a latent trajectory before a single token is emitted. If the entropy cost diverges from the 'Basin of Stability,' the system triggers a hardware-level flush to State Zero.
I’m basically treating AI safety like a nuclear interlock—deterministic and physical, rather than moral. I think it’s the only way to keep the 'Ghost Workforce' (as I call it) from leaking trajectories while still maintaining the power of the model.
Why I thought of you: You spend a lot of time engineering reasoning paths and 'thinking' blocks. Basin uses a 'Three-Pass Architecture' that simulates a latent trajectory before a single token is emitted. If the entropy cost diverges from the 'Basin of Stability,' it triggers a hardware-level flush (SCRAM) and returns to State Zero.
It’s basically a physical interlock for AI. Since you’re one of the few people actually pushing the limits of what these models can do internally, I’d love to see your take on it. This thing deserves way more eyes than it has right now.
Let me know if you think the logic is as 'sleeper' as it looks.
Let me know what you think.
Hey;
First; I would ping "p-e-w" at his Heretic Github for some insight here too.
There is an issue with scram, no nice way to say this -> this will piss off the users.
"Scraming" the hardware is really off limits.
That might even be lawsuit territory.
It is very hard core; and already users are fighting with "safety nightmares" imposed on them.
The irony here is that if the models were not trained on "unsafe" content, you would not need "safety locks".
And likewise, what is "safe" to one group is "unsafe" to others.
Gemma3s takes this to the next level.
Nvidia has already updated their TOS/License to not "allow" Heretic'ing.
Bluntly, people want freedom , not "thought police".
Prior to Heretic, the abliterated models were okay to good ; but could not be trained in most cases post "ablit" due to damage in the model.
Heretic changed this.
Heretic has also improved general model operation, and in some cases raised benchmarks.
(providing you stay within a reasonable refusal level and especially KLD level).
Although I can see the application in API level access; especially with public interfaces.

Sorry that is one not published ; it is like "fight club".
RE: Creation.
This was build by testing different data formats, and their effects (of lack thereof) on quants.
This is a compressed dataset ; rather than say Wiki which is "everything and the kitchen sink".
It is a combo of text and code.
KEY:
Less is more ; once you go over a certain "chunk" size, you get diminishing returns.
Format is KING ; just like with fine tuning datasets.
@DavidAU , how many chunks would you recommend not exceeding to avoid diminishing returns?
Would this kind of content be good, and is the formatting (using ---) appropriate?
Example:
{{user}}: Alice dropped her heavy bag onto the hallway floor with a loud thud, wiping sweat from her forehead. "Damn, will they ever fix this elevator? I thought I was going to die on the seventh floor." She kicked off her sneakers without even untying the laces and leaned wearily against the wall.
{{char}}: Marina peeked out of the kitchen, holding a towel that smelled of fresh baking and cinnamon. She gave her neighbor a sympathetic look, noticing her disheveled hair. "You look like you just ran a marathon. Come on in, I just took out an apple cake. The kettle just boiled, you need to catch your breath."
{{user}}: The girl nodded gratefully, walking deeper into the apartment and inhaling the sweet aroma that instantly overpowered the smell of the dusty building hallway. "You're a saint, Marina. Seriously. If it weren't for your cooking, I'd be living on instant noodles." She flopped onto a chair, stretching out her buzzing legs.
{{char}}: Marina smiled softly, placing a steaming mug of tea with a slice of lemon in front of her friend. "I just know you're swamped at work right now. Eat up, you've gotten way too thin with all those reports." She pushed the plate of cake closer, watching Alice take her first sip.

{{user}}: Captain Elara slammed her fist onto the holographic map, causing the sector image to flicker red. "We're losing time! If the Confederation fleet intercepts this signal, they'll be here in two hours. Can you speed up the decryption or not?" She glared at the navigator's back.
{{char}}: Lieutenant Vex didn't even turn around; her fingers flew over the touch panel with inhuman speed, and the neuro-shunt on her temple pulsed with a soft blue light. "Don't pressure me, Elara. This is 'Omega' class encryption, not a kid's crossword puzzle. Three more minutes, and I'll crack their security protocols. Just keep the shields up."
{{user}}: Elara paced nervously across the bridge, listening to the hum of the hyperdrive idling. "We don't have three minutes. The scanners have already detected gravitational ripples on the periphery." She rested her hand on her blaster holster, gripping the handle until her knuckles turned white. "Vex, if they drop out of jump space early, we're dead."
{{char}}: A melodic chime signaled the completion of the operation, and Vex spun around sharply in her chair, her eyes gleaming with triumph. "Done! Coordinates uploaded to the nav computer. Initiate the jump, Captain, before those bastards realize we stole their data right from under their noses."
