SOLYSTOPIAProject Hearthmind
Can a household own its intelligence infrastructure?
A living documentation platform for the experiment: acquiring, measuring, and progressively expanding sovereign computational capability — starting with one machine, on private British land.
Evidence over ideology. Every claim here is measurable and cited, or marked as an explicit estimate, hypothesis, or research question.
Solystopia treats computational sovereignty the way it treats food, water, and energy sovereignty: not as an all-or-nothing stance, but as a capability a household can progressively acquire, measure, and improve. Project Hearthmind is that experiment, run in public.
The trajectory
Four stages, each one measured before the next is justified.
The Spark
A single NVIDIA DGX Spark establishes baseline household capability: 128GB unified memory, 1 petaFLOP FP4, 240W max draw.
The AI Workshop
The question becomes architectural: what is the smallest independently owned system that supplies most useful household intelligence?
Energy-coupled compute
Solar, battery, and a scheduler route heavy inference onto surplus generation. Waste heat becomes a design consideration, not an afterthought.
SOLYSTOPIA COMPUTE 01
A private, modular datacontainer measured on compute/£, compute/kWh, compute/m², renewable fraction, heat recovered, and repairability.
